By | May 22nd, 2019|Categories: AV Hub|

Vizio’s budget V-Series will offer 4K and Dolby Vision for just $259

By | May 21st, 2019|Categories: TechRadar|

Vizio is attacking both ends of the price spectrum with its 2019 series of 4K TVs: On one end, there’s the new P-Series Quantum X that promises an eyeball-searing 3,000 nits of peak brightness while on the other end, there’s the new V-Series that will offer a 4K Dolby Vision screen for just $259. 

Both TVs are part of the 2019 Vizio TV lineup that was announced today. 

The 2019 TVs will fall under four new series – the M-Series Quantum and P-Series Quantum, plus the aforementioned P-Series Quantum X and all-new V-Series that will replace the E-Series at the bottom of the lineup – all of which will support the latest version of SmartCast (now up to version 3.0) and include support for Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit via a firmware update later this year. 

Admittedly, the specs of the P-Series Quantum X are the real bombshell here: It’s a 4K HDR TV with support for Dolby Vision, 384 local dimming zones and UltraBright 3000 – i.e.… Read the full article
