There are still inaccuracies with most colors, but they're much harder to spot with the naked eye.

We also investigated the red tint issue separately using a spectroradiometer and discovered that the backlight itself has an above-normal red wavelength you can see the recorded backlight spectrum here.Īfter calibration, the Vizio P Series Quantum X 2021's color accuracy is outstanding. As such, we're sticking with the initial calibration. However, while this new calibration removed all of the red tint, it causes the appearance of faint yellow-green lines when displaying shades of white or blue.
#VIZIO NETFLIX 4K UPDATE#
Update : We attempted a new calibration after updating to the latest firmware (version 5.10.13.1-2) to address the red tint issue. The 65" model has fewer lighting zones while the 85" model has more. Zone transitions are fast and aren't really visible. Unfortunately, subtitles are bright, and there's a lot of blooming around them. There's some blooming around bright objects due to the TV's high brightness, but it isn't as noticeable in regular content, as the algorithm does a pretty good job of balancing bright and dark areas. We recommend using the 'Medium' setting (local dimming is called Active Full-Array). The Vizio P75QX-H1 has a great full-array local dimming feature.

The only thing that hasn't changed much is how it handles subtitles there's still a lot of blooming around them. Zone transition is faster and looks good. The recommended setting for local dimming is now 'Medium', as it causes less blooming, and the lighting is applied more evenly, so it doesn't look as blotchy.

Update : We've updated the TV's firmware to version 5.10.13.1-2. Update : We've added two new videos demonstrating the local dimming feature with real content. We achieved a peak brightness of 2309 cd/m² in the 10% window using these settings. If you don't mind losing image accuracy, you can get a brighter picture using the 'Vivid' Picture Mode, with Backlight at max, Active Full-Array set to 'High', Gamma set to 2.2, and Color Temperature set to 'Cool'. We measured the SDR peak brightness after calibration, using the 'Calibrated Dark' Picture Mode, with Backlight at max, Active Full-Array set to 'High', Gamma set to 2.2, and Color Temperature set to 'Warm'. However, the brightness varies a lot across different content, and generally gets dimmer as large, bright areas cover the screen. It's more than enough to overcome glare, so you shouldn't have any visibility issues in well-lit environments. The Vizio P Series Quantum X 2021 has excellent SDR peak brightness. As such, we're posting the results from the initial calibration. However, while this new calibration addressed the red tint issue, it causes the appearance of faint yellow-green lines when displaying shades of white or blue, as well as causing a drop of about 100 cd/m² in brightness.

Update : We've retested the SDR peak brightness after updating to the newest firmware (version 5.10.13.1-2) using a new calibration. As such, we're keeping the original calibration. We attempted a different calibration to address this issue and it removed the red tint however, it caused yellow-green lines to appear when displaying shades of white or blue. It isn't due to calibration, as it persists even after performing a calibration reset. Note: Our unit has a reddish tint that's present when displaying an image from any of its HDMI ports, which is why some of the photos in the review look a bit red. Also, even though its SmartCast interface is user-friendly, it doesn't have as many apps as other platforms since Vizio doesn't have an app store. Unfortunately, it has pretty narrow viewing angles, so it might not be the best option for wide seating arrangements. Its low input lag should please most gamers, and it supports variable refresh rate (VRR) to reduce screen tearing. It has a fast response time and a Black Frame Insertion feature, resulting in clear images in fast-moving scenes. Its high peak brightness fights glare easily and delivers an exceptional HDR experience with bright highlights. It has a VA panel with a high contrast ratio, which is further enhanced by a full-array local dimming feature, allowing it to produce deep blacks.
