From The Verge: Vizio announced new revisions of its entire consumer 4K TV lineup today, with the latest waves of the P-Series, M-Series, D-Series, and E-Series set to arrive in stores over the next several weeks. And if you visit the company’s website today, you’ll notice that Vizio is again referring to these devices as TVs — not just “displays” — because they all once again have TV tuners and coax inputs built-in.
At the top of the 2018 family is an entirely new flagship, the P-Series Quantum. Available only in a 65-inch model, the P-Series Quantum is the company’s brightest TV yet and reaches peak brightness of 2,000 nits. That should make things like fire, explosions, and other HDR goodness really pop to the point where you might need to look away from the screen. For context, the old P-Series topped out above 500 nits in some HDR scenes.
The P-Series Quantum also has more full-array local dimming zones (192 versus “up to 120” in the regular 2018 P-Series), so it should put out some of the best contrast and deepest blacks you’ve ever seen from a Vizio-branded TV. And as Samsung has done with its QLED lineup, Vizio is now talking up quantum dot technology as a differentiator and the key reason for the P-Series Quantum’s lush colors and expanded range. The company isn’t getting very specific on that point just yet.
It’s priced at $2,199.99, which is higher than the $1,799.99 asking price for Vizio’s non-Quantum P-Series in the same size. The P-Series Quantum will be released sometime this summer, trailing the rest of the lineup by a bit.
