Vizio - 70 Class - Led - V Series - 2160p - Smart - 4k Uhd Tv With Hdr Review

Market Context

Design

The feet are set almost as wide as the TV, and there's no alternate narrow position, so you need a big surface to put the TV on if y'all don't program on wall-mounting it. They back up the TV well and don't wobble much.

Footprint of the 65 inch stand: 49.eight" ten 12.0"

Wall Mount VESA 400x200

The back of the TV is plain. The pinnacle half is metal, while the bottom half is plastic. In that location's no cablevision direction, and some of the inputs are dorsum-facing, which isn't ideal if you want to wall-mount the TV as they're hard to reach.

Borders 0.50" (one.three cm)

Max Thickness two.44" (6.two cm)

The TV is relatively thin and shouldn't stick out much when wall-mounted.

The build quality is okay. It'due south a mix of metal and plastic, and while it doesn't feel especially premium, we didn't observe whatsoever bug with the structure except for a little fleck of flex bottom half of the dorsum panel. The stand supports the Tv set well and doesn't wobble much.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast five,257 : 1

Contrast with local dimming N/A

This Tv has an splendid contrast ratio, as expected for a VA panel. This results in deep blacks when viewed in a dark room. Unfortunately, in that location'southward no local dimming feature to improve black levels. Note that dissimilarity can vary between units.

Automatic Brightness Limiting (ABL) 0.000

This TV has disappointing SDR summit brightness, and it's not bright enough to overcome glare in a brilliant room. Fortunately, in that location'due south very niggling variation in peak brightness with different content.

We measured the SDR meridian brightness after calibration in the 'Calibrated Night' Picture Mode, with Gamma set to 'ii.2', and Color Temperature set to 'Warm'.

If prototype accuracy isn't as important to you lot as height brightness, the 'Brilliant' Picture mode is a flake brighter; withal, the divergence isn't really noticeable, as it just goes up to 226 cd/m² in the fifty% window.

Local Dimming No

Backlight Straight

Update 07/26/2021: We've added two new videos demonstrating the backlight beliefs with existent content.

Although Vizio markets this Tv as having a full-array backlight, information technology'south just a direct-lit backlight, and it doesn't have a local dimming feature. The video is for reference just, so you tin come across how the local dimming feature on other displays compares to 1 without local dimming.

Automatic Brightness Limiting (ABL) 0.001

The HDR peak brightness is bad. It's not bright enough for small specular highlights to stand up out, resulting in a rather flat, boring prototype. The EOTF follows the PQ curve relatively well, with a sharp curlicue-off towards its peak brightness, merely most scenes aren't quite equally brilliant as they should exist.

We measured the HDR peak brightness before scale in the 'Calibrated Night' Picture Style, with Gamma set to ii.ii, and Color Temperature set to 'Warm'.

If you lot find HDR content too dim, you lot can make it brighter past setting the Picture Mode to 'Calibrated Dark', Gamma to '1.8', Color Temperature to 'Standard', Local Contrast to 'High', Backlight Control to 'On', and Blackness Detail to 'High'. These settings result in a brighter image, as you can see in this EOTF.

HDR summit brightness is about the aforementioned in Game Mode as out of it.

50% Std. Dev. iii.948%

50% DSE 0.222%

5% Std. Dev. ii.618%

5% DSE 0.133%

Gray uniformity on our unit is mediocre. At that place's vignetting at the corners and a fair amount of dirty screen effect (DSE) in the center. The DSE is slightly better in nighttime scenes, simply the backlight drain is much more noticeable. Annotation that gray uniformity can vary between individual units.

Native Std. Dev. 0.792%

Std. Dev. w/ Fifty.D. N/A

Blackness uniformity on our unit is corking. At that place's a bit of clouding at the bottom of the screen, and some backlight bleed forth the edges. Note that black uniformity can vary between private units.

Colour Washout 24°

Color Shift 34°

Brightness Loss 27°

Black Level Raise 13°

Gamma Shift 16°

This TV has poor viewing angles, typical of about VA panels. Images look done out when viewed from the sides, so information technology isn't ideal for large rooms with wide seating areas. If you demand something with wide viewing angles, check out the LG UP7000.

Screen Stop Semi-gloss

Full Reflections four.4%

Indirect Reflections 0.6%

Calculated Directly Reflections 3.8%

This Tv set has proficient reflection handling. The semi-gloss cease doesn't lengthened direct reflections very well, though, then vivid lights can yet exist distracting. Since this TV can't get very bright, visibility tin still be an issue in a bright environment.

White Residue dE 3.35

Color dE 2.39

Gamma ii.19

Colour Temperature six,121 M

Picture Mode Calibrated Nighttime

Color Temp Setting Warm

Gamma Setting two.2

This TV has skilful accurateness out of the box, simply this can vary between individual units due to manufacturing tolerances. The white residue is decent, simply brighter shades of gray are a bit off. Colors are great for the most part, except for yellows, which might be noticeable with some content. Gamma is pretty shut to our two.2 scale target for a nighttime room, only bright scenes are over-brightened a flake.

White Balance dE 0.31

Colour dE 1.57

Gamma 2.22

Color Temperature 6,481 K

White Balance Calibration 20 bespeak

Color Scale Yes

After calibration, the overall accurateness of this Idiot box is outstanding. White balance is almost perfect, and the color temperature is almost spot-on our 6500K target. Yellows are much better, but there are nevertheless hard-to-spot inaccuracies with a few colors. Gamma is better, except that vivid scenes are now too night.

Y'all can see our recommended settings here.

Upscaling of 480p content, like DVDs, is decent, only it's a fleck worse than most 4k TVs on the market.

This TV upscales 720p content well, but it isn't as good as most other recent 4k TVs. If y'all desire a similar, entry-level TV that does a better job at upscaling 720p content, bank check out the TCL 4 Series 2020.

This TV upscales 1080p content well with no visible artifacts.

This Goggle box displays 4k content perfectly.

This TV can't display an 8k betoken.

Like most VA panels, this Television set uses a less-optimal BGR sub-pixel structure. While this doesn't affect picture quality, it tin can touch how text is rendered when using the TV as a PC monitor. Y'all can read more than most it here.

Wide Colour Gamut No

DCI P3 xy 74.99%

DCI P3 uv 80.68%

Rec 2020 xy 53.88%

Rec 2020 uv 58.82%

This Boob tube has a decent colour gamut, but it can't display a broad color gamut for HDR content. Coverage of the DCI P3 colour space used by virtually current HDR content is good, only information technology can't display the full range of any of the primary colors. Coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space is disappointing, so it'due south non very futurity-proof.

Normalized DCI P3 Coverage ITP seventy.five%

x,000 cd/m² DCI P3 Coverage ITP 24.4%

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 51.five%

10,000 cd/one thousand² Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 17.7%

This Television has a mediocre color volume, by and large due to its lack of a wide color gamut. Saturated blues aren't very brilliant, and despite the high dissimilarity ratio, it can't brandish saturated colors at low luminance levels very well.

Color Depth 10 Bit

Ruby (Std. Dev.) 0.099

Green (Std. Dev.) 0.098

Blue (Std. Dev.) 0.089

Greyness (Std. Dev.) 0.094

This TV has first-class slope treatment. At that place'due south only some minor banding in the greens and grays. Setting Contour Smoothing to 'Loftier' removes most of it, simply it can cause a loss of fine details in some scenes.

There are no signs of temporary image retention; all the same, it can vary between individual units.

Permanent Burn-In Risk No

Nosotros don't look VA panels to feel permanent image retention, every bit the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.

Motion

80% Response Time half-dozen.6 ms

100% Response Fourth dimension 22.2 ms

This Tv has a mediocre response fourth dimension. Transitions in dark scenes are considerably slower than bright scenes, so there'due south a meaning blur trail behind fast-moving objects in darker scenes. On the other mitt, at that place'southward no noticeable overshoot, so at that place'due south no inverse ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

Flicker-Gratuitous No

PWM Dimming Frequency 480 Hz

The backlight is flicker-free when the brightness is set to max. However, if information technology'southward ready to anything beneath that, the backlight flickers at 480Hz in all moving picture modes.

Optional BFI No

Min Flicker For 60 fps 480 Hz

60Hz For lx fps No

120Hz For 120 fps N/A

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Mode 480 Hz

This TV doesn't have an optional Black Frame Insertion feature, but it flickers permanently at 480Hz at any backlight level below the maximum, which can help to reduce the appearance of persistence blur a bit.

Move Interpolation (thirty fps) No

Motion Interpolation (60 fps) No

This TV doesn't have a motion interpolation feature.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps xix.v ms

Frame Hold Fourth dimension @ 60 fps 0.0 ms

Due to the TV's slower response time, there's very fiddling stutter in lower frame content.

Judder-Free 24p Yes

Judder-Free 24p via 60p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60i No

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps Yes

This TV can remove judder from 24p sources and native apps, only non from 60p/60i sources like nearly cable boxes. To enable judder removal from supported sources, only enable Film Mode.

8k @ 60Hz No

This Boob tube supports most mutual resolutions at 60Hz and can display proper blush 4:4:4 at 1080p and 4k, which is important for clear text. It can display an image in 1440p with chroma subsampling; however, it looks stretched out and fuzzy. If yous want to use chroma 4:4:4, first set the PC to four:4:4 or RGB, so set the Total Color 4:iv:4 setting to 'On' on the TV. For signals that require total bandwidth, set HDMI Style to '2.1'.

Update 07/26/2021: To confirm that this Idiot box doesn't support any extra bandwidth, we connected it to a PC with an NVIDIA RTX 3070 and tried sending a 4k @ 60Hz ten-bit signal with full RGB. This format surpasses the bandwidth limitations of HDMI 2.0, but should be supported by the TV's processor. Unfortunately, when sending this signal to whatsoever of the iii HDMI ports the TV wasn't able to display annihilation, confirming that it doesn't back up HDMI two.ane.

Although advertised to support HDMI ii.1, this TV can't accept advantage of the extra bandwidth on any of its ports.
