| Vizio 4K TV Glossary of Terms |
| 4K Ultra HD (UHD) = 4K is the new standard in TVs. It has 8 megapixels of resolution, which is 4X the Resolution of Full HD 1080p TVs currently on the market. This allows you to sit closer to the TVs as the pixels are smaller, and will give you a more immersive movie theater type of experience. 4K TVs also give you richer and more natural colors (especially TVs with quantum dot technology). High Dynamic Range (HDR) = Vizio is going all in with HDR, which gives you brighter picture with colors that pop, and better picture when there is a lot of bright and dark areas on the picture. Most 2017 4K models on this page are equipped able to take advantage of 4K HDR which will be available on 4K bluray discs and other sources. The M-Series and P-Series provide Dolby Vision in addition to the HDR 10 format support, which is one of the standards in the industry. QLED (Quantum Dots) = Vizio Reference Series is the only Vizio TVs with quantum dots). This technology will give a brighter picture with a much wider range of colors when compared to normal TVs. It also will provide deeper blacks. This is reserved for Vizio Top of line LED TVs. Samsung, Sony, and LG all have Quantum Dot technology as well. No Onboard TV Tuners = The 2017 Vizio TVs don’t have built in ATSC over the air tuners. So no coaxial/RF input. For most people this is not a problem as the TV uses your cable TV box and HDMI input. But if you want free over-the-air or digital channels using an external antenna, you will need an external tuner, or another brand of TV. HEVC (H.265) codec = HEVC (H.265) is a new compression codec that is used to compress video. This new codec compresses twice as much data as previous codecs, so that 4K Ultra HD video can be sent over cable and the internet. HEVC (H.265) will allow 4K/60p playback for viewing 4K sports in the future. 4K/60p will also be available on future 4K camcorders. All of Vizio’s 2017 line of 4K TVs have HEVC installed. Netflix 4K Content is currently streamed using this HEVC decoder. What native 4K Content is Available Today? = Currently, Youtube, Amazon and Netflix are streaming 4K content to consumers. ESPN, Comcast Xfinity, and others have announced that they too will have 4K content in 2017. XLED Pro – Full Array Dimming = Only the P-Series has XLED Pro with Full Array Dimming. The picture quality, black levels, and contrast can be greatly enhanced with Full Array Dimming. This type of system can also eliminate or reduce halo effects, clouding, and light bleeding. Vizio Dimming Zones = An LED TV is illuminated from the rear by LED lights. These lights can be dimmed or turned off to give maximum contrast and picture quality. The more dimming zones the better. The P-Series has the most dimming zones (128) of the Vizio TVs presented on this page. HDMI® 2.0 Support = HDMI 2.0 is the next generation of HDMI which will provide higher framerates for 4K Ultra HD content, more audio channels, and Full 4K 3D. All of Vizio’s 2015 4K models come standard with HDMI 2.0 installed. V8 Octa-Core Processor = All of Vizio’s 2017 4K Ultra HD Lineup will have a V8 Octa-Core Processor. This will greatly increase the functionality and speed of Smart TVs, and internet connectivity. Mastered in 4K Blu-ray Discs = To accomodate the new 4K TVs, new blu-ray discs have been introduced that were mastered in 4K to give you the best picture on your 4K TV from a blu-ray disc. They are recorded with higher bit rates for better picture quality. These discs can be played by blu-ray players and Playstation 3 and 4 players onto your 4K Television. Genuine native 4K Blu-ray players were first introduced in 2016. They now have HDR support. LED TV = Instead of a conventional fluorescent backlight, these HDTVs use LED lights for backlighting. This dramatically improves picture contrast, colors, and overall picture. LED TVs also use about 40% less electricity. Edge Lit LED TV = An LED TV that is illuminated from the side or edges by an array of LED lights. Some of the latest Edge lit sets can achieve local dimming with the latest technology. UHD = Ultra High Definition, or 4K. Has 4x more resolution compared to Full HD. IPS Panel = An IPS Panel gives you a wider viewing angle without losing contrast than standard panels. Native 120Hz = 120Hz anti blur technology. Eliminates blur on LCD TVs during high action sports and movies. Clear Action = Clear Action works with your 60Hz or 120Hz panel to give you a better picture from fast moving action. The higher the Clear Action rate on Vizio TVs, the better. The P-Series has the highest Clear Action rate. HDMI = HDMI inputs allow you to connect devices to your HDTV such as DVD and Blu-ray players and game consoles. HDMI 2.0 is the latest 4K Television standard, which increases bandwidth to 18gbps, allowing higher framerates, more audio channels, Full resolution 4K 3D. Smart TV/Internet Ready = An internet ready TV allows you to connect an ethernet cable or Wifi wireless connection to your TV. Content can include services such as Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, and other content. Chromecast Built-in = Thousands of Chromecast enabled-apps allow you to easily stream content from your phone directly to your display.
