In these scenes the original P-Series looked a bit better overall than the PQ, although the latter still beat the black levels of the Sony and TCL. The PQ showed more shadow detail than the Q9, which obscured (or "crushed") a lot of the detail in areas near black, like the robes of the attackers. But they were still excellent, and deeper than any of the other LCDs. I was surprised to see the dark areas and letterbox bars of the Vizio PQ weren't quite as deep as the original P-Series or especially the Samsung Q9. I also noticed some banding in HDR material on the Vizio, but it was rare and certainly didn't ruin an otherwise outstanding performance.Ĭlick the image at the right to see the picture settings used in the review and to read more about how this TV's picture controls worked during calibration.ĭim lighting: To establish a black level baseline I turned first to the super-dark torture test: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Chapter 10, where Voldemort's gang invades Hogwart's.
While the Q9 has more impactful HDR, its shadow detail with standard dynamic range falls short of the PQ. Video processing and uniformity are top-notch. The PQ has superb black levels and contrast for home theater lighting as well as one of the best bright-room images on the market, second only to the Samsung Q9 among TVs I've tested. TVs that cost less, such as Vizio's standard P-Series and TCL's 6 series, don't perform as well - especially with the highest-quality 4K and HDR images. The only TVs that match or beat its picture, namely OLEDs and Samsung's Q9, cost a heck of a lot more. It's not as good overall as LG's OLED TVs (which earn the "10"), but it can get brighter and delivers otherwise excellent image quality in nearly every area. The PQ is one of the best LCD-based TVs I've tested, and earns the year's first "9" score in this category.
