Overview

VIZIO builds this compact M-Series set around Quantum Color, LEDs spread behind the screen and the IQ Active processor, with a V-Gaming engine for console play. The SmartCast platform and a voice remote handle apps and free channels.

Quantum Color and full array lighting in a small screen are the reason to buy, along with variable refresh and a low-lag mode for consoles. The limits: the HDMI count is missing, the refresh rate is ordinary, and the stated speaker power is modest.

Who it's for

Gamers and streamers with a small desk or bedroom setup suit the compact size. Buyers connecting many devices, or wanting a big living room screen, should look at a larger model with a documented port count.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full array backlight
  • Variable refresh for consoles
  • Bluetooth headphone capability
  • Casting from Apple and Google devices
Cons
  • HDMI port count missing
  • Standard refresh rate
  • Modest speaker output
  • Software update support unknown

Performance notes

With LEDs placed behind the whole panel, brightness is even and local control is possible, while the quantum color layer widens the color range. Variable refresh and Auto Game Mode reduce tearing and input delay for consoles. Small speakers set the sound ceiling, so a soundbar helps for movies.
