Right out of the box, the TV Vizio 55
Right out of the box, the TV is a bit
underwhelming in terms of picture quality. Although the design itself is
quite aesthetic, reminiscent of the modern and slick designs of an
iMac, the picture quality without calibration is bit too cool. Luckily,
this is easily remedied and with a few changes, the picture looks
AMAZING. It blows the picture quality of my old Sony XBR3 LCD tv and my 5
year old Vizio out of the water. Deep, dark, inky blacks, with
excellent color, that's not washed out nor over-saturated.
In short, here are the pros and cons of the set:
Pros:1) Great minimalistic design. The bezels are barely there, making the set quite immersive.
2)
Vivid colors, without being overblown, along with deep blacks. The
full-array dimming definitely helps obtaining nice deep blacks. 1080p
content is crystal clear, though it's helpful to drop the sharpness down
to 40 to avoid the haloing effect.
3) The "Calibrated dark" looks
good enough to me, though, I find it necessary to change the color from
"Cool" which is standard, to "normal" or "Computer" as "Cool" provides
too much of a blue hue to the screen. "Normal," which oddly isn't
standard, looks pretty neutral to me. More picky videophiles will likely
want to calibrate it further, and those options are certainly
available.
4) WiFi reception is good, better than the 2014 E-series,
it seems, but it's not quite as strong in reception as my Playstation 4.
Depending on your network, you may want to use a WiFi repeater or
Ethernet.
5) Not a single dead or stuck pixel! Though one report
doesn't mean all are good, it seems the QA is pretty decent based on
this set.
6) Subjectively, input lag seems to be better than my old sets. No ghosting either!
7) Excellent viewing angles.
