Consider that in Calibrated mode on Vizio P-Series, the backlight is set at 60 percent (and even at that it often looks too bright). In Calibrated mode, Vizio sets the V-Series backlight at 100 percent versus Bright mode where it's 95 percent. Looking at the picture settings for each mode was also intriguing. However, Bright mode on the Vizio V-Series did not blow out colors or make all the actors on screen look like they had sunburns. Switching the set to Bright mode, we expected it to oversaturate bright colors like red and make night scenes look like they were shot in bright sunlight. (There is no Filmmaker mode for this set.) However, the 50-inch V-Series looked dim and unable to render details in images in Calibrated mode. Almost without exception, the calibrated or movie mode on most TVs delivers the most accurate colors and contrast. We noticed immediately that the low brightness of the Vizio V-Series made a difference in what video mode we judged was best for everyday viewing. And, of course, to set everything up and get online, the TV has built-in Wi-Fi 802.11ac with dual band support. For more up-to-date entertainment sources, the V-Series has support for Apple's Airplay and Google's Chromecast built in, so you can stream media from compatible devices. There's even a set of composite video inputs for ancient video sources like a VCR. In addition, there is a USB port, Ethernet connection, headphone jack, RF connection for an antenna, and digital audio output. (Check out the best TV mounts to see what options we recommend.) If you'd prefer a wall mount for this set, you should purchase a standard VESA 200 x 200 millimeter bracket, which can cost anywhere from $25 to $80. It uses a pair of V-shaped legs, for example, positioned near each end of the set to support it on a tabletop. Wrapped in a black plastic chassis, the Vizio V-Series looks similar to other sets in this class. We also expect performance to be fairly similar, regardless of which size model you're looking at, so our recommendations apply across the entire V-Series model line. The Vizio V-Series shares most characteristics across all of the screen sizes, with the same full-array backlighting and the same port selections and features. However, in our testing, the M-Series model did better in producing the full color gamut and kicked out a much brighter picture. The 50-inch Vizio M-Series Quantum (M658-G1), for example, is more expensive than the same sized V-Series.
The next series up, Vizio's M-Series, represents a significant price escalation, along with some better performance.
