  • - Hey guys this is Austin!

  • When Vizio reached out and wanted to sponsor a video

  • on the brand new P Series Quantum X TV,

  • the very first thing I thought of,

  • was that this actually looks like

  • a properly cool gaming monitor.

  • By properly cool I mean

  • a 65 inch game monitor that I currently have

  • plugged into a gaming PC right now,

  • 'cause I mean of course I do...

  • Just don't mind the cables.

  • We'll tidy those up never.

  • Especially when you pair this with a gaming PC

  • you can get some real performance out of it.

  • And of course you can watch This Is episodes,

  • which is definitely a good idea,

  • you can check it out: YouTube.com/thisis.

  • But more importantly than that,

  • you can do real things like Apex Legends.

  • One of the main advantages with the P Series Quantum X

  • is just how bright it is.

  • So you can't go over the HDR mode,

  • you can get a peak brightness of nearly 3000 nits.

  • Not only is that way beyond pretty much any other TV

  • we've ever looked at,

  • but especially when you compare it to like a gaming monitor,

  • it is so much brighter

  • and one of the nice things

  • is that things that Windows are doing a much better job,

  • although not quite perfect,

  • of supporting HDR displays and consoles,

  • such as the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X,

  • can also take advantage

  • of that incredible brightness and clarity.

  • I know it sounds like super marketing kind of speak,

  • but it is really nice to see something

  • which can get this bright

  • but also still has all the functionality you expect

  • in a gaming display.

  • One of the more subtle features is around back.

  • So here we have five HDMI ports,

  • four of which will do 4K,

  • 60 Hertz,

  • HDR,

  • all that kind of stuff,

  • but what really drew me to this TV is HDMI number five,

  • as this will allow the TV to run at 1080p

  • at a full 120 Hertz.

  • Now that is awesome,

  • seriously this is a 65 inch,

  • 120 Hertz display.

  • And importantly,

  • unlike most TVs that have some sort of so-called game mode,

  • this actually is a super low-latency port,

  • I mean you're looking at somewhere in the neighborhood

  • of only ten milliseconds of latency,

  • which is very much on par with live game monitors,

  • which are much much smaller.

  • So the first thing that jumps out to me is

  • that this is a giant display.

  • I should've moved my mouse and keyboard farther away,

  • but the advantage here is that

  • we really are getting an experience

  • that you just can't get on a console.

  • Sure consoles can play at 4K,

  • HDR,

  • and all that kind of stuff,

  • but you're never going to get this super high refresh rate.

  • I mean dude,

  • that's so smooth and it's so big,

  • like ridiculous.

  • For real though,

  • I love the idea of hooking up a gaming PC

  • to a display like this.

  • It's such a unique sort of proposition,

  • 'cause yeah there are these high-end 4K HDR gaming TVs.

  • That's nice,

  • but they're insanely expensive,

  • whereas this is something which you can use as a TV,

  • you can use it to watch Netflix or YouTube

  • or whatever the case is,

  • and you can also plug your gaming PC in

  • and get an incredibly good gaming experience.

  • Right now we're like 150 frames per second

  • and it's buttery smooth.

  • Oh there we go,

  • there we go!

  • There we go!

  • Dude people are totally sleeping on the idea

  • of using a TV as a gaming display.

  • Now sure it's not the smallest thing in the world

  • and won't fit on your desk for example,

  • unless you have a really baller desk,

  • but the advantage here is that you're getting something

  • which will work for everything,

  • right?

  • You plug your PC in,

  • you can play super high frame rates,

  • super low latency,

  • but you can also hook up something like a console

  • and of course use it as a proper TV as well.

  • A big reason why this TV is such a jack of all trades is

  • because it takes advantage of this year's

  • quantum color technology.

  • Quantum dots are a really interesting thing

  • that is not something

  • that has really been explained very well

  • as far as I'm concerned.

  • So of course I had to bring my buddy West in,

  • to see exactly what this thing is all about.

  • What makes it tick,

  • what makes it...

  • Pixel?

  • Sparkle,

  • we're gonna go with sparkle on that one.

  • What actually makes a quantum dot different than say

  • just a standard LCD?

  • - Well with the standard LCD

  • you obviously have a giant backlight,

  • that's then pushing through sort of a transparent finish

  • of pixels,

  • right?

  • And then they're glowing different colors

  • by having that light go through.

  • - [Austin] Yeah. - But to tune that backlight,

  • there's always a filter,

  • so instead of being super blue - You can never be

  • as accurate as you wanna be.

  • - Exactly,

  • it makes more of a neutral white.

  • But what's really cool about quantum dot technology

  • is that it actually lets you get that full range

  • of brightness and color - Yeah.

  • - without getting super crunchy.

  • - Yeah yeah.

  • So with that quantum dot tech,

  • it allows for a wider range of color

  • and that is backed up by the act of full array dimming,

  • which has a full 480 zones of local dimming on board,

  • which means that you actually get some proper contrast,

  • as well as some very very bright highlights.

  • So right now we're casting this as a TV right?

  • - Yeah we're casting over Chromecast,

  • Vizio's SmartCast OS

  • essentially has a Chromecast Ultra to filter it in.

  • - So we have 4K,

  • HDR,

  • the whole thing. - Exactly,

  • anything that you can cast in 4K HDR to Chromecast Ultra,

  • you can do with this.

  • - But you also do have Netflix and all that kind of stuff,

  • and I know that they're actually adding AirPlay as well

  • to the TV soon,

  • right?

  • - [West] Yep AirPlay control with Google Home and Alexa

  • and all that fun stuff. - [Austin] Oh yeah!

  • - So they're really seeming to make it fully integrated.

  • - [Austin] They have everything on this.

  • I really think it's worth considering a giant display

  • such as the P Series Quatum X.

  • Not only is it good as a TV,

  • but it's also surprisingly solid

  • as a gaming display as well.

  • If you guys are interested,

  • I'll have a link in the description to check this guy out,

  • Vizio did give me a promo code

  • which will get you a little it of a percentage off of it,

  • so definitely be sure to go check that out.

- Hey guys this is Austin!
