Vizio has unveiled its 2021 TV Collection that includes two OLED 4K TVs that should appeal to future owners of next-gen consoles. The 55-inch and 65-inch Vizio OLED 4K TVs feature the company’s ProGaming Engine and HDMI 2.1 support, which is ideal for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The pricing should help Vizio stay competitive in the crowded marketplace.

Vizio has announced its 2021 TV Collection, which consists of the P-Series Quantum X, P-Series Quantum, M-Series Quantum, and the V-Series. Along with those ranges are the new 55-inch and 65-inch Vizio OLED TVs, which are the first OLED sets to be produced by the American company. The new OLEDs feature a “luxury borderless design” and have a peak brightness of 800 nits. A built-in Vizio IQ Ultra processor handles all the smart-related tasks.

Gamers are definitely one of the groups Vizio is targeting with these new 120 Hz OLEDs. Both sets feature the company’s ProGaming Engine, which offers a whole feast of goodies that should please fussy gamers. The ProGaming Engine allows for variable refresh rate support (VRR), and conveniently, considering that both the PS5 and Xbox Series X feature AMD CPUs and GPUs, the Vizio OLEDs can also handle AMD FreeSync. There’s a low latency mode for serious gaming sessions and even an auto game mode that can identify when games are being played via the input signal.

The 55-inch Vizio OLED TV is priced at a competitive level of US$1,300 while the 65-inch Vizio OLED TV has a price tag of US$2,000. Vizio is known for its affordable TVs, and the above prices are still cheaper than similar products from rivals such as LG. With HDMI 2.1, HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision, Dolby TrueHD, and a svelte measurement of just 4 mm at their thinnest points, the new Vizio OLED 4K TVs should appeal to next-gen console owners and regular TV viewers alike.
