VIZIO’s 50-inch M-Series Quantum X 4K HDR Gaming Smart TV
(M50QXM-K01) was named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in the
Gaming category. Designed for the optimal gaming experience,
VIZIO’s new 4K HDR Gaming Smart TV display features 48-120Hz VRR
support at 4K, and also offers 48-240Hz VRR support at 1080p. This
lightning-fast 240fps frame rate doubles the highest frame rate
currently available in other consumer TVs, and virtually eliminates
ghosting with razor sharp images with superbly smooth and natural
motion during fast-action game play. Gaming is further enhanced
with a high contrast picture from the active full array local
dimming backlight, a spectacular range of color provided by Quantum
Dot technology, and premium gaming features like Auto Low Latency,
Dolby Vision Auto Gaming, and HGiG game HDR. For a completely
immersive audio experience, the TV is equipped with DTS:X, Dolby
Digital+, AC-4 decoding and Dolby Atmos eARC pass-through, with
Virtual:X surround sound and Bluetooth wireless headphone support.
The TV’s elegant and refined industrial design features a metal,
3-side nearly bezel-less design that gives a very minimalistic,
clean look enabling zero-distraction gaming. The TV stand offers
additional design flexibility thanks to its two adjustable
positions that allow users to lower the height of the TV for better
viewing comfort or to raise the TV to provide additional clearance
for a sound bar. In addition to being a premium gaming TV that
supports 1080p at 240Hz, VIZIO's HDR Gaming Smart TV is also an
excellent 4K/120Hz entertainment platform featuring VIZIO’s
SmartCast™ operating system.
The VIZIO M-Series Elevate 5.1.2 Sound Bar (M512E-K6) was also
named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Home Audio/Video
Components & Accessories category. A revolution in design, the
M-Series Elevate Sound Bar packs thrilling sound into a stylish
system that’s simple to set up and control. Concealed behind a
visually harmonious charcoal fabric exterior and spun aluminum
endcaps is a pair of adaptive height speakers, a patented
technology first introduced in the company’s groundbreaking
P-Series Elevate Sound Bar. When immersive content is detected, EQ
is automatically adjusted and the outer front speakers rotate up,
reflecting sound off of the listener’s ceiling to present a 5.1.2
cinematic surround sound experience. When playing stereo music and
channel-based content in Direct mode, those speakers automatically
rotate downward to a forward-firing position, presenting a wider
soundstage with crisp, clear vocals. The Movie, Music or Gaming
listening modes call on DTS Virtual:X to up-mix stereo and 5.1
sources to more deeply immerse you in the world of your content.
With 11 total speakers, the M-Series Elevate features dedicated
tweeters and woofers for stunning clarity and spaciousness, two
low-profile surround speakers for 360-degree sound, and a newly
designed wireless subwoofer that delivers awesome bass down to 45Hz
without sacrificing aesthetics. HDMI eARC, 4K Dolby Vision
passthrough, Bluetooth, and a dedicated Voice Assistant Input
ensure peak performance from your connected devices. Intentionally
designed to be more subtle so as not to distract from the overall
living room environment, immersive sound never looked better.
As previously announced at CES Unveiled New York in November,
VIZIO SmartCast™, the platform that powers every VIZIO Smart TV
with endless entertainment options for millions of users right out
of the box, was also named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in
the Streaming category. This award recognizes the latest generation
of VIZIO SmartCast, which includes built-in voice capabilities, a
reimagined WatchFree+ streaming service, and new streaming services
and channels to discover. SmartCast provides audiences with home
screen access to must-have apps like Apple TV+, BET+, Disney+, HBO
Max, Hulu, FuboTV, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, discovery+, Prime
Video and YouTube as well as access to hundreds of free live
channels and thousands of free on demand titles with VIZIO’s
WatchFree+. In addition, SmartCast supports streaming from devices
with Apple AirPlay and Chromecast built-in, as well as smart home
connectivity with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Alexa-enabled
devices.
“At VIZIO, we don’t just create innovative products, we also
make them affordable so that people can enjoy more of the
entertainment they love,” said VIZIO CEO William Wang. “These two
new CES Innovation Award-winning products being introduced in 2022
