Bezel-Less Design, VIZIO SmartCast with Voice-Control Support From Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

VIZIO today released their all-new 2018 P-Series 4K HDR Smart TV collection in 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch screen sizes. The latest P-Series models sit just one step below their top-of-the-line Quantum Dot model, yet are still are value packed. They feature a bezel-less industrial design, a 4K HDR picture quality with Dolby Vision HD enhancements and offer up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness and over one billion colors thanks to Ultra Color Spectrum. Smart TV capabilities include SmartCast OS for streaming and smart home controls with the integration of voice-control support for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Expansive colors, superior HDR performance and pristine 4K detail allow the 2018 P-Series 4K HDR Smart TVs to deliver a jaw-dropping experience in every frame. Dolby Vision HDR enhances images by elevating color, detail and depth for an extraordinary level of realism. VIZIO’s high-performance Active Full Array Pro backlight combines a powerful full array backlight with up to 120 local dimming zones, resulting in added vibrancy and incredibly deep black levels. Water will shimmer and fire will flicker with more luminance than ever before thanks to UltraBright 1000 which features up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness to deliver intensely realistic on-screen imagery. Equipped with Ultra Color Spectrum technology, the P-Series utilizes more than one billion colors in each scene to impeccably match every hue and tone with incredible accuracy. Clear Action 720 with superior motion clarity ensures fast-action content looks both smooth and razor-sharp thanks to powerful image processing and a 240Hz effective refresh rate achieved with backlight scanning.

VIZIO has dropped prices over their 2017 P-Series, but oddly went with Clear Action 720 instead of Clear Action 960 on last year’s models. The other main difference appears to be the bezel-less design for 2018.

“Picture quality technologies like Ultra Color Spectrum, Dolby Vision HDR and UltraBright 1000 enable the P-Series to take 4K HDR performance to the next level,” said Bill Baxter, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. “Incredibly realistic on-screen imagery is complemented by cutting-edge smart TV features to round out the collection’s entertainment experience.
