The Matrix Screensaver: Vizio's V-Series Takes the Lead

When it comes to screensavers, there are few things more mesmerizing than a good old-fashioned Matrix screensaver. But when you're in the market for a new TV, finding one that can deliver accurate picture quality and a range of useful features without breaking the bank can be a challenge.

Fortunately, we've done the legwork for you. In our latest roundup of 2022 TVs, we pitted four different models against each other to see which one came out on top. And in the end, it was Vizio's V-Series that emerged as the clear leader.

During our side-by-side comparisons, the Vizio offered the most balanced and accurate picture quality, thanks in part to its support for Dolby Vision and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. But what really sets it apart is its variable refresh rate, which can help to create a smoother gaming experience.

We tested the TV with episodes of The Crown on Netflix, and the results were impressive. Shadows looked more realistic than they did on many other TVs we tested, and colors appeared more accurate and levels looked darker – giving the V-Series slightly more contrast than its competitors.

Specifications for other sizes in the Vizio V-Series are generally identical, and we expect similar image quality from every size. The TVs come in a range of sizes, usually between 43 and 75 inches, although we focused on 50-inch models for this roundup because they're often a good fit for most living spaces.

Of course, when it comes to choosing the right TV for your needs, there are plenty of factors to consider – including brightness, color quality, HDR format, extra features (like support for gaming), and the usefulness of the smart platform. But based on our testing, we're confident that Vizio's V-Series is a great choice for anyone in the market for a new TV.

So why not give it a try? You can't go wrong with the Matrix screensaver as your guide.
