Vizio: We've made the best TV in the world

2014-01-06
hi there david caps maya from CNET and behind me is the largest TV I've seen at the show and probably the largest TV at the show this is the 120 inch vizio rs120 vizio is calling it a reference series their further saying it's the best TV ever made the specs back up that claim pretty strongly it's a full array LED local dimming television and before you dismiss it because it's not OLED or plasma or something like that that has a better reputation know that some of the best performing LED TVs that use local dimming technology I've been doing the best TVs we have ever seen this TV has 384 zones a local dimming that allows the blacks to get really deep and the whites to get really bright Vizio is saying there's 800 nits of brightness which is extremely bright brighter than any TV I've seen cited it also uses Dolby's HDR algorithm which we've seen demonstrated in the past is the first TV we know about to use that technology that extends the dynamic range intelligently instead of just along a linear path to make those brights look really natural and the darks again look extremely black for a picture that at least from what I've seen looks extremely good this TV also has the widest color range I've seen cited anywhere it's really close to the REC 2020 standard which is supposedly going to be used for next generation 4k content Vizio claims of TV has an 1800 clear action rate which can translate to very little blurring the set also will accept a 48 frame per second signal which is similar to what was used on the HDR theatrical versions of The Hobbit Vizio uses a new technology to actually match the cadence of 24 frame and even 48 frame content to more faithfully reproduce it there's also for all your gamers out there 120 frames per second input capability as well as a really low latency so this TV is one of the best-looking gaming TVs at least on paper first of all that extra picture technology Vizio does throw in some sound extras to the bottom of the TV here is actually a sound bar there's also a separate subwoofer and Wireless rear speakers included so all told it should have some of the best sound we've ever seen on a TV of course if you can afford this model you're probably gonna opt for the external sound system of your own choice the set also has a machine metal bass and really slick understated styling all told the specs of this TV are some of the best I've ever seen anywhere and I'm really excited to check out what Vizio can do the RS reference series is available in 110 and a more manageable 65 inch size Vizio has yet to announce pricing although it's going to be stratospheric and they do say they'll be shipping this year I'm David Katz Meyer from CNET with what Vizio claims is the best TV ever made the RS one point
