VIZIO M55Q6 Ultra HD TV Preview

See the complete review for the VIZIO M55Q6 Ultra HD TV.

It’s also incredibly accurate out of the box. And it does all this at the astounding price of just $580.

As much as I enjoy checking out premium displays, I love finding value gems like the VIZIO M55Q6. I just received one for review and after just a few hours, I’m very impressed. It’s a 55-inch VA panel with quantum dot color, HDR, a variable refresh rate for gaming, and VIZIO’s excellent SmartCast streaming interface.

Setting it up only required I bolt on the two stand legs. Initial power-on had me connect to Wi-Fi and that was it. SmartCast includes apps for every major internet video service. I was watching Netflix within a few minutes. I noticed right away how good the picture looked in the M55’s Calibrated picture mode. A few quick measurements told me I could skip the calibration; it was nearly perfect right out of the box. But I’ll be calibrating the TV anyway because that’s how I roll.

With support for every HDR format, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, the M55Q6 can play all the latest content from Ultra HD Blu-ray and streaming services. Shows like Netflix’s Formula One Drive to Survive look spectacular in Dolby Vision. The audio from the TV’s built-in speakers isn’t too bad either with some cool effects provided by DTS Neural:X processing.

The VIZIO M55Q6 is already impressing me on day one. I can’t wait to get into the detailed tests and some movie watching. Check out my full review appearing here soon.
