VIZIO PQ65-F1 65” Ultra HD Television Preview

Hard on the heels of my recently-posted review of VIZIO’s P65-F1 Ultra HD TV is their top-line model, the PQ65-F1 Quantum.

In fact, the same truck that picked up the P65 also dropped off the PQ65. What’s the difference? Quite a bit I’d say.

For starters, the Quantum features a 192-zone full array local dimming LED backlight with a quantum dot film. It delivers an honest 2000 nits (yes, I’ve already checked) and covers nearly 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. That should make for some killer HDR and beautifully saturated color. It supports HDR10, Hybrid Log Gamma, and Dolby Vision content. Streaming fans will enjoy the latest version of VIZIO’s SmartCast interface along with built-in ChromeCast and integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Don’t want to use the bundled remote? Just download the SmartCast app and use your phone’s touchscreen.

The PQ65-F1 asks for a $1000 premium over the P65-F1. While that is a lot of money, the Quantum costs just $2200. Considering the performance delivered here, it’s a steal. I spent much more than that on a Pioneer Elite plasma nearly 10 years ago. Displays have gone through some major evolution since the dawn of 1080p back in 2006. This latest offering from VIZIO looks to be one of the best televisions I’ve ever reviewed. Watch this space for my full test results and viewing impressions coming soon!

Chris Eberle

Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida. As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.
