Our Verdict
Overall, the Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 is a great TV for almost any usage. It's a great choice for movies or games in a dark room, and HDR content looks great in a dark room. It's also a very good choice for TV shows or sports in a bright room, but the image degrades at an angle, so it isn't a great choice for a wide seating area or for watching the big game with a group of friends.
- Great peak brightness.
- Deep blacks and a great local dimming feature.
- Outstanding wide color gamut.
- Noticeable uniformity issues.
Great TV for watching movies in a dark room. It has excellent contrast and a great local dimming feature, so blacks look black in a dark room. It also has good black uniformity, and it can remove judder from 24p sources or the native apps.
This is a very good TV for watching TV shows in a bright room. It has very good reflection handling and great peak brightness, so glare shouldn't be an issue in most rooms. Unfortunately, lower-resolution cable shows aren't upscaled as well as on other brands, and it has a limited selection of streaming apps, which might disappoint cord-cutters.
This is a good TV for watching sports. It has very good reflection handling, an outstanding response time, and great peak brightness in SDR. Unfortunately, the image degrades at an angle, so it isn't a great choice for watching the big game with a group of friends.
The Vizio P659-G1 is an excellent TV for playing video games. It has outstanding low input lag on the dedicated low-latency HDMI port, and the other ports are almost as good. It also has an outstanding response time, resulting in very little blur behind fast-moving objects. 1080p content from non-4k consoles is upscaled well and looks almost as good as native 4k.
This is a great TV for watching the latest HDR movies. It has outstanding contrast, especially when the local dimming feature is enabled, and it has good black uniformity. It can't get bright enough to fully display the content creator's intent in HDR, but it's still good, and small highlights stand out well. This TV supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, but not HDR10+.
Excellent HDR gaming experience. It has excellent low input lag when gaming at 4k @ 60Hz HDR, and an outstanding response time, so there is very little blur behind fast-moving objects. This TV has an excellent contrast ratio and an outstanding color gamut, and it has good peak brightness in HDR.
Overall, the Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 is an excellent TV for use as a PC monitor. It has excellent low input lag, and it supports most of the common input formats. The response time is excellent, and it has no chance of burn-in. Unfortunately, there are some noticeable uniformity issues, and the image degrades when viewed at an angle, which might be an issue if you're sitting too close.

Popular TV Comparisons
The Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 is a great TV overall and outperforms many pricier models. See our recommendations for the best TVs, the best 4k TVs, the best 4k gaming TVs.
The Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 and the Vizio P Series 2018 are very similar. The 2019 model has a better reflection handling, which is important if you watch TV in a bright room, and a wider color gamut which helps improve the delivery of HDR content. The 2018 has a much better black uniformity, which is important when you watch movies or HDR content in a dark room.
The Vizio P Series Quantum 2018 is better than the Vizio P Series Quantum 2019. The P Series Quantum 2018 is a higher-end model than the 2019 version, despite the similar name. The 2018 model is significantly brighter, has better contrast, and has better reflection handling.
The Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 is a bit better than the Vizio M Series Quantum 2019. The P Series has a better response time, and it can interpolate lower frame rate content as high as 120 fps. The M Series has no motion interpolation feature but has better black uniformity.
The Sony X900F and the Vizio P Series Quantum 2019 are both very similarly performing TVs. The Vizio has a better local dimming feature, but the Sony can get quite a bit brighter with HDR content. The Sony also has much more accurate colors out-of-the-box, does a better job at upscaling SD or HD content, and has better motion handling. On the other hand, the Vizio has a much wider color gamut and much lower input lag.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
