Walmart has a killer deal on 65-inch Vizio P-Series Quantum 4K HDR smart TVs

VIZIO P-Series Quantum PQ65-F1 — Dan Baker/Digital Trends

If you’ve been on the hunt for an awesome new TV to watch Game of Thrones on, Vizio has a pretty killer offer on the 65-inch version of its top-of-the-line P-Series Quantum (PQ65-F1) model.

With discounts between $200 and $400 (depending on the retailer you purchase it through), you can save big on this fantastic TV, which we called the best buy of the year in our recent review.

You can get this flagship Vizio model for $1,600 at Walmart, Best Buy, or Target, and $1,400 at Costco and Sam’s Club. The deal runs from now until April 15.

Why are we such big fans of this Vizio model? Well, for starters, it offers many of the same features at Samsung and LG models that cost multiples the price, even at the standard $1,750 cost from the manufacturer.

With an ultra-thin bezel and die-cast aluminum legs, there are very few TVs that offer similar fit and finish for this amount of money. The same is also true of image quality. Full array local dimming means that you’ll enjoy extremely deep blacks and excellent contrast throughout the image, and quantum dot technology means you’re always getting hyper-accurate color.

Speaking of colors, it supports HDR 10, Dolby Vision, and HLG content, which means that you will get a vibrant picture when watching content from HD Blu-ray and compatible streaming services.

Using the TV is also super simple. It comes with Vizio’s SmartCast system onboard, offering viewers built-in Google Chromecast, as well as access to Google and Amazon Alexa voice assistants. Apple users will be happy to note that Siri is supposed to make her way to the TV before the end of the year. This support means that you can use a compatible smart speaker to change channels, adjust volume, change inputs, and even turn the TV on and off.

We were particularly impressed with the screen uniformity that we saw on the review unit we spent time with, which showed no signs of a dirty screen effect, and the local dimming offering a dynamic and high-contrast image.

If now isn’t the time you’re buying, be sure to check back for our best TV deals, as we’re always scouring the internet to save you a buck.

Vizio has new smart TVs and soundbars for 2023, but the best may be yet to come

Vizio 2023 M-series TV hanging on a wall.

Vizio has announced its 2023 collection of new M-, V-, and D-Series smart TVs and M-Series soundbars, all with trickle-down features from the company's flagship products -- but totally absent were any new P-Series products.

Judging from what the company provided, it's continuing its aggressive pricing strategy while adding some small but valuable improvements, like better Wi-Fi, Bluetooth integration, and expanded variable refresh rate (VRR) support. That's great to see, and anyone considering a TV or soundbar purchase in the next few months now has more options, but it left us wondering, when will Vizio share its enhancements for its top-of-the-line P-Series Quantum and Quantum X TVs?

LG’s latest 4K UST projector only needs 2.2 inches of wall clearance

lg cinebeam hu915qe ultra short throw 4k laser projector 01

LG's new flagship ultra-short-throw (UST) 4K laser projector, the CineBeam HU915QE, sets some impressive new benchmarks, with 3,700 lumens of claimed brightness, and the ability to be placed as close as 2.2 inches away from a wall. At that distance, it can create a 90-inch image, but if you move it just a little farther away, to a distance of 7.2 inches, that image size can increase to a massive 120 inches. We're still waiting to hear how much LG wants for the HU915QE, but the company says it will be available to order before the end of June 2022.

UST projectors are the perfect solution for those who crave super-large image sizes for their movies, sports, and games, and who don't want to contend with a projector in the middle of their room or suspended from their ceiling. LG is no stranger to laser-driven UST projectors and has produced several models over the past few years. The HU915QE is the second and most advanced LG UST projector to be announced in 2022 -- it follows the the previously released CineBeam HU715Q, which only delivers 2,500 lumens.

Furrion’s 4K HDR outdoor TVs can take the heat

furrion outdoor 4k hdr full sun partial shade tvs aurora tv featured

If you're fortunate enough to live someplace where the great outdoors forms part of your living space, you might want to equip your patio with a TV. But if you do, it will need to withstand sun, rain, or anything else that mother nature can throw at it. Furrion's new Aurora line of 4K HDR outdoor TVs are designed to do just that, and come in three models for full sun, full shade, or anything in between, with prices starting at $1,400. The partial sun and full shade models are available now, with the full sun models coming in May, according to the company.

All three Furrion Aurora models (Full Sun, Partial Sun, Full Shade) are 4K HDR LED TVs that have been weatherproofed to an IP54 rating, which means they can withstand some dust and grit, and they won't object to rain or being hit with a sprinkler -- just don't dunk them in the pool. Furrion says this protection is also sufficient for all-weather use, including snow. The Full Sun and Partial Sun models are also designed to be impact and scratch-resistant, given that they're more likely to be placed where they could be exposed to an errant baseball, frisbee, or pool noodle.
