2021 Vizio TVs Optimized for Gaming
Vizio just announced a partnership with Square Enix & Crystal Dynamics as the official HDTV and sound bar partner for the highly anticipated Marvel’s Avengers video game set to launch on September 4, 2020. All new 2020-2021 Vizio 4K TVs are optimized for gaming, even Vizio’s lowest priced V Series. Of course, the step-up models will handle gaming even better.
Vizio V-Series™ 4K TVs include the new V-Gaming Engine™, which utilizes Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Auto Game Mode to optimize performance upon identifying the game signal. Step-up models like the New M-Series™, P-Series® Quantum, P-Series Quantum X, and all new OLED include a ProGaming Engine, which offers support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and support for 4K at 120fps. They also produce faster response times and our lowest input lag ever. Utilizing 64-bit image processing and offering HDMI 2.1 connectivity along with eARC passthrough, utilizing Vizio’s IQ Ultra™ and IQ Active™ processors adjust contrast at the level of individual pixels, giving every image more depth and dimension. The 1GHz CPU smooths contours and gradients in real time for more natural-looking graphics while accurately upscaling HD content to 4K resolution.

Vizio Sound Bars
In addition to their new TVs, Vizio’s 2021 sound bars create an immersive sound experience. The revolutionary Elevate Sound Bar (coming Holiday 2020) literally takes audio to new heights with DTS:X and rotating speakers that blast sound overhead. Vizio’s other sound bars also produce powerfully dynamic and accurate sound so players can hear every sound and react quicker as they are immersed further into their gameplay.
About the New Marvel’s Avengers Game
Marvel’s Avengers is an epic third-person action-adventure game combining a rich single-player campaign with expansive online co-op action. Players must reassemble, rebuild, and customize their heroes’ roster to play an original Avengers single-player campaign, then enter the Avengers Initiative to battle solo or online alongside friends and continue the expanding story around the globe. They can also customize Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and master their unique powers to defend the world from escalating threats for years to come.
“We want Marvel’s Avengers to be a completely immersive gaming experience and VIZIO’s high performance takes everything to an entirely different level. The all-new VIZIO ProGaming Engine™ in their TVs will make you feel like you’re a Super Hero.”
