California-based TV maker, VIZIO, has announced its 2020 SmartCast TV lineup at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The company says it is debuting more Quantum Color models while also unveiling its first OLED TV in 2020, all using its SmartCast 4.0 software and also its new Voice Remote.
“Our mission has always been to make cutting-edge picture quality and a best-in-class smart TV user experience attainable for everyone,” said Bill Baxter, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO, in a press release. “We’re excited with the performance improvements that our new IQ video processors and ProGaming Engine bring to our 2020 lineup, especially when combined with VIZIO TVs that offer the highest performance Quantum Color and peak brightness in the industry. Plus, utilizing the new processing power to optimize the strengths of OLED picture quality proves that VIZIO’s leadership in the TV industry has never been stronger.”
VIZIO’s 2020 TV lineup will be powered by a new 64-bit image processor, 3D color engine and 1GHz CPU. A new VIZIO ProGaming Engine will support Variable Refresh Rates (VRR), AMD FreeSync, and resolutions up to 4K at 120Hz, bringing high gaming performance for Xbox One X and PlayStation 4.
All 2020 VIZIO SmartCast televisions will support Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and now HDR10+, along with UHD-Alliance Filmmaker Mode in 2020 UHD models.
VIZIO plans to also unveil new 55 and 65-inch OLED TVs for the first time, powered by the company’s IQ Ultra processor for “unparalleled color, contrast, and clarity,” to go with its borderless 4mm thin display. The panel within VIZIO’s OLED TV panels will most likely be made by LG, similar to OLED panels found in Sony OLED televisions.
Also new for 2020 will be the VIZIO Elevate Sound Bar, a 5.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio solution “with revolutionary rotating front height speakers.”
