TV and Sound Bar manufacturer VIZIO has just been revealed to be the official HDTV and Sound Bar company for Square Enix’s upcoming Marvel’s Avengers game! VIZIO’s 2021 line-up of 4K TVs (available now) have been built from the ground up to put gamers first with a slew of advanced features including the new 1 GHz IQ Active/IQ Ultra processors and ProGaming Engine.
“Today’s gamers want to enhance their playing experience. When they combine a NEW VIZIO 4K TV and NEW 5.1 sound bar they increase their ability to WIN and raise their gaming position. We have created an entirely new lineup of 4K TVs with a dedicated gaming engine & immersive 5.1 sound bars that offer a best-in-class gaming experience. We’re excited to be the official HDTV and Sound Bar partner for the new Marvel’s Avengers game and to give gamers every advantage as they play the highly anticipated game upon its release.”
One of the biggest drags about playing games on an HDTV over the last few years has been input latency. TVs do a ton of processing to their images to give the best picture possible but this has always come at the expense of games. Optional game modes have been available for some time now but I am honestly surprised by how few people actually utilize them. With Vizio’s new range of HDTV’s, the entire process will be streamlined and automatic. If the TV detects the signal from and Xbox or PlayStation game mode will automatically be engaged resulting in a response time of 8ms down to 1ms depending on the model you choose.
Regardless of which model you choose from the 2021 line-up, you will be treated to next-level features like HDMI 2.1, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support (peak brightness up to 3000 nits). Dolby Atmos is also supported to deliver an immersive audio experience. Models from the M-Series up to VIZIO’s premium OLED displays feature Variable Refresh Rates and support Frame Rates up to 120 FPS for smoother on selected models (see the handy chart below)! If you plan to upgrade to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X know these models will have you covered on all next-gen features. When paired with one of VIZIO’s new Elevate Sound Bars, which feature 4 rotating elevation speakers, you are in for an unrivaled gaming experience for the price!
I am loving the attention to gaming Vizio is placing in their new 2021 range of 4K displays! Despite 95% of my gaming being on a monitor, I will always believe the proper place to play is in the living room on a huge high-quality display. With VIZIO’s new line this can be done with next-gen security for as low as $399 for a 50” set which is the same price I paid in 2012 for my ancient 1080P 43” 3D capable TV. Marvel’s Avengers is set to release on September 4 with next-gen versions in the works. Be sure to check out our early impressions of the game as it is stunning. Now, treat yourself to the ultimate superhero experience with an upgrade to the 2021 line-up of Vizio HDTV’s and Sound Bars!
