Vizio’s TVs: Four Ranges, All 60Hz, Split by Backlight
From vizio.com’s spec sheets: resolution, backlight, dimming zones, HDMI and HDR for 19 sets, and where V-Series and OLED went.

Vizio’s US TV menu splits its sets into four collections, and resolution separates the first three: Quantum HD (1366 × 768), Quantum Full HD (1920 × 1080) and Quantum 4K. The fourth, Mini LED Quantum 4K, swaps the full-array backlight for Mini LED and, from 55 inches up, lists 128 to 320 dimming zones.
All 19 sets in the menu list a 60Hz panel. The names readers search for, V-Series and OLED, are not in the menu, and vizio.com’s OLED address now opens a page for Quantum Pro, a 120Hz range that sits outside the menu with no retailer button.
The four collections side by side
From each product page’s specification table on vizio.com, read 24 October 2026. Zone counts are Vizio’s “Active LED Zones” figures. vizio.com lists no prices.
| Collection | Models | Sizes | Resolution | Backlight | Dimming zones listed | HDR formats | HDMI inputs | Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quantum HD | VHQ24M-1007, VHQ32M-1007 | 24, 32 in | 1366 × 768 | Full array LED | none | no HDR row | 2 × HDMI 1.4 | Wi-Fi 5 |
| Quantum Full HD | VFQ40M-1004, VFQ43M-1004 | 40, 43 in | 1920 × 1080 | Full array LED (40), DLED (43) | none | HDR10+, HDR10, HLG (40); HDR10 (43) | 2 × HDMI 2.1 | Wi-Fi 5 |
| Quantum 4K | VQD43R to VQD85R, VQD100M-0804, M65Q6-L4 | 43–100 in | 3840 × 2160 | Full array LED (DLED on the 75) | none | Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG | 3 × HDMI 2.1 (rows missing on the 43 and 50) | Wi-Fi 6 |
| Mini LED Quantum 4K | VQM43C to VQM85C | 43–85 in | 3840 × 2160 | Mini LED | 128 (55), 180 (65), 260 (75), 320 (85); none on the 43 and 50 | Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG | 3 × HDMI (2.1 on all but the 85, which gives no version) | Wi-Fi 6 |
Every one of the 19 tables lists a 60Hz refresh rate. vizio.com files the 40-inch VFQ40M under its Quantum pages, but its table lists 1920 × 1080, so it sits with the Full HD set here.
What the names and codes mean
Each product page we checked lists “Quantum Color”, which the Mini LED pages describe as quantum dot technology giving “over a billion hues”. “Quantum” is in all four collection names, so it does not separate them; the word after it does. HD, Full HD and 4K are the resolution, and “Mini LED” names the backlight.
Vizio gives no key to its model codes, but 18 of the 19 numbers follow one pattern: VHQ for Quantum HD, VFQ for Full HD, VQD for Quantum 4K and VQM for Mini LED Quantum 4K, followed by the screen size. The exception is M65Q6-L4, below. The 100-inch VQD100M-0804 sits in the Quantum 4K list with a full-array backlight and a 60Hz panel, the same as the smaller sets in it.
Mini LED: zones rise with size
On the Mini LED Quantum 4K sets the zone count scales with the screen: 128 at 55 inches, 180 at 65, 260 at 75 and 320 at 85. The 43- and 50-inch tables list Mini LED as the backlight but have no dimming-zone row, so Vizio does not say how many zones, if any, those two have. The Quantum 4K tables have no zone row at all.
Vizio’s own comparison for the range is narrow: it claims “up to 3x more brightness and 100x more contrast”, measured against its 2025 non-QLED 4K sets of the same size, not against its other Quantum ranges. The 55-, 65- and 75-inch Mini LED pages also list Wide Viewing Angle, which the 43, 50 and 85 do not.
60Hz across the menu
Each of the 19 menu sets lists a 60Hz refresh rate. Most of the 4K and Full HD sheets also print “Dynamic Motion Rate 120”, a separate figure from the refresh rate; our guide to what separates TV price tiers explains why a 60Hz panel can carry a motion number twice that. Several pages, including the 65-inch Mini LED, list “120fps in 1080p” gaming; the 4K tables list HDMI VRR, and most list input lag under 10ms at 60Hz. For a console at 4K and 120 frames a second, none of the 19 sheets lists a panel that refreshes that fast.
Every 4K set, Quantum or Mini LED, lists both Dolby Vision and HDR10+; our HDR formats explainer covers which streaming services use which. The 43-inch Full HD set lists HDR10 alone, and the HD sets list no HDR format.
Quantum Pro, OLED and V-Series
Two Quantum Pro pages are still live, for the 65-inch VQP65C-84 and 75-inch VQP75C-84. Their tables list what the menu sets do not: a 120Hz panel, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Dynamic Motion Rate 240, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, Wi-Fi 6E and an Ethernet port. They are not in the TV menu, and neither page carries a Walmart or Sam’s Club button, so we cannot say whether they are still sold. A 65-inch Quantum page under a different code, M65Q6-L4, is in the menu’s list but also has no retailer button.
The address vizio.com/en/tv/oled opens the Quantum Pro page, and vizio.com/en/tv/v-series redirects to a 4K category page. Neither name appears in the menu’s collections.
A Walmart account, and where the prices are
Each product page we read says: “A Walmart account is required for Smart TV functionality and product updates.” The buy buttons go to Walmart and Sam’s Club, and vizio.com shows no price of its own. We could not read either retailer’s prices on 24 October, so this page has no price table. Vizio calls its viewing-tracking setting Viewing Data; our guide to turning off TV tracking gives the path on VIZIO OS.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Vizio Quantum and Mini LED Quantum?
The backlight. Vizio’s Quantum 4K sets list a full-array LED backlight with no dimming-zone count; the Mini LED Quantum 4K sets list Mini LED, and from 55 inches up a zone count of 128 to 320. Both list 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and a 60Hz panel.
Does Vizio still make OLED TVs?
vizio.com’s TV menu listed no OLED set on 24 October 2026, and the address vizio.com/en/tv/oled opened the Quantum Pro page instead. That is what the site shows; we found no Vizio statement on the OLED range.
What happened to the Vizio V-Series?
It is not in vizio.com’s TV menu. The four collections there are Quantum HD, Quantum Full HD, Quantum 4K and Mini LED Quantum 4K, and the address vizio.com/en/tv/v-series redirects to a 4K category page.
Are Vizio TVs 120Hz?
Not the ones in vizio.com’s TV menu: all 19 list a 60Hz refresh rate, with HDMI VRR on the 4K sets. The figure of 120 on their sheets is “Dynamic Motion Rate”, not refresh. The two Quantum Pro pages, outside the menu, list 120Hz.
Do I need a Walmart account to use a Vizio TV?
For its smart features, yes, on Vizio’s own pages: each product page we read says “A Walmart account is required for Smart TV functionality and product updates.”
How many dimming zones does the Vizio Mini LED TV have?
It depends on the size. Vizio lists 128 Active LED Zones on the 55-inch, 180 on the 65, 260 on the 75 and 320 on the 85. The 43- and 50-inch Mini LED tables list no zone count.
How we researched this
No one at bitcritiq has handled this product. Everything here comes from published sources, listed below.
- What this cannot tell you
- vizio.com shows no prices and sends buyers to Walmart and Sam’s Club. Neither retailer’s pages could be read on 24 October, so this page has no price table. Zone counts are Vizio’s own “Active LED Zones” figures, not measurements. Vizio gives no key to its model codes; the prefix pattern below is read from the 19 model numbers, not from Vizio. The Quantum Pro pages are live but sit outside the TV menu and carry no retailer button, so we cannot say whether those sets are still sold. We have not used any of these TVs; nothing here is a review or a score.
How we chose this, and what we did
- Why this subject
- Search Console shows bitcritiq’s best-TVs page drawing “best tv 2026” searches and its ACR guide drawing “turn off acr on vizio tv”, and Black Friday falls on 27 November. We have laid out Samsung’s, LG’s and TCL’s series; Vizio has renamed its range, so the names readers search for (V-Series, Quantum Pro, OLED) no longer match what vizio.com sells.
- How we looked at it
- Read vizio.com on 24 October 2026: the TV menu (vizio.com/en/shop/tv.html), loaded in full, which lists 19 models and a Collection filter naming four collections; the specification table on each of the 19 product pages; the two Quantum Pro pages (VQP65C-84, VQP75C-84) and the Quantum Pro category page; and the addresses vizio.com/en/tv/oled and vizio.com/en/tv/v-series, to see where they lead. Absences were checked against controls on the same kind of page: the “Local Dimming Zones” row appears on the 55-, 65-, 75- and 85-inch Mini LED tables and is missing from the 43- and 50-inch Mini LED tables and from every Quantum 4K table; the HDMI version appears on every table except the 85-inch Mini LED and the 43- and 50-inch Quantum 4K, which omit the HDMI rows; the HD tables have no HDR row where every other table has one. The Walmart account line was searched for on every page read and found on each.
