It lacks a setting to engage motion estimation and motion compensation (also known as MEMC or the Soap Opera Effect) as found on the more expensive Vizio P- and PX-Series, as well as TCL's 6 series. The M-Series has a 60Hz refresh rate panel - Vizio's '120 Dynamic Motion Rate' is bunk. Quantum dots allow the TV to achieve better HDR color, which was borne out in my measurements. The rest of the M-Series specifications are the same on all models. I didn't review the M8 but based on these specs I'm guessing it performs a bit better than the M7, but not as good as something like the TCL 6-Series. The M8 is also brighter than the M7, at 800 and 600 nits respectively. More zones doesn't necessarily mean better picture quality, but it usually helps. At 55 pounds, it’s not what I’d call “heavy,” but it’s so big that it’s cumbersome.The number of dimmable zones is an important specification because it controls how precise the dimming can be. It showed up to my house in a small trailer, and it didn’t fit on the wall in the spot where I planned to put it in my office, which I only truly realized after my wife and I wrestled with it for a good 20 minutes to try to mount it. Left: MQ7 Right: PQX Cameron Summerson / Review Geekīecause this is a 70-inch model, it’s a big ol’ honker of a TV. For a touch over a grand, that’s what I would expect to see, and it delivered.

And despite being lower-end than the two TVs I had preceding this one, it doesn’t feel any less well made. So, I already knew what to expect going in-a well-made, robust TV. My last two TVs were Vizio P Series and P Series Quantum X, respectively. This isn’t my first rodeo with a Vizio TV.
