The Vizio OLED 2020’s incredible contrast ratio, great viewing angles, and outstanding motion handling make it a great gaming TV. Unfortunately, it’s held back by a risk of burn-in, low peak brightness, and a non-functioning VRR. If you’re interested in a budget-level TV that also has an excellent contrast ratio, consider the Vizio P Series Quantum X.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Vizio OLED 2020 is the brand’s high-end OLED TV released in 2020. Thanks to its excellent contrast ratio, it promises to deliver deeper blacks over traditional OLED TVs and other high-end models, which is great for HDR movie watching both in the dark and in a well-lit room.

In addition, the Vizio OLED 2020 boasts a 4k display that upscales well, perfect black uniformity, and a comprehensive and accurate color gamut.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Vizio OLED 2020 has great contrast ratio, picture quality, color gamut, and motion handling, making it a great choice for gaming in a dark room or playing a dark survival horror game.

Just be aware of the risk of burn-in if you leave the game paused for too long, as well as the low peak brightness and non-functioning VRR. If you’re looking for a quick viewing experience, consider the Vizio M7 Series Quantum 2020, which has wide viewing angles.
