Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Can be used as a PC monitor
The MU7000 is suitable as a PC monitor because of its relatively small screen size of 40". It can be used up front thanks to the small minimal viewing distance, and it has full 4:4:4 color support that ensures text or shapes with clear, hard edges are not blurry.
Pro Decent picture quality
The MU7000 looks good with really deep black levels and sufficient peak brightness levels for most content.
Dark scenes look amazing thanks to the panel’s contrast ratio of roughly 6300:1, which means it’s capable of producing blacks that are 6300 times darker than the brightest white pixel the screen can produce.
It gets bright enough for SDR content with a peak brightness level of ~350 nits, which is sufficient for making colors pop.
The best viewing experience will be in a dark environment where the panel won’t have to compete with light as the MU7000’s screen can’t get bright enough to perform as well in bright environments.
Pro Great well-rounded option
The MU7000 is a great well-rounded option for watching movies, gaming, and sports. Its picture quality is decent, it has low input lag and low motion blur, and the screen uniformity is great. It can also be used as a PC monitor.
Pro Ideal for bright rooms
The VIZIO P-Series Quantum is an excellent option for bright rooms with lots of windows thanks to its ability to fight reflections and heavy glare. The TV's glossy, anti-reflective screen finish dims the incoming light and eliminates reflections, while the TV's enormous peak brightness deals with glare effectively.
Pro Exceptional picture quality
The VIZIO P-Series Quantum has the picture quality that is significantly better than what the other TVs in its price range offer. It can display deep and immersive blacks as well as some vivid and eye-catching colors no matter if the TV is placed in a bright or a dark environment.
Cons
Con Not suitable for group watching
The MU7000 has a narrow viewing angle that makes it unsuitable for group watching.
Audience sitting away from the center of the screen will not experience the same picture as those sitting in the center, because the picture quality starts to deteriorate significantly when viewing from just ≥20° away from the screen's center.
Con Might require some color calibration out of the box
The MU7000's colors might look off to some viewers out of the box due to its high white balance. Switching to the "Movie" option in "Picture Mode" should be enough to remedy this for most, but only calibration can fix this for some viewers.
Con HDR performance is lacking
The main drawback of the MU7000 is its HDR performance.
While it has a wide color gamut that allows it to reproduce the wide range of colors necessary for true HDR playback, it can’t get bright enough to take advantage of it. At only ~300 nits of brightness, it's pretty hard for HDR pictures to pop.
It also doesn’t have local dimming, so its black levels can’t be improved further for better HDR performance.
Con Bad for HDR gaming
The HDR gaming doesn't feel responsive on the P-Series Quantum because its fast 'gaming' HDMI port cannot process the HDR signal, and as a result, you'll need to use a slower HDMI port whose input lag measures at around 27 milliseconds.
