- Owner's manual
A: I personally called Vizio on this model and got some very good info on this model that is not listed in description section. First off this is a new 2021 model. Next it has Wifi built in. Finally compared to its higher end brothers the M8 and P series the local dimming zones are all different. This model has only 30 while the M8 has 90 and the P has 200. I personally bought this one only because my portal size is max of 70" or I would have gone for the P series of 75"
Q: Will this tv support 60fps@4k for gaming?
A: If you just want 60 FPS, then virtually any 4k TV will work, including cheaper models like the Vizio V Series. You don't need HDMI 2.1 for that, only HDMI 2.0 which is standard on all modern TV's. HDMI 2.1 has enough bandwidth for 4k@120hz. Also, while this does have HDMI 2.1 ports, it's still a 60hz panel so you can't take advantage of 4k@120. You can still use VRR and such though. But if 120hz is what you're really after, then you're gonna have to go for a higher end TV that has both a 120hz panel and HDMI 2.1 like the Vizio PQ/PQX Series, Sony X900H, etc. LG's NanoCell 85 series is by far the cheapest TV in that category.
Q: Does it support Bluetooth speakers/headsets?
A: I do not think so. Not mentioned as having blue tooth in the manual.
Q: How many dimming zones does this model have?
A: Unfortunately, I think that is a general "M Series" answer for most models... But this model appears to not have that feature. As you can see in the "Tech Specs" profile on that website, there is no dimming zones listed. And you'd think it may just be an oversight, but when you compare it to other more expensive M Series models, they do show local dimming zones. Thanks for posting the website though! That was very helpful.
A: Hello Brian, while the two models are similar in many ways, a major difference between the two models is that the model M706x-H3 has the Quantum Color technology where as the V705-H13 does not.
Q: Can I load the Sling Tv APP on this TV?
A: it is not an app on the TV, but it does have cast abilities, so you can cast from an IOS or android device.. or get an external Roku.
Q: How wide entertainment center needed to set on
A: Hello, The distance between the outer edges of the stands is 54.87" so as long as the entertainment stand is wider than that it will work.
A: Rtings has a pretty comprehensive breakdown of dozens of TVs and made a guide for the P-Series that can be used as a loose guideline for decent baseline settings. However since the TV’s are not identical there will be some portions in their video that aren’t applicable. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/m-series-quantum-2019/settings
