Vizio TVs get bigger and better in 2020, with its first OLED TV, an 85-incher, and new procesors

Its SmartCast user interface also gets a major update, and new soundbars are here, too.

Vizio today at CES in Las Vegas has unveiled a massive upgrade to its television lineup for 2020. New sets. Bigger sets than it's done before. Its first OLED set. Sets with newer, faster processing across the board.

And that's just for starters.

Here's how to look at things: Vizio is still going with its "V-Series," "M-Series," and "P-Series" televisions, with the former focused more on affordability, and the latter on performance. In other words, V is good. M is better, and P is best. The M- and P-Series sets also get the "Quantum" designation because they employ Quantum Dot technology, which is better than not having it.

And to separate things out a little further, we now have an array of P-Series Quantum X televisions, in 65-, 75- and — in a first for Vizio — 85-inch flavors.

And to separate things out even further, Vizio also is rolling out its first OLED televisions — basically the gold standard in displays. If you can afford OLED, you want OLED, because unlike other display technologies OLED can turn off each individual pixel (instead of just dimming things in regions), making blacks truly blacks and allowing colors to pop that much more. You'll be able to get them in either 55 or 65 inches when they're available.

Also new is a revamped Vizio IQ Ultra processing system, which allows for better performance across the board — something Vizio TVs have needed an upgrade in for quite some time. The M- and P-Series TVs also get a new "ProGaming Engine" that specificially beefs things up for Xbox One X and PlayStation 4, with variable refresh rates, AMD FreeSync, and 4K resolution at up to 120Hz.

Also new across the board is HDMI 2.1. The entire lineup also retains support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision, as well as Google Assistant and Chromecast, and Apple's Homekit and AirPlay standards.

Toss in massive updates to the Vizio SmartCast user interface and new audio equipment, and 2020 is off to a pretty darn good start for Vizio.

What's missing? Pricing and availability. So drool for now, and start saving some pennies.

Vizio OLED 2020

We don't yet have much imformation on the Vizio OLED TVs. We do know that they'll support 4K resolution, of course, and the'll come in two sizes — 55 inches and 65 inches. They'll also have the top-end IQ Ultra processor, which should surprise no one, and the frames will have a thin 4mm bezel.

For now, what you see here is what we know.

Vizio P-Series Quantom 2020

This is where the Vizio lineup generally goes from "Good, but still affordable" to "OK, I've got some money to spend. Whatcha got?"

The P9 comes in 65- and 75-inch flavors and up to 240 local dimming zones. (The larger model gets more.) It's also 50 percent brighter than the M-Series sets.

The variable-rate refresh specs also get a bump to a max of 120Hz, double that of the M-Series.

Otherwise, you're still looking at 4K resolution and Dolby Vision and HDR and all that, plus the ProGaming Engine and IQ Ultra processor.

Vizio P-Series Quantum X 2020

Want to go one better? That's where the new Quantum X comes in for 2020. First is that it's Vizio's first TV to reach 85 inches. And with that additional size you can get as many as 792 local dimming zones, and potential brightness is more than double that of the non-X P-Series sets.

This is, simply, the new best of Vizio's best.

Vizio M-Series Quantum 2020

This is the bread and butter of the Vizio line. It's made up of two models, the M7 and M8. The former comes in sizes of 50, 55 and 65 inches. The LED panel has up to 30 local dimming zones. For that reason alone we'd recommend looking at the M8 model first — it has 90 local dimming zones. The M8, which comes in 55- and 65-inch sizes, also is brighter than the M7.

The M-Series also is the lowest in the Vizio lineup to feature the new ProGaming Engine for improved performance with the Xbox One X and PlayStation 4.

Vizio V-Series 2020

This year's contingent comes in a bevy of sizes, from 40 inches on the small end to 70 on the high end. As these are the more economical models, you'll lose out on local dimming and instead get full array dimming. Brightness tops out at a mere 250 nits for the entire screen. Refresh comes in at 120Hz.

While the V-Series enjoys the new IQ Active processing as the M-Series, it's a step below the IQ Ultra you'll get on the P-Series sets. Same goes fo the V-Gaming Engine.

Support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG is standard, as is 4K resolution and HDMI 2.1.
