![]() Similarly, the OLED55-H1 covers only 97.8% and 98.9% of the Rec. This is substantially worse than we saw from either LG (2.9 for the LG BX OLED (2.9) and 2.0 for the LG CX OLED), the Sony Bravia A8H OLED (1.5), or the TCL (2.2). In Calibrated and Calibrated Dark modes, the OLED55-H1’s Delta-E rating, which relates the difference between colors input and displayed, registered as about 4.3. ![]() Because the HDR-enhanced modes retained the same basic qualities as the originals, the picture in each was just as good with that function on as with it off.įlaws in image quality are minor and, for this price, thoroughly forgivable. One of these will activate automatically when you play content that supports it, and each of the picture modes has a special HDR version that will also engage-you can’t turn HDR or support on or off in any other way. The OLED55-H1 supports three different HDR formats: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. The grayish cast that can so often be visible on TVs when you’re in the wrong position is nowhere to be found here. Even when you’re viewing from extreme off angles, only the slightest distortion of color (and hardly a distracting one) gives away that you’re not viewing the set from straight on. You’ll appreciate the picture’s clarity, too, no matter where you’re sitting. And it brings a realistic edge to the cartoony provenance of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. The aggressive contrast you see with OLED greatly elevates scenes where the relationship between light and dark is crucial, such as the major battles and Rey and Palpatine’s final confrontation in The Rise of Skywalker. This should never be a deal-breaker with an OLED set, but it’s worth keeping in mind. It was particularly evident up against the TCL 6-Series Roku TV (R635), which boosts both that and color via QLED technology, and we saw it in both SDR and HDR mode. To get this dazzling effect, however, you have to sacrifice some brightness compared with non-OLED TVs. On that score, the Vizio OLED55-H1 does not disappoint, and renders detailed spacescapes and even the Netflix splash screen with impressive fidelity. OLED technology gives TVs functionally infinite contrast levels, for the purest blacks you’ll find anywhere. Onward, the palette-bursting Disney-Pixar fantasy-themed animated film from earlier this year, Marvel’s fast-moving action romp Spider-Man: Far From Home, and the comic-book-animated compromise candidate between them, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, fare just as well in these areas. Although there are noticeable differences, for example, between the Bright, Calibrated, and Calibrated Dark modes in the Pasaana festival in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, each is valid and highly attractive, rendering the scene’s juxtaposition of Technicolor-vivid costumes and craggly aliens against the planet’s oppressive desert backdrop in a unique but satisfying way. Vizio OLED TV review: PerformanceĪlmost regardless of picture mode, image quality on the OLED55-H1 looks excellent. (The combination of the thin screen and the heavy stand makes moving the TV too much a dicey proposition, so you’ll want to leave it in one place as much as possible.) A fourth HDMI port, composite video outputs, and a USB 2.0 port are considerably more accessible on the edge of the panel. Though the labels for these all face outward, you plug in cables up into the plastic enclosure, which can be hard to get right especially if you have limited light and room to move. In the first and largest port bay are jacks for Ethernet, antenna, audio out (including optical), and three HDMI ports. With the exception of the power connector, which is located on the left, all of the OLED55-H1’s ports are on the right side of the rear panel. As it’s also a bit tricky to install, using it might lead to some first-time frustration Vizio could have obviated with a simpler design. Even if you approve of its attention-grabbing shape (which I, for the record, do not), it won’t exactly seamlessly blend into most entertainment centers and doesn’t comfortably support the set’s otherwise slim profile. Measuring more than 21 inches in length and extending out more than 4 inches in front of and behind the OLED55-H1 when attached, it’s a surprisingly bulky three-piece unit intended to cradle a soundbar. There’s one thing not to like about the design: the stand. Two cover panels may be removed to reveal the ports (see below) and channels for cable routing. ![]() Aside from some raised horizontal lines and four screw holes for securing a 300mm x 200mm VESA wall mount, a Vizio logo is the only ornamentation visible on the enclosure. ![]()
