Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 Calibration Settings

We used the following calibration settings to review the 65-inch Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 (M65QXM-K03), and these settings are also valid for the 50-inch (M50QXM-K01) and 75-inch (M75QXM-K03) models.

These settings are meant to provide you with a starting point; they're not meant to be copied 1:1. They provide the most accurate image in a dark room, but you should adjust them to match your personal preferences and viewing conditions.

For SDR content, we recommend choosing the 'Calibrated Dark' Picture Mode, as it's the most accurate one out of the box and allows for the most customization. We recommend leaving the Contrast to '50', Color at '50', Tint at '0', and Sharpness at '0'. We selected the 'Warm' Color Temperature as it's closest to our calibration target of 6500K. If you prefer a warmer or cooler image, you should adjust this setting to your preference.

You should adjust the Backlight to your specific viewing conditions. We set it to '34', as this is the closest setting to our 100 cd/m² calibration target. Changing the backlight does not have any impact on the overall picture quality. The Brightness setting adjusts the image itself, and we don't recommend changing it. The Active Full Array setting control's the local dimming feature. We set it to 'High' to get the maximum effect, but you should adjust it to your personal preferences.

In the Advanced Picture settings page, we left most of the settings disabled for a more accurate image. We disabled the Edge Enhancement and Local Contrast settings, but you should adjust these to your preferences. We set Gamma to '2.2' for a moderately-lit room.

HDR is automatically enabled for the native apps. When you start playing HDR content, the picture settings menu changes to specify the HDR format. Once you start playing HDR content, some of the settings change automatically. We recommend choosing the 'Calibrated Dark' Picture Mode and leaving the other settings to their defaults in HDR. You have to set the HDMI Mode to '2.1' for full bandwidth signals.

Although we disable most motion-enhancing functions for most of our tests, you should adjust these to whatever looks best for you.

The Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 has an optional motion interpolation feature. It can interpolate low frame rate content up to 120fps. To use it, adjust the Judder Reduction and Motion Blur Reduction sliders to your liking. It also has a backlight-strobing feature, which flickers at 60Hz, and you can enable it with Clear Action.

The Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 can remove judder from native apps and most 24p sources. If you're using an external streaming device like an Apple TV, ensure you enable the Match Frame Rate feature on your source. On the TV, ensure you enable Film Mode for a judder-free experience.

From the base SDR and HDR settings, simply enable the Game Low Latency setting from the Gaming Mode menu. Unlike most TVs, you can enable this setting with any picture mode. For signals that require full bandwidth, you have to set the HDMI Mode to '2.1'. You can also enable Game HDR for HDR games.

The Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 supports variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing when gaming. To use VRR, set Game Low Latency and Variable Refresh Rate to 'On'.

Unlike TVs from most other brands, no special settings are required for PC use on the Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022, and you only need to turn on Game Low Latency to get low input lag. To get full bandwidth, you simply need to set the HDMI Mode to '2.1' and enable Full Color 4:4:4.

The Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 can pass uncompressed audio to a compatible receiver through a single HDMI connection. For eARC to work with Dolby Atmos formats, set Digital Audio Out to 'Digital' and set it to 'Auto' for DTS:X formats.

The Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 has a few accessibility settings, like text-to-speech, video description, and Zoom Mode, all of which you can change on the Accessibility page.

You can pair your remote and check its battery life with the Voice Remote page in the System settings.
