Our Verdict
Vizio V5 Series 2021
Vizio V Series 2022
The Vizio V Series 2022 is the newer version of the Vizio V5 Series 2021. Both TVs are very similar overall, with the main difference being that the 2022 model has VRR support for gaming, which the 2021 model doesn't have. The 2022 model improves in a few areas, like its peak brightness and response time, while the 2021 model has better upscaling, so choosing one over the other depends on which aspects are important to you.
