VizioвЂ™s SmartCast smart TV platform drives the P65Q9, just like it does the companyвЂ™s other TVs. SmartCast: Stream From Any Phone or Computer

A volume rocker, mute button, and microphone button for using the TVвЂ™s voice features (by speaking into the pinhole microphone near the top of the remote) sit below the pad. Dedicated service buttons for Amazon Prime Video, Crackle, Disney+, Netflix, Peacock, and Tubi sit above the pad, along with a button for VizioвЂ™s own Pluto TV-powered Watch Free+ service, and menu, power, and input buttons. The included remote is a simple, slim black plastic wand with a large, circular navigation pad near the center. You wonвЂ™t find any analog video inputs on the TV, or a USB 3.0 port. They include four HDMI ports (one eARC and two others that supports 4K120), a USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio output, an optical audio output, and an antenna/cable connection. The power connector is near the left side of the back of the TV, facing down, while all other connections can be found near the right side, facing right. The TV sits on two long, flat metal legs that match the color of the bottom bezel. The sides and top of the screen are framed by a thin plastic band that extends back over the chassis of the TV, and the bottom edge features a half-inch brushed gunmetal strip with a silver Vizio logo in the lower right corner. The P65Q9 looks simple and stylish, like the Vizio M-Series. It lags behind the U8G in brightness, and its SDR colors are a bit off out of the box, but itвЂ™s still a very appealing choice. The 65-inch Vizio P65Q9-J01 we tested is available for $1,299.99, and offers excellent HDR color performance, strong contrast, plenty of gaming features, and the streaming benefits of both Apple AirPlay and Google Cast. The companyвЂ™s recent models have been a bit more expensive than comparable TVs from Hisense and TCL, but now that supply chain issues have forced the latter two to bump up their prices, all three companies are once again on an even playing field, and VizioвЂ™s P-series of LED TVs competes directly with the Hisense U8G and TCL 4K 6-Series lines. Vizio has proven that itвЂ™s quite capable of making quality, reasonably priced TVs, but has drifted away from its initial reputation as a strictly low-cost brand.
