Brilliant Picture Quality

The VIZIO D-Series collection gives consumers brilliant picture quality thanks to Full-Array LED backlighting technology on most models. Clear Action? 240 offers enhanced motion clarity with a 120Hz effective refresh rate achieved with backlight scanning and powerful image processing, so sports and fast-action scenes have stunningly sharp detail.

Full-Array LED backlighting allows for advanced control of LEDs resulting in superior light uniformity and picture performance compared to edge-lit TVs. In addition, up to 16 Active LED Zones dynamically adjust to match the light and dark portions of on-screen content, culminating in deeper black levels and added contrast.

Select large-size models from 43″ to 70″ class screen sizes in the all-new D-Series line-up deliver 4K Ultra HD resolution with over 8.3 million pixels, bringing more detail to every image and displaying four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD. In addition, consumers with D-Series Ultra HD Smart TVs will access Ultra HD apps and a growing range of Ultra HD shows and movies.

The D-Series Ultra HD TV models are equipped with an ultra-fast 802.11ac dual-band WiFi and VIZIO’s V6 six-core processor, allowing for a fast, easy-to-use streaming experience. Also, access the latest app options2, including Ultra HD content from Netflix, VUDU, UltraFlix, and Toon Goggles 3.

Furthermore, when viewing Full HD or lower resolution content, users will still enjoy enhanced picture quality with VIZIO’s powerful Spatial Scaling Engine. Spatial Scaling beautifully transforms 720p or 1080p HD content to create a beautifully upscaled Ultra HD resolution image with better accuracy and clarity to provide an all-around more immersive viewing experience4.
