That's not quite as good as the TCL 43S517 Roku TV (1.7), but it's better than the LG UK6300 (3.6) and miles ahead of other sets that had Delta-E ratings of 3 or higher, indicating wider deviation from the colors that should be displayed on the TV. When measured with our X-Rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer and SpectraCal's CalMAN Ultimate professional calibration software, the V505-G9 had a Delta-E rating of 2.2 (using the TV's calibrated mode). Our lab testing showed that the LCD panel produced 96.7 percent of the Rec 709 color space, which falls short of the 100 percent or better we'd like to see – the TCL 43S517 Roku TV and the LG UK6300 43-Inch 4K TV both did better at 99.8 percent – but it is an improvement over other inexpensive sets, like the Polaroid 55-inch 55T7U (94.8 percent).Ĭolor accuracy is another aspect to picture quality, and one where the Vizio did pretty well.

A built-in Ethernet port provides wired networking connection, but the set also has built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
