I chose the Vizio Quantum Pro as the best Vizio TV you can buy, with its 120Hz refresh rate, QLED panel, and support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision HDR for a more immersive experience. It also supports both AirPlay and Chromecast for sharing media from your iOS and Android devices as well as voice controls via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.

If you're considering multiple Vizio TVs for your next home theater upgrade or as a second screen addition to your home, you'll want to consider what you'll use it for the most. For example, if you're a movie buff or TV binge-watcher, you'll want a higher refresh rate as well as Dolby Vision HDR support for enhanced contrast and better detailing.

On the other hand, if you're a console gamer, you'll need a TV with a decent refresh rate as well and a model with VRR support to help keep your game from skipping and screen tearing.

If you're set on a Vizio TV for your next home theater upgrade, here are a few factors to consider before you buy:

• Price: Vizio TVs are more budget-friendly than brands like Samsung or Sony, but that doesn't mean you don't still need to set a budget. This will keep you from overspending and help you get the best value for your money.
• Picture and audio quality: Vizio offers 4K UHD, 1080p full HD, and 720p standard definition models. If you want to prioritize picture quality, you'll want to spring for a midrange full HD or 4K model to take advantage of features like HDR support.
• Smart features: Vizio offers smart TVs with features you've come to expect as standard, like preloaded streaming apps and voice assistant support. However, you'll want to double-check that the model you have your eye on has all the features you want and none you'll never use to get the best value for your budget.
• Connectivity: Just because your smart TV has Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, that doesn't mean you won't also need other ways to connect devices. Make sure the model you choose has enough USB and HDMI ports to connect all of your most-used devices.

While researching every Vizio TV featured on this list, I kept these criteria in mind:

• Price vs Value: Just because a TV is considered budget-friendly--like most Vizio models are--that doesn't mean you have to compromise on features you want. Many Vizio TVs retail for well under $1,000 and still offer things you've come to expect as standard, like preloaded streaming apps and Bluetooth connectivity.
• Smart features: Not all smart TVs are created equal, and spending more on a TV is great if you want to prioritize picture quality, but it may also mean getting a TV weighed down by features you'll never use. Make sure to double-check what apps and external devices like Alexa speakers are supported so you don't end up with a TV that either does too much or not enough.
• Brand comparison:Vizio may not be as popular of a TV brand, but their models hold up decently well when compared to similarly priced TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, and Hisense. You'll still get 4K options, plenty of support for external devices like game consoles and Blu-ray players, and even some premium features like Dolby Atmos support and VRR for gaming.
