Vizio’s discounted Mini LED TV lets you skip the sign-ups and smarts

Vizio 折扣款 Mini LED 电视让你免去注册和智能功能的烦恼

If you prefer a dedicated streaming device or console, you can save some cash on an otherwise-modern television.

如果你更喜欢使用专门的流媒体设备或游戏主机，那么这款配置现代的电视可以帮你省下一笔钱。

Modern smart TVs let you skip the streaming device, which is convenient, but they also come with their own issues, including privacy concerns and frequent updates. The Vizio Mini LED Quantum TV lets you cut out the rigamarole and just get straight to the HDMI ports. And right now, it’s discounted at Walmart, with the 65-inch model going for $358 ($40 off) and the 85-inch model going for $698 ($100 off).

现代智能电视虽然省去了外接流媒体设备的麻烦，但也带来了隐私担忧和频繁更新等问题。Vizio Mini LED Quantum 电视让你省去这些繁琐步骤，直接使用 HDMI 接口。目前该产品在沃尔玛有折扣，65 英寸机型售价 358 美元（优惠 40 美元），85 英寸机型售价 698 美元（优惠 100 美元）。

Although Vizio’s Mini LED TV comes loaded with Vizio OS, you can bypass the TV’s host of agreements during setup. By pushing past the manufacturer’s warnings about “missing out” on smart TV features, you can disable the built-in operating system, letting you use your own streaming device like a Roku or Apple TV 4K without worrying about what data Vizio and Walmart might be collecting.

尽管 Vizio Mini LED 电视预装了 Vizio OS，但你可以在设置过程中跳过各种协议。通过忽略制造商关于“错过”智能电视功能的警告，你可以禁用内置操作系统，从而使用 Roku 或 Apple TV 4K 等自己的流媒体设备，而不必担心 Vizio 和沃尔玛可能收集的数据。

As for specs, the TV features quantum dots for full, vivid color and high brightness (our testing showed it can reach 936 nits when calibrated thanks to its mini-LED panel). There are some compromises, though, which is expected given the low price point. The IPS panel doesn’t have the best black levels, as you might see on more expensive sets, and there’s a touch of motion blur during faster scenes, which may also hurt its appeal for gamers. It also has three HDMI ports, but they’re only 2.0, although the screen only supports up to 4K at 60Hz, so it’s not detrimental to the experience.

在规格方面，该电视采用量子点技术，色彩饱满生动，亮度高（我们的测试显示，得益于 Mini-LED 面板，校准后亮度可达 936 尼特）。不过，考虑到其低廉的价格，做出一些妥协也在意料之中。IPS 面板的黑色表现不如更昂贵的机型，且在快速场景中会有轻微的运动模糊，这可能会降低其对游戏玩家的吸引力。此外，它配备了三个 HDMI 接口，但仅为 2.0 版本；不过由于屏幕最高仅支持 4K 60Hz，这并不会对使用体验造成太大影响。
