GameStop has two 65-inch Vizio 4K smart TVs on sale online as of Feb. 1:
In what’s probably the least exciting GameStop news of the week, the video game retailer is apparently now the place to go for a really good deal on a 4K smart TV: As of Feb. 1, there are two 65-inch Vizio displays on sale there that come with free $100 GameStop gift cards on top of $100 to $200 discounts while supplies last.
G Style Magazine reports that GameStop began carrying Vizio TVs and soundbars on its website in late November, or just after the release of the new Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. That’s definitely not a coincidence: The average gamer will have to upgrade their display to get the most out of a next-gen console.
The models GameStop had on sale at the time of writing aren’t the fanciest PS5- and Series X-friendly TVs your money can buy, FYI. (Click here if you’ve got a few grand burning a hole in your pocket.) But for casual gaming and regular TV-watching, they’re some extremely solid picks that come in under the $1,000 benchmark — here’s the lowdown:
With full-array local dimming for enhanced contrast, Quantum dot technology for brilliant, precise colors, and support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, the picture quality of Vizio’s new M-Series Quantum TV is seriously impressive for its price range. Also worth noting: CNET says it’s the cheapest display out there that supports Variable Refresh Rate (or VRR), a feature on the PS5 and Series X that eliminates stuttering and tearing.
It’s now even cheaper than usual: GameStop has the 65-inch Vizio M-Series Quantum on sale for just $599.99, or 14% off its $699.99 MSRP.
The higher-end Vizio P-Series Quantum is an LED display with HDMI 2.1 ports, 120Hz refresh rates, and VRR support, a spec combo that’s made it one of tech reporter Alex Perry’s top 4K picks for next-gen gaming. (An edge-to-edge, anti-reflective screen and a zippy IQ Ultra Processor — Vizio’s fastest, smartest chip yet — don’t hurt its case, either.)
At just $999.99, it’s a total steal. (That’s about 17% off its suggested retail price of $1,199.99.)
Note that both TVs are also on sale on Vizio’s website, but only GameStop throws in those free $100 gift cards.
