VIZIO Rolls Out AMD FreeSync™ Software Update to 2021 TV Collection

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- VIZIO, Inc., the #1 American-based TV brand¹, today announces that its ProGaming Engine™, available on M-Series Quantum, P-Series Quantum, and P-Series Quantum X, is receiving a performance-enhancing software update, adding AMD FreeSync technology support for effortlessly fluid, tear- and artifact-free gaming performance at virtually any framerate.

With the update, VIZIO M-Series TVs are certified for AMD FreeSync and P-Series for AMD FreeSync Premium, AMD's latest performance standard for serious gamers, improving the accuracy of VRR playback for a smoother gameplay experience during the most intense scenes of the latest, most demanding games.
