If you’ve been having a problem with getting thePS5to play nicely with yourVizio OLEDor 2020 P-Series Quantum X, there’s some hope on the horizon: you should soon get a firmware update that will fix the TVs’ HDMI 2.1 issues.
According toVizio, the firmware update began rolling out on Friday and fixes a number of issues – from4K@120fps and 4K@60 on PS5, plus improves audio support forXbox Series XandXbox Series S.
If you’re connecting a new 4K-capable GPU like theNvidia GeForce RTX 3080, the firmware update should add support for PCs at 4K@120fps as well, but so far onlyNvidiaGPUs are supported.
Besides the HDMI issues, the latest update also addresses some of the speed issues we were having after waking up, as well as faster booting up from shutdown.
A fix at long last
For months we’ve been following the rollout of the VizioOLEDand the subsequent HDMI issues the TV had. We sawReddit threadscomplaining about the issue, complained about it ourselves onTwitterand brought it up in our review.
So, we’re relieved to see that Vizio is finally rolling out a firmware update.
That said, while Vizio isn’t announcing anything new atCES 2021this week, this fix should bring a lot of new functionality to last year’s crop of TVs and make a lot of Vizio owners just as happy.
