Irvine, CA – Nov. 5, 2019 – VIZIO, Inc. today announced its second collaboration with (RED)® to raise awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Introducing the special edition (VIZIO)RED M-Series Quantum 50” Class 4K HDR Smart TV, VIZIO is donating 10% of the purchase price of every (VIZIO)RED M-Series sold. With stunning red accents around the frame of its edge-to-edge display and a matching (RED) remote, the TV is on sale now at Amazon.com/RED and VIZIO.com/RED, and sells for an MSRP of $479.99 (pricing may vary).

“We were overwhelmed with the response to our collaboration with (RED) last year,” said Robynne Curry, Senior Director of Product Marketing, VIZIO. “Ahead of this year’s World AIDS Day on December 1, we are thrilled to offer consumers an opportunity to give back to the global community once again with the new (VIZIO)RED M-Series Quantum 50” Class 4K HDR Smart TV.”

The (VIZIO)RED M-Series model delivers next-generation Quantum Color technology, producing over a billion shades of color to create images with extraordinary vibrancy and clarity. 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision™, HDR10, and UltraBright 400 bring exceptional detail and bright highlights. A powerful Active Full Array® backlight features 16 local dimming zones that intelligently adjust to what’s on the screen, resulting in deep black levels with striking fidelity and contrast.

Boasting VIZIO’s SmartCast™ platform, the (VIZIO)RED M-Series offers even more ways to stream, control, and share your favorite content. With Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, users can stream thousands of their favorite movies, TV shows, and music, or mirror their screen directly to their TV. VIZIO SmartCast also includes support for Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa voice functionality, making the VIZIO M-Series more than just a TV – it’s your perfect smart home companion. From searching for your favorite show to powering the TV on and off, simple voice commands allow users to take control of their entertainment – and all without lifting a finger.

(RED) was set up with a clear objective – to make it easy for businesses and individuals to be involved in the fight to end AIDS. To date, (RED) has generated more than $600 million for the Global Fund through partnerships with the world’s most iconic brands.
