In my research, I've found that one of the differences not many people are aware of is the ACTUAL refresh rate (not the ones that are marketed by Vizio, Samsung, LG, ect.). And based on that research, I've found that for the M series, any monitor - which is what Vizio is calling these now - under 60" has an actual refresh rate of only 60Hz. I have not been able to verify whether this is true of the P Series or not (or whether it has changed between the 2015 and 2016 models), but it is something to keep in mind when purchasing a new television. And that is true regardless of which manufacture you choose to go with - do your research and make sure you are ACTUALLY getting what you want (as opposed to falling for all the marketing gimmick manufacturers pull with things like refresh rate). EDIT: according to CNET, the 55 inch and up P Series "monitors" from Vizio all have an actual refresh rate of 120Hz, with the only difference between them being that the 55 inch model uses an IPS panel (In Plane Switching) versus the 65 and 75 inch models using a VA panel (Veritical Alignment), which typically does better when reviewed by people who do that sort of thing for a living. Other than that, the only other thing I've noticed is that regardless of size, the P-Series has more dimming zones. I have grown to trust the reviews on thewirecutter.com, and right now they have this television as their top 4k television. Now that Vizio has delivered on the HDR10 software update, I plan on purchasing this TV within the next couple of months, hopefully when it goes on sale (fingers crossed). http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-tv/

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.P series is the higher series than M series. The P series has Wide Color Gamut that is essential for HDR.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The P series has more active LED backlight zones than the M series. I think it has a wider color gamut too. Plus it supports HDR and Dolby Vision. I don't think the M series supports those.
