Customer Ratings & Reviews

>> Summary We were looking for an upgrade to our main old 55” 4K TV set with something bigger but not too big. This TV feels like the right upgrade size-wise while still providing a remarkable image once you adjust it with the proper settings. Favorable: Big screen, 4K, wide range of colors, decent number/selection of inputs, easy menu options to choose from, easy access to a myriad of free/unlimited streaming channels in one place. (5 stars for this) Not-so-favorable: The only issue I see is that, without doing image adjustment, the image comes out as a little washed out, even in actual 4k video. (4 stars for this). >> Unpacking (two people needed) This unit is heavy, so if you do not want to risk dropping it on the floor and/or damaging it (or harming yourself), you do need a helping hand to lift the box, unpack it, attach the legs and place it at the intended area. For attaching the legs, it is best to follow the instructions to lay the TV on a flat surface that leaves space to attach the legs (without removing the screen protecting padding it came with). We have a two-level floor, so we went by laying the TV on the top section of the floor and then attaching the legs above the bottom section of the floor. To be repetitive, we were two people doing that and even then, we were very cautions in not damaging the TV. >> Setup Make sure you measure your entertainment center or furniture to make sure it fits in/on it, take into consideration that the legs on the TV adds about 2” to its height and that the legs rest almost at the end of the sides of the TV (so a very wide top area is needed for this TV, unless you plan on placing it on the wall). Our TV furniture has an area at the center for the TV, and it ended up coming short by 1”, it currently holds a 55” 4k TV fine, but cannot hold this one. I’ll need to buy a TV stand to try to close the 2” gap, or a new furniture for this TV. I don’t plan to place it on the wall, it is just too heavy and my house walls have several decades on them already. Easy and painless setup, no major hurdles going through the setup menu, so not much to say, enter your WiFi (or connect your network cable to your router/switch) and ready to enjoy your favorite videos/channels. >> Image/Color The Vizio M-Series Quantum is advertised as having more colors than “regular” 4k TVs, this looks to be true when compared with my old 55” 4K TV, but with one caveat, without any adjustments, the image comes out as a little washed out, even in 4K and Dolby-Vision. This image washed-out is noticeable when compared to my other 55” 4K Toshiba TV (see one of the images comparing the two). As a result, I am not really sold on the claim that the Vizio Quantum TV has vibrant colors out of the box. In order to get vivid and vibrant colors one has to tinker with the image options for some time (I am not an image expert, so it was, and it is, a trial-and-error effort). HD/1080 Video: I can tell that there is some upscaling when playing in HD format, there seems to be some micro pixelation when I get very close to the TV. We tried sitting close (but not to close) to the TV, initially the bigger “pixels” are distracting, it took us a couple of days for our brains to adjust to it, so this is one more justification to respect the proper distance to the TV. Ambient Light Sensor: It makes a difference for situations where you do not want any lights when watching TV. The brightness is a more bearable with that setting on when watching TV in the dark (I prefer having ambient lights while my wife prefers a dark room). Backlight: really nice to have this option, I find it useful specially to get rid of some of that washed-out feeling off the image. Picture Mode: Picture Mode suggested is always "Calibrated". Sometimes, especially for HD cable TV, I find that "Vivid" mode is the best one (combined with some other adjustments). Calibrated mode seems to work better for Netflix. It is nice to have this option though. Color Temperature: easy three modes for some predefined settings, whether you want more vivid color or darker color. Very convenient. >> Sound I didn’t expect much about the sound to be a major selling point, since I will most likely use a good sound system on such good quality TV, but it is worth paying attention to it to assess the overall quality of the product. A bad sounding device would shine-me-away from buying it. I am actually pleased and so is my wife with the sound quality. Sound is enough to fill a big room, but you’d know that the sound is coming from the TV, not from your sound system. Bottom line, to give this TV its proper credit attach it to a good sound system. >> Connectivity Plenty of connections, 4HDMI, antenna, among others. Cable TV runs from the box through and HDMI cable to the TV, no complaints so far. TV Antenna: I have an HD TV antenna which I do not really use, I decided to give it a try with this TV. I’d say that the image quality is very good for the couple of non-telemarketing HD Channels available on open air TV; standard format is fine despite the size of the TV, just some pixelation (expected). The best of trying the TV antenna, though, was that we got one Latino channel (Telemundo) we like for free, so we didn’t need to put extra money on the coffers of our cable provider for that channel. There is also free Latino programming on Vizio’s WatchFree (there is plenty to watch in WatchFree!). Miracast: Used Microsoft’s Miracast to connect to the TV through HDMI, nice quality! See picture attached. >> Apps Well the main app we use is NetFlix, we are just impressed about the quality the picture comes out, well of course some image adjustment needed, so far very content with the performance of this TV. Wireless works like a charm and we can watch our favorite Netflix movies and shows. This is the first time I heard about Dolby-Vision content, and quite impressed that Netflix provides such content and this TV supports it. Only complaint is that with Dolby-Vision, the backlight option is not available. >> WatchFree! Amazing the variety of programming you can watch here! This is just worth the whole TV price! Mixed variety of SD and HD definitions for the most part, but excellent programming nonetheless. I wouldn’t mind watching a good history program in SD definition. I am delighted with this. >> Not-tested There are several things not tested thoroughly or not tested at all, such as gaming, I would need more pages and time to provide that. My focus was the size and image quality for my intended main TV.

Initially our reaction to picture quality was total disappointment, but we ordered an updated cable box with hdmi cables and it made a total difference!! I was ready to exchange it for a Samsung that was double the price.... just to get QLED on a 65” tv. I’m so glad we waited on the new cable box!! Very pleased with this tv!! 65” Qled tv with full array backlight for $600........ outstanding!!

I went through four TVs before I was completely satisfied. Started with the lg 95 series and to much color sway when moving around then the 90 stupid idea lol then Samsung 8 series picture just so dark and then went with this one. Wow what a difference!! Great brightness, hdr10, works PERFECT with ps5. So with everything that happened in the last two last 2020 or 2021 is it worth spending all the extra money when vizio is making home runs like this under a $1000?

This 65" TV was worth the upgrade of 220.00 from the V Series. The color and brightness are a big difference. You can see the details even watching the TV in the daytime. It is very bright at night. I couldn't afford the P Series so this will have to do. I am very glad i purchased this TV. Now to getting the M Series 2.1 soundbar soon also.

Had high hopes, although initial build quality left a lot to be desired. First power up the backlight wouldn't turn on. A full power cycle the backlight came on. During the first inspection found one stuck pixel towards the center of the screen, then looked to the right and found what looked like a smashed bug between the layers of the LCD. Not really impressed and decided to return and look at a different model.

We are very happy with our new t.v . Glad that we picked out Vizio its our second 1 the first one lasted 5 years

Perfect for our smaller living room. Makes it feel more like a home. Great picture quality. Tons of fun apps for all of our favorites.

Awesome TV the quality is exceptional and easy to operate

Love it! Only con is the volume is low.. I’m going to purchase a sound bar to fix that issue!

I Love my TV..... It shows very clear and the sound is Amazing

After having issues with the first one I bought, BestBuy was quick to make things right! Love the new tv and am amazed with how well it syncs with my appletv, Alexa, and Vizio sound bar! Very happy with my purchase and will continue to buy Vizio!

If you're in the market for a lower cost TV with good smart features, then this is the TV for you. If you want a superb picture and color quality, then you'll need to increase your budget and get a higher series Vizio. The TV has great smart features. Once you turn it on and run through the quick setup, you then have apps built in that you can quickly start streaming. It also allows you to cast just like you would to a Chromecast, and with most apps that stream video having this as a feature, its easy to quickly find things on your phone and get it playing on the TV. The other nice part is that you can mirror iOS devices, which is much harder to find without Apple TV. The overall design of the TV is nice too, and I like that you can disable to LED in the front. The speakers also work well for a TV. The main downside of the M series though is that the picture quality, especially the colors, isn't the best. I had the TV beside a tablet playing the same content, and the tablet colors just looked better. The TV colors just look a little washed out, even when trying to go through and adjust the colors. With that said, this is a really nice TV in the price range for this size TV. The money for what you spend it worth it. If you are looking for a better image in this cost range, I don't think you'll get it. I'm giving it a high rating when considering cost and what you get, but if you take the cost away and only compare picture quality this would be lower. Still a great TV!

Got this tv for my parents and they like it. On sale for $579 is not a bad deal. Colors are great and for the price you can’t beat it.

Great tv, love the easy remote options. Great picture abs quality. Great price.

I've only owned Vizio TVs because I've never been disappointed with their product. From a 19" back in 2009, to a 32" back in 2011, a 40" last year and now this 65"... all of them are amazing. The 40" V-Series to the 65" M-Series doesn't have any major difference in the interface or anything like that, but the picture quality is much nicer on the 65"... the size doesn't hurt either - great for a larger space. The sound quality out of the box isn't the best, but that's not what TVs are for, so that was expected. I did buy a Vizio soundbar to accompany the screen and that added to the overall experience quite a bit. This TV also has everything you need. I use the SmartCast all the time, and I've set it up with my Google Home to turn on and off with my voice. I am still learning the full capabilities there, but just that feature alone is amazing.

This TV is big and beautiful. Great color and deep blacks. Movies look fantastic. Don’t use it for games but I can imagine it would be great for that too. Definitely perfect for movie night. The smart features seem good but I use Apple TV. The TV connects to my Alexa so I can turn it on and off with voice control. Very cool.

Got this TV specifically for the Xbox Series X. Did a ton of research and debated between 60 FPS and 120. In the end I decided on this tv with 60 FPS, and I am happy I did. For the price, this compares reasonably well with other high end TV’s. The colors “pop” and are bright and crisp. At times the white with HDR can be a bit overwhelming, but you can always correct this in the settings menu. For the 4K to be detected you have to physically go into the HDMI input settings and change it to 2.1 instead of auto, which is a minor inconvenience, but may be fixed with an update in the near future. The smart TV options are adequate, but lack the option of downloading apps. Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, and a host of other apps are included, but you cannot install apps that are not already on the TV such as is the case with HBO Max. You do get an option call “watch free” for all you cord cutters out there, which has a decent selection of “cable” channels to stream. All in all I gave this TV 4 stars as it is a great budget option for someone looking to upgrade to 4K or for Next Gen gaming without breaking the bank.

Great tv at a good price, perfect for my new Xbox Series X.

Best choice for affordable and good quality. A little bulky but where it was installed you can't tell. Operating system a little slow but great in general

Eyed this TV for months before I bought it and I’m glad I did. Great for movies and shows! Picture and Color are great and life like. Definitely a bang for your buck if you don’t want to spend too much money. It is everything you need in a TV with out the outrageous prices. This is my third Vizio TV and Ive had good experiences so far. BUT I will say one thing that I didn’t like, and that is I notice that when I’m watching fast paced videos or sports that there is long thick lines going vertically down my TV screen. I read reviews and I didn’t see anyone else with this problem. Can someone reach out about this issue? Maybe I got a defective TV? I don’t know if it is normal or not. Other than that, the TV is fantastic! 5 stars if I didn’t have my issue.
