Amazing picture quality - brightest model in this price range - perfect for rooms with a ton of natural light or window reflections (it can overcome both of those). It also has superb blacks (when showing low or non-compressed content) for dark room/night time/movie viewing.
I choose this model over the Sony 900 when it went on sale from $1999 to $1599 (the lowest I've seen the Sony is $1799, but its normally $1999). VERY VERY happy with my choice, and I saved enough to buy a PS5 to go with it.
I am truly amazed how much of an improvement this TV is above my 2013 plasma and my brother's 2018 LG 4K TV. It takes a little bit of color adjustment and calibration out of the box, but there are plenty of guides online with recommended settings that will make it easy to adjust.
Issues... yes, motion judder is pretty bad, but no worse than I've seen in some other models/brands. Hoping they improve this with firmware. Blooming can be an issue, but only with lower bandwidth/compressed content. You see it during show credits with MKV files that are of a higher compression rate, but I don't see it in native 4K, 1080p or 720p content... only on more compressed content and lower resolutions.
And the onboard apps have some audio sync issues when used in conjunction with the eARC audio output. Apple TV video was almost a half second off from the audio, Prime TV the same. I only noticed this issue with streaming content of high quality. Lower quality streams like PlutoTV (which is their onboard "free tv" app) don't have that sync problem. I didn't have this issue when I used the TV's onboard speakers, but who out there with a high-end system uses those? That delay unfortunately makes those apps useless for me, but I have other streaming devices where I get those services from. Yes, there are steps you can take to correct this delay (with onboard settings on the TV or your receiver/soundbar), but I don't want to change the millisecond delay rate every time I use those sources... I'd rather just use another device, especially since Rokus and Fire TVs are so cheap right now.
Of course the on-board speakers are junk... but pretty much ALL on-board speakers are junk on TVs (get a receiver or soundbar to go with it).
And yes, despite those issues I'm still giving this TV 5-stars (because it is indeed better than a 4-star TV). If you get it at the price I paid (or lower) you are getting one of the best deals in 4K TV - a truly stunning viewing experience, especially with uncompressed HD, 4K and HDR content.

Bought this TV on sale for 1599, which was 100 more than the 65PQX or the 75 PQ9 at the time. Went with this over OLED for the size, the brightness, and no risk of screen burn-in.
Delivery of the TV was great and quick. Picture quality is great from PC using RTX 3070 Roku Ultra. HDMI 2.1 setting are working well enough for me though setting up VRR for 4k120 has not been successful yet (may or may not be improved by Firmware updates in the future). Also, eARC passthrough fails on Dolby TrueHD 7.1, (I route audio direct to AVR instead) but works for all other audio qualities I have tried.

You are not going to beat this tv for the price. Absolutely stunning picture quality, dolby vision and hdr look great! Very good black levels with excellent brightness. The motion can stutter a bit but if you adjust the judder and stutter controls in the settings, it gets smoothed out. The ability to have 4k 120hz gaming is awesome.
Only things to pick on are the above mentioned motion issues and it gets hung up when switching inputs occasionally. The motion issue as noted above is easy enough to correct, and hopefully a firmware update will fix the switching inputs issue. However at this price along with all the positives, I feel that these issues are relatively minor.

This Vizio is generally a great TV, with support for new functionality like HDMI 2.1, which will be important when the new consoles come out in the fall. The build quality is overall quite solid. The edges of the tv are stippled, which is a nice effect. There is a lot of plastic on the tv, so it won’t look quite as premium as more expensive TVs. The bezels are slim on all sides, which makes the tv look sleek, but makes it difficult to handle without touching the screen. The stand on the tv is quite minimal, just two small feet, and I would recommend wall mounting the tv unless you have a very wide table on which to place it.
In terms of picture quality, there are a number of positives and a few negatives. The “calibrated” picture mode was pretty close to accurate out of the box, which was great. Colors are vibrant and true to life. The full-array local dimming does a very good job of boosting the contrast of the panel, although there can be some bloom in some screens, and occasionally the backlight freaks out and goes way too bright or dark on a certain scene. Also, the screen gets much brighter going from low to medium full array local dimming, which is a strange effect. Hopefully this will be resolved in a patch.
The screen gets very bright, which is great for HDR content and bright rooms. When displaying solid colors, it does show more dirty screen effect than I would like to see. I haven’t noticed an effect of this in actual content, thankfully. Reflections from above are handled really well, but reflections from the side definitely are visible.
I haven’t had much time to use the onboard apps. I had difficulty getting some of the apps, like prime video, to load. The menus are easy to use, and the remote is simple but functional.
There’s definitely some rough edges to the product, most of which I would hope to see resolved with patches in the future. However, the overall product is fantastic, and its feature set is hard to beat at this price.

Has the potential to be the best LED TV out there

Bought from Best Buy and had delivered last week (have a week to go to decide if keeping it or not). I was able to use a 10% coupon from a new financing account on it, but did not select an extended warranty - something I'm considering if I keep this Unit. I came from a 2016 P75-C1 that I really liked.
The Good:
-Colors and brightness are incredible. I thought reds were easy for most TVs, but this one takes it to another level. The brightness is fantastic, and contrast in even SDR HD broadcast/YouTube-TV content is fantastic. Things like laser blasts in the Mandalorian command as much visual sizzle as they do in audio.
-small thin black bezels are nicer than the P75-C1 it replaced
-The new remote is a bit nicer
-Blacks are even more deep than they were before
-After fiddling with the picture settings, motion is as good if not better than the P75-C1 (judder set to 2-3 in most modes)
-connectivity is great, eARC works, have had no issues with lip-sync which was a constant struggle on the old set. (have a Marantz receiver in the mix, most often using a 2019 NVIDIA shield pro and Xbox one x to provide content)
-CEC behaves much better than it did on the C1 (the C1 would always be in an opposite state than desired, or would create CEC command loops where a power-off would finish with it powering down, then back on and turning on all the other devices again). This was a huge frustration for us.
-Dirty Screen Effect is so much improved on this set. if I set to grays I can see just the very slightest amount, but the older set would really show up in football games; we tested some recorded games on this set and its perfect. Really hope 2020 has a full football season as it would be a joy to see on this set.
-Going back to the picture, its insanely good, when its right
The Bad:
-the backlighting issues - particularly for HDR sources (HDR10 mostly, Dolby Vision sometimes) - the backlight will lag behind the video. Others have shown this, but as scenes/camera angles transition in content, there's about a 250ms lag for the backlight to adjust to the scene. Its pretty annoying, the P75-C1 does not do this
-backlighting issues - shadows - in HDR10 particularly, but with SDR content as well one of two issues happen with dark content. Either its shown too brightly with too much backlighting, or there's pulsing in the backlights.
-HDR classification - I'm still working on settings, but I believe after the out of box firmware update, HDMI issues have occurred. the display thought some content from Amazon Prime was HDR10+ and not HDR10 (which is all the shield 2019 supports). In that case the picture was overall very dim, and would sometimes pulse or flicker briefly as others have mentioned. Resetting some settings corrected this, and I was able to get HDR10 content to look mostly correct.
-Picture Settings Adjustments - In both SDR and HDR modes, there's some real odd curves to the settings adjustments. In dolby vision, the brightness setting is pretty exponential in reduction, the picture goes from a faded look to overly contrast-y in just 3 steps from 50 to 47. In HDR10, it was very difficult to make the Grand Tour's outdoor scenes look like they were outdoors in the sun, and in SDR content watching Star Trek Discovery had crushed blacks in some scenes, and very gray space in others - some of this could be from the shield's upscaling engine and the low quality of streamed content, so don't take all of this as gospel; I've not had a chance to run some 4K blurays through it as the panel is destined for "House Hunters and Guy Fieri" as much as it is for movies and sports - such is married life. I'm really struggling to get a consistent picture, I can make it look great for a given show, but I have to go back and mess with everything to get the next one looking right. Some of this can be pointed at that the TV looks so good, that older or lower quality content's limitations get more easily exposed. This thing is 3-4x as bright as the P75-C1, which I thought had a bright and brilliant picture.
I had to fabricate mount relocations as the VESA mount is low on the TV: bought a 48" x 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8" aluminum bar, cut it in half, crudely cut the scallop in it to clear the main bracket section of the mount. I used the bolts from the back of the TV (M8x1.25x20) along with washers and nuts to sandwich the plate to the normal VESA mount sections, and then bolted through it with some M8x1.25x25 bolts and a couple stacked washer to allow clearance of the hardware on the backside. Its dead nuts solid, and didn't add too much weight. I ended up being a half inch lower than my old P75C1 due to some bad math but I actually like it a bit lower than where it was.
The Ugly:
-Vizio's silence on the issues. My old set is far more consistent, and I don't HAVE to upgrade. I wanted this set for the xbox compatibility (as the old set did not support Xbox DV, nor would it support the newer xbox and PS5's 2.1 features), the incredible picture touted in the specs, and less DSE and CEC headaches. So far we've had one firmware update that's made things worse for many. My P75 was rock solid outside an occasional reboot that only would show up in certain scenarios, about once every few months.
-Hard decision to keep it or not. I have a week left in my return window; if I knew at least the backlighting issues would be resolved keeping this would be a no-brainer. I don't think I can get that answer from Vizio Support. When this thing is right, it exceeds my expectations. I'm almost hesitant to game on it or run a 4K bluray through it because I'm sure I'll be blown away - and then annoyed by the issues that come with it.

I bought this TV after having had my 65" Toshiba rear projection set for 16 years. The difference in picture, needless to say, is PHENOMENAL! The amount of light this TV can put out is amazing, it comes out of the box with most picture settings having the brightness and the backlight set to 50% and even there brighter scenes light up the whole room.
Since I have had home theater, I have owned a couple of the "standards" in remote controls, 1) a Philips Pronto or what I call, "the remote of the gods" and 2) a Home Theater Master MX-700 or what I call "the master remote". I got the Pronto first because a co-worker recommended it but quickly learned that the lack of hard buttons was not what I wanted so I bought the MX-700.
I bring up these remotes for the following reason; they allow you to create macros to send a series of commands to switch inputs on your TV and/or your receiver and whatever else has infrared control. So, moving on, I had assumed that a TV this expensive/new would come complete with what enthusiasts call "discrete codes". Discrete codes allow the following very important functions: they allow for direct access to specific inputs as opposed to having to scroll through a list of inputs and even more important, they allow for the switching of power to either off or on no matter the current state of the TV. For example, if the TV is ON and you send an "ON" code then the TV will simply stay ON as opposed to turning OFF which is what an ON/OFF power button does. The OFF function would perform the same way ie. if the TV is OFF it will stay OFF. When doing macros these states being known are critical.
So, now for the nitty gritty. When I first got the TV set up I began my search for discrete codes and even though the Remote of the Gods could be programmed to emit all codes that the TV could understand, there were NO discrete codes. I contacted Vizio a couple of times over the next couple months but their people, at least the ones who answer phones/email, didn't know what I was talking about. I kinda expected this so I went about doing my macros a different way. Fortunately, Vizio at least had the courtesy of making a "HOME" button which, not only powers on the TV, but also switches the input over to their "SMARTCAST" app. From that point you can do the whole input, input, input until you get to the correct input. Also from the point where you have run the "HOME" command, from there you can use the ordinary ON/OFF button to turn the whole system off.
These macros worked but they really aren't very elegant but I was prepared to live with them because they were better than nothing.
Last week my wife called me at worked because of a message on the screen that she didn't understand. It turned out to be a firmware update message. I was very excited about this potentially. Sure enough, when I got home I broke out the Pronto and tried out the codes which should have been for the discrete inputs and power and sure enough they were now there. My excitement was unparalleled, I quickly redid my macros on the master remote with the new codes and I haven't looked back.
Forgive the length of this review, it seemed appropriate to me because this lack of discrete codes was really the only shortcoming I saw in this TV and now it is not. I was actually embarrassed to tell people what I thought of the TV because I considered it such a glaring shortcoming but now I can safely say "THIS IS A GREAT TV".
I don't know if the sudden emergence of the discrete codes had anything to do with my contacting Vizio or perhaps I was just one of many other voices and they did the right thing and corrected the situation because of this. Either way, it is now, I feel, the best TV for the money.

Vizio P75qx-h1

Yes, I know 3 Stars is harsh. But, I'll give as much detailed reasoning behind this. My SUBJECTIVE OPINION is based on my previous experience with a 4k UHD native 60hz panel that was compatible with HDR10. A very low HDR brightness range compared to the Vizio.
I do really like the quality of the Vizio P75QX-H1 panel. The HDR 4k Dolby Vision compatibility is key here. The HDR peak brightness is amazing. Scenes with sparks or sunlight almost seem "real", they are very bright. The blacks get very dark. But, there can be some brightness blooming in high contrast sources, depending on the panel settings.
Most of my sources were from streaming apps. These vizio streamcast native apps provided 24fps to 30fps sources. I do attach this to a PC with a high end graphics card, which I'll get into later, that was able to drive 60-120fps. The maximum this panel offers native is 120hz.
Again, 4K@30fps HDR Dolby Vision is beautiful.
4k@24fps HDR10+ is also pretty good.
4k@30fps HDR10 is very similar to HDR10+,
Maybe better dues to even division of frame rate judder reduction settings in the native 120hz.
1080p @24-30fps starts to get to be undesirable. The look is grainy to very grainy depending on the source. The Minority of the sources for tv content tend to be in this range depending on your provider.
SDR 720p 24-30fps. This is by far the worst option for this tv. Most of your TV content will be in this range. Lots of artifacting, blockiness, and the low resolution just stands out too much. None of the filter settings or super resolution mode, edge sharpening, seem to help improve this. TV sports are just ok, maybe poor.
I do have a previous generation gaming console. Xbox one X(not new series X) that does HDR10 4k@30hz. The gaming engine seems to partially work. Low latency mode works, HDR gaming works. Although, I do not have a freesync device to test. This panel is supposed to have Freesync premium, which apparently is supposed to be a non certified version of Nvidia G-SYNC. VRR does not work with G-SYNC(currently). I read from others that this is supposed to be updated at a later date.
I did have trouble with a specific HDMI 2.1 certified cable. This TV offerers HDMI 2.1 mode, which I could not get to work. Of the two certified 2.1 HDMI cables I have, I could not get this panel to recognize this source.
PC gaming and PC source. After hours of fiddling, I could get this panel in Windows 10 into HDR 10bit mode and 4k 3840x2160p at 120hz with an Nvidia RTX2060. This panel at times does not like changing modes and at times will freeze, need a reboot if the source, or an unplug / replug if the HDMI cable to work. Very buggy. With an NVIDIA rtx3070 there are tons of signal recognition problems. Will not support HDMI 2.1 under any resolution. Regardless if the previously working settings. Windows safe mode and BIOS boot work fine in all conditions.
With at least 1 PC game, I was able to test 2560*1440 HDR at 90+fps. It works very good.
HDR 4k 60fps youtube videos looked the best on this panel compared to all of the other sources. This is achieved by way of a PC video card RTX3070 connected at 3840*2160 10bit RGB @120hz.
The panel does some buggy things in terms of the streamcast software. The source changing can be an issue at times. Then, there is the laggy volume control. Not sure what causes this, but it seems persistent at times, and at other times intermittent.
Clearly this is a high frame rate high resolution HDR focused panel. SDR is not good. Also, Due to the missing or broken features along with the buggy software. I currently rate this at 3 Stars. Fix this Vizio, and this could well be a 5 star product.

Waited a month before making a review just to soak it all in. First impressions are that the TV looks great out of the box, blacks are very deep and the color is vibrant! User menu is very fast responding. I'm not a fan of the up scaling of the SD and HD content but let's be real you buy this TV for the 4k hdr stuff and it definitely delivers. Images are crisp and very vibrant. Make sure you have plenty of 4k content to watch to maximize the value of the TV. What I dont like is the halo effect of anything that is white on the screen, from the on screen menu to a person with a white shirt you will get this annoying effect on the screen. You can reduce the active array dimming to reduce this but I guess it's something you have to live with. Speakers are trash and you definitely need a soundbar. Looks wise the bezels are minimal and the TV looks good until you get to the back. I've seen the complaints about flickering but I cannot say I've seen any flickering at all. Remote is minimalistic at best but the hotkeys are welcomed. Can't wait to try the Ps5 on this thing!

I had a not even 2 year old Vizio P75-F1 that I replaced with this, in anticipation of the new requirements with HDMI 2.1 on the game consoles coming out this fall. It was between this and the comparable LG model. I may still be returning this to get the LG model...
First off - the colors are amazing, this TV really does look great, and provides a gorgeous picture. Even compared to my less than 2 year old Vizio that I really loved, this is great. Depending on the source and media, at times it looks like it's in torch mode the colors are so vibrant, but the values for picture are all 50% and less, nothing is cranked up high. The brightness factor is just really that noticeable.
Darks look dark, but of course it's no OLED or anything. Still darker than most LED TV's. And the local dimming works great, unlike some of the lesser quality TV's with local dimming, I could see no area of "squares" and blocky things around a light item moving through a dark space - such as a space ship moving through the darkness of space, or even a mouse cursor on a dark background.
Sound is adequate, but hopefully anyone buying this isn't looking at the sound quality, but will put it in a home theater like I did. But I had to use the local speakers for a day while getting things rearranged in my entertainment console underneath. It won't make anyone gasp, but at least it was usable for TV and my PS4.
But the remote experience is just HORRIBLE. First of all, the remote that comes with the TV - if I point it STRAIGHT at the IR receiver it won't work. I have to point it up at about a 45 degree angle before the TV will see it. Not a big issue I thought, since I use a Logitech Harmony Elite with the hub so I don't ever use the OEM remotes anyway.
Of course, that's where I found that the Logitech database for this is either really bad, or this TV's infrared port is just that useless. First, it would never turn on with any of my activities. Playing around for about 5 hours one night I worked through some of the issues, such as the Logitech database apparently has a bad Power On discrete code - it NEVER works. Power OFF worked fine, but Power ON never would. Ultimately I had to "learn" the remote's power TOGGLE option to replace power on for Logitech - at least then it would turn on.
But only sometimes. No matter where I place the IR blaster, I have iffy response from the remote. So it's the same issues I have with the OEM remote. I'm guessing there's either a really poor design in the IR receiver on the TV or the one I have is just junk.
But the real problem for someone like me that uses Alexa and the Harmony to do all my switching (I have 7 HDMI devices my receiver flips through on demand, and now the Xbox 1 and PS 4 that are using the two 2.1 ports on the TV) is that this thing isn't just poorly responsive, but apparently there is *NO* discrete codes that work for inputs. So I can't just switch between HDMI 1 (the one my receiver plugs into for all the other devices, and then becomes the eARC return channel for the two devices plugged into the TV) and HDMI 3 or 4 where the consoles are. The Logitech settings fail utterly.
My older Vizio worked fine. So I tried that, in case the codes were the same - still fails. I spent hours researching and trying various things recommended by people in various forums, all to no avail. So far even Logitech support can't get me any way to change the input with their remote short of selecting input and pressing arrows to find the right one.
So I fired up the App and got this tied to a Vizio account, and then enabled the Alexa skill. Seemed to work fine at first, that evening. Next morning the exact commands that worked fine the previous night don't work and she tells me there's no device that supports that feature...
The nonstop issues with the infrared and remotes (even it's OWN) are just getting too frustrating even though I've only had the set now for 3 days now. It's looking more and more like I will end up purchasing the LG model instead and hope the picture is as decent as this was.

I'm upgrading from a 4 year old Samsung 4K TV. I think the picture quality looks great. Out of the box, the colors looked off and needed to be tweaked. The TV is very bright and handles reflections very well, which is important to me because I have the TV located in a bright room with some large windows.
The downsides are there have been a couple bugs with the software. A few times, the TV has randomly switched the input from whatever I was watching to SmartCast. It takes a little longer than my old TV to turn on. After turning on, there's an annoying banner at the top of the screen that notifies me a sound bar is attached - it doesn't go away until I press a button on the remote. I also heard the latest firmware has had a few issues.
Overall I am happy with the purchase.

The good. Almost everything. I thought I was going to have the Red Tint because whites looked a bit red on the setup screens, but after the updates and setting up everything and doing some basic calibration (adjusting contrast, brightness, etc) everything looks great. Blacks are inky, whites are bright and you don't lose detail in either. I noticed some banding on streaming, but I think it's because my internet sucks because playing games and watching 4k Ultra BR was perfect with no banding. The Xbox Series X booted up right away and looks fantastic, 4k120 HDR works perfectly. Google TV device works great and content looks good across the board of 4K stuff. Based on my initial experience with this TV, I would recommend it to almost anyone, even at full price, but especially when it goes on sale for $1500.
The bad. Not a lot honestly:
Same VRR issues as the OLED. Won't work at 4k120
Can't adjust settings when in game mode just like the OLED. I do get the random times where I can do it.
I had a couple of HDMI 2.1 handshake issues initially, but haven't had one since that initial setup. Had to turn off, turn back on, unplug HDMI, plug back in, etc.
1080p and below content looks way worse than the OLED. It's not unwatchable, but you definitely get banding, grain, noise, etc.
Viewing angles are not great, but also not as bad as what I saw on Rtings. I did turn on the viewing angle enhancement. Colors get a little washed out and blacks aren't as inky, but it's still 100% watchable. It's just more close to watching on an older, non full array LED TV.

With the latest firmware available as of today the movie watching experience on this TV is amazing. This panel has extremely high peak brightness and it really makes HDR highlights pop.
However, using it with my RTX 3090 has been painful. When I first plugged into the HDMI 2.1 port I immediately got no signal. After a couple hours of troubleshooting I've realized that after some combination of toggling VRR on or off and toggling HDMI 2.1 and 1.4 modes eventually gets the TV to accept a 4K120Hz signal. Almost every time I reboot or wake the display from sleep, I get no signal and have to fiddle with the HDMI version or VRR settings.
What's weird is Vizio officially doesn't support VRR(their site says coming soon) at 4K120Hz, only 4K60Hz, but even when I explicitly turn VRR off in the input settings, it still seems to be functional.
When I do eventually get the TV to work with my PC it is an amazing HDR gaming experience. There is a significant amount of overshoot for dark color transitions at 60Hz, but it's much less noticeable at 120Hz.
Overall quite impressed, but I really hope they put out some more firmware updates to fix these weird bugs.

Stunning picture quality. SDR content looks incredible, HDR content looks so good it's like looking through a window into the real world. Firmware has been problematic and buggy, but Vizio has slowly been fixing issues. I'm confident that with a few more updates this TV will be absolutely stellar and should be the centerpiece of my living room for at least the next few years.

If you are looking for a TV that handles 4K HDR content like a top of the line competitor at a budget price, this is the TV for you. You will need to calibrate the picture to maximize the image quality. This is one of the few downsides that this Vizio has where more expensive televisions come better calibrated right out of the box. Non HD content does not look good on this TV and the upscaling is subpart.

I was torn between this, a Sony and and Samsung. I saw the brightness and crispness of this and couldn't turn it down. Get it home, and from opening was impressed. Easy cover lift off. A strong bag for ease of removing from bottom holding. A nice foam pad covering on screen side for initial setup. Had think foam pads in spots too so the TV sits up making it easier to set up and install stand. Also made it easy with installing LED lights on the back. Small things like this for me show a company who cares about its end user.
Get TV set up and run through different videos and settings. Nothing was close to what I saw in store. Started to get a little nervous on being duped. Motion was awful. Bright setting were bright but everything grainy.. Then I stumbled upon calibration settings from RTings.com for this TV and it made a drastic difference. It did require a bit of my own tinkering, but once done, movies, TV, from regular to HD to 4k all ran smooth, no motion issues and crystal clear. BEYOND thrilled. The reason I will give this 4 instead of 5 is the interface is a bit choppy and not so well set up and user friendly. For me, this is no issue as I use my Xfinity box for all app streaming so I don't use their built in service for streaming.
I plan to get a PS5 at some point too and the same site has recommended settings for gaming so will update in future in how it works with gaming

The best tv I've ever bought the colors are bright and vibrant the HDR HDR10 HDR10+ and Dolby vision are amazing the picture quality and resolution are clear and crisp. sports look amazing on this tv. Gaming is amazing on it it has no input lag that iv noticed it has support for 4k @120 ALLM VRR and game HDR in the settings that can automatically optimize the HDR for gaming. It also has support for eARC it has 4 HDMI ports 2 of the HDMI ports are HDMI 2.0 the other 2 HDMI ports are HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 which I found odd I thought all 4 of them would of been HDMI 2.1 but I'm sure with a firmware update they will all be HDMI 2.1
The tv is ready for the next gen consoles the only con this tv really has is there is little bit of a halo affect around text but I can live with that nothing to bad. You definitely are getting a premium tv as you would if you purchased a Samsung LG Sony ect for a more reasonable price I highly recommend this tv

Really enjoying this TV. Upgraded from a 55" Toshiba and the difference is night and day. I spent weeks researching this Vizio compared to LG OLED CX, Samsung, TCL, Hisense, and Sony models. For my budget I feel like I made the right choice. The picture is absolutely stunning and the brightness is incredible. The only nitpicks I have is that it doesn't have an app store, so if the app you want isn't preloaded you are out of luck. The upscaling isn't great and sometimes the interface is a little on the slow side but that's not why I buy a TV, I buy it for picture quality and as far as that goes you will not be disappointed. I am very happy with my purchase so far and the folks at best buy were very pleasant throughout the purchase process. (I showed up to pick it up but was too big for my vehicle, they re did the whole transaction but with free delivery with a smile)

I did a lot of research on which television to purchase. So glad I did! The picture of this one is amazing. The black levels are great and it has a brightness that no one else even comes close to.
Only con I have had, is you have to adjust quite a few settings to get it just right.
