This is a great 4K tv with all necessities: 120hz panel, various hdr standards, local dimming and wide color gamut. Pros: Brightness. It can reach up to 1000 nits which is insane for a tv at this price. Hdr really pops as intended. If a tv is no brighter than 600 peak, the hdr will only feels washed out. Color calibration. Out of the box the color is accurate and needs minimum tweaking. This is a huge plus for average customers. Local dimming. With it, this tv can reach some awesome bright dark contrast. Although it only has 56 zones (mine is 55 inch), they really work great without obvious blooming. Build quality: not flimsy, panel quality is solid as well. Slight Vignette on corners but unifomity is great. Cons: Laggy OS. The tv OS is sometimes slow to respond. If you have a console or a tv sticker, you are fine. Viewing angle. This tv including all other tvs with VA panel have this problem. Color will shift slightly if not directly in front of the tv but in real world it’s not that scary. Sound quality. The speaker of this tv is bland and mushy. A basic 2.0 sound bar is recommended. **for the people struggling with this tv and TCL 6 series: TCL has better brightness and more dimming zone in paper. I compared with them side by side only found that thanks to Vizios better color calibration and better dimming algorithms, tcl does not feel as pop as vizio. Plus, you don’t risk playing panel lottery with TCL at least for this year or before they upped their game in QA. Overall, this tv ticks all the boxes for a real 4K HDR experience.

I went to Best Buy right after Black Friday to get a new 4K UHD TV. I didn’t want one of the cheap Doorbuster Tv. I picked up the LG SK8000 55” for $699 which was a good deal I thought. The picture was great but the Edge Lit Display was TERRIBLE! So I exchanged that for this Vizio P Series 55” 4K UHD Tv and the P Series is WAY BETTER than the Lg SK8000 55” Pros of the P Series: - nice bright display - Great colors - Nice Clear And Amazing Picture Quality that competes with QLED TVs for half the price. - Built in Chromecast is a Plus - I love the build of the P Series 2018 TVs. - Non-existing Bezel on top and sides with a tiny sliver of silver at the bottom. - 5 HDMI PORTS! - Best TV in this price Range by far! - Full Array Dimming - Bright colors deep blacks Cons of the P Series : - Smartcast is a little sluggish but is nice especially when you cast stuff to your tv. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this TV to anyone looking for an AMAZING 4K UHD Tv for an amazing affordable price! Defiantly beats ALL the competitors which are a lot more exspensive with less features. I always get Vizio TVs but this P Series 2018 55” is the best TV I have owned!

First off the software is horrible and clunky. Just skip it. The legs are very spread apart and wide making a huge stand necessary. The image when utilizing local dimming really messes some things up. Especially text. All of my on screen guides look like crap around the text. Especially those on gray backgrounds. The color is not uniform what so ever. Last of the bad is the VERY loud siren alarm sound that happens once in awhile. Now the good. The design of the TV, material, fit n finish are all very nice and upscale. The colors are amazing. The picture is very good. Sound is adequate. My Samsung UN55MU6290 broke after 16 months. I picked up this Vizio for really cheap. On paper the Vizio blows the Samsung out of the water. In real life this is not the case. This TV is worth the discounted price it is now selling for.
