VIZIO - 55" Class - LED - P-Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

The picture quality of this TV is absolutely amazing. The black levels just as good if not equal to OLED and the colors pop and are extremely vivid. If you are not familiar with the naming conventions of the Vizio TV's The "P" in P series is for "Performance" and it really does well to that standard. If you're a gamer you'll appreciate and respect the TV for what it is capable of with it's 4K UHD and HDR capabilities. As of this writing there are only 2 issues that stand out; 1.) This TV is advertised on Vizio's website as a major supporter of Google Play Movies and TV for 4K UHD content with HDR, however, there is what is currently being considered, an issue or bug with Google Play Movies and TV only playing at 480p when casting directly to the TV (the issue is non-existent when you have Chromecast connected but defeats the purpose of the TV having Chromecast built in) At last check, Vizio and Google were both aware and contacting either of them led the finger to being pointed to the other for a resolution. However, Vizio has acknowledged the issue and stated they were working on a fix, but its been almost a year and still no fix. This issue persists on the P55-F1 and P55RED-F1 so no matter the color, the issue remains. You can reference the status of the issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VIZIO_Official/comments/8z43zf/cast_in_4k/ 2.) I own, an Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch, both consoles do amazing on this TV, however, with the Xbox One X, Microsoft made an update to the HDR that leaves the Vizio P-Series TV's incompatible. This isn't too big an issue as the Xbox One X will simply revert to HDR10, but if you want Dolby Vision HDR you will have to wait for Vizio to release a patch. I want to make sure I do not not confuse anyone reading this, the P series does support Dolby Vision HDR but Microsoft's Xbox console now supports a "newer" type of Dolby Vision that the current 2018 and lower model TV's do not support. However, Vizio is aware of this and has stated they are working on a fix. Still, this fix has not reached our TV's.

I took a photo of how cool the TV is next to my Switch and the glare you get from bright sunlight, the glare looks like it could be a problem but not exponentially in my opinion. I had a Vizio D series before this one that was much worse. I am otherwise happy with the TV and it's current capabilities! the red color is also a nice touch!

Watching 4K content and playing games on this tv the picture looks great , that being said it doesn’t do a very good job at upscaling in my opinion my Sony does a much better job in that area, also the tv tuner seems to be weak at picking up good signals , I might try a different antenna but I’ve seen that complaint in other reviews. Other than that I am satisfied with this tv the comparable Sony tv with better upscaling was about 400 dollars more at the time I purchased it. The 4K pictures on the two were similar in my opinion and I think saving 400 bucks for a spare tv in the sunroom was worth it.

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.

First off let me say that i have been through the ringer trying to find a TV. Guess what? I found it! After going through the TCL hype, we went through 6 (SIX) replacement tv's between the 5 and 6 series.. I was enraged and couldnt believe how hard it was to buy a decent tv these days.. I called the TCL support line (awful, absolutely awful) and finally got them to send me a refund for my defective equipment and i will not be going back. Ever! Horrible experience. Now on to the Vizio.. I did extensive research on this product. A native 120hz panel with full array backlighting from a trusted brand for under $1,000, I had to try it out. The colors are super vibrant and rich even in a bright room. Reflections to a minimal and black looks like black, grey looks like grey. I seriously couldnt be happier with this purchase. The sound on the tv is a little iffy, but it's fine for everyday watching. Dont expect a concert in ur family room. HDR content is crazy. I'm seriously blown away with this TV. You cannot go wrong with this. You just cant. PS4 plays flawlessly and actually looks like a different game. Especially madden. The AI on this thing is incredible and i honestly cant rave enough. I hope this review is enough to persuade you into buying this set.

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.

The picture on this tv is pretty great and the viewing angles aren't bad either. But the tv is not reliable. Sometimes when powering on, the tv just won't power on fully. No picture. TV needs to be power cycled again to try and get it working. When watching tv, the picture will randomly go black or you will get random white/pink/green pixelation for for either a couple of seconds and then resets, or the tv needs to be power cycled. I've attempted to resolve this issue with different video sources, hdmi cables and hdmi ports but the issue persists.

This TV looks amazing. 1080p content even looks great. I really like the Dolby vision. That makes the picture look so good. I stream Dolby vision content on Netflix. The only issue with the TV would be the UI. I love Roku, so, it doesn't matter to much to me. But their apps are a bit slow. I got this TV for the super bowl. Live TV is never best quality, but this upscale looks decent compared to older models. I'm a huge fan of Vizio.
