Customers are positive about the picture quality, price, color, gaming experience, easy setup, and design of the TV. They appreciate the clear, crisp, and beautiful colors, as well as the great picture quality for both movies and gaming. Customers are negative about the remote control, power issues, vertical banding, durability, and the TV randomly turning on. They have experienced issues with the remote not working properly, the TV turning off by itself, vertical banding on the screen, the TV breaking down after a few months, and the TV randomly turning on.
I'm reviewing PQ65-G1 model. Let me begin by saying that I used to own nothing but Samsung in my household until I decided to try the original P-Series in 2016. I became a fan and had purchased other Vizio TVs such as their D and E series. I never had any issues with any of them. I was in the market for a new TV that's HDR compatible and purchased this P-Series Quantum. The good: TV is overall fantastic, great picture quality, good motion, good black levels, bright, great colors and HDR content looks amazing. Why the 3 stars? The bad: this is my 2nd set already. The first set had a bad screen uniformity where the screen had a bunch of grey bars all across the screen that were very noticeable in bright scenes. I exchanged the TV for exact same model. Guess what? The new one has exact same screen uniformity. It's visible and super annoying. This is a 65" monster which is wall mounted. Huge hassle to take down and go through another exchange. I think I'm out of my 15 day return/exchange window with Best Buy so am probably stuck with it. The TV could of been fantastic, but same screen uniformity issue on 2 different sets killed it for me. I don't think I'll be purchasing another Vizio product again.

Easy, quick start up. Beautiful, bright, QLED-like colors for a decent price. Picture quality was near perfect ultra HD even during streaming. Color and brightness was intense. I appreciate the remote being simple without a ton of confusing or useless controls. I did return this tv only because the 65” was too big for my living room. *This tv does not have a ‘voice’ button on the remote.

I spent $1,000 on this TV and it’s just okay. The picture is awesome but god for bid you try and use the smartcast. The smart cast feature is the slowest, most frustrating operating system of all time. It’s truly remarkable how slow it functions. I use my Xbox to do anything on the TV to avoid the frustration. Also, it randomly shuts off at times. I’ve done a factory reset probably 10 times in a few months to try and correct the issue. I’ve tried everything. Aesthetically, it looks great and has a great picture. It’s basically like the cutest dog in the world that is pretty well behaved, but he goes to the bathroom in the house 3 days a week.
