VIZIO - 75" Class P-Series Quantum X Series LED 4K UHD SmartCast TV

I purchased this TV under my wife's account but putting this review under my. Let me start by saying I was very excited for this TV to be released. I've been wanting to purchase this set since 2019 but decided to wait since I seen the "2021" version would support my future gaming needs. However as mainly purchased this TV for movie watching. I have ovwr 200 4K blu-ray's and counting. Before this set I had a 2015 Samsung 4K 3D tv. This TV was amazing however the brightness started to fade so it was time to upgrade to a newer set. I more of s brightness person rather than perfect black levels so OLED was out of the for now. Not getting another Samsung TV for awhile since they're trying to push 8K on everyone by putting all there best tech in the 8K models when theres barley any true 4K content out at this time and them not wanting to support all HDR formats. So I seen this and its up to 2800 nits of peak brightness. I did some research and watch Linus Tech Tips YouTube pre-production model video review and had some doubts. But I seen they were suppose to release this on Aug 2nd but delayed it so figured they were trying to fix issues that were prevalent at the time of that review but boy was I wrong. This TV looks Atrocious at times. I've uploaded a few pics for reference l. Take a look at the pic from the movie Alita. This is a movie that looks great during daylight and bright scenes but when it gets to dark scenes it just crushes the picture completely. With brightness set to 40 during daylight scenes this TV is supper bright and the HDR pops but when the night scene happens you cannot see anything. The TV defaults the brightness to 50 but when you raise it up to that the picture is completely washed out and unwatchable. Linus said that this TV would blow competitors such as TCL and Hisenese out of the water, let me be the first and tell you that was a lie. I recently picked up a 50inch 2020 Hisenese H8 and this TV is great. Shockingly enough it has outPerformed the Vizio. When setting the backlight from 49-50 for some reason it seems as its going from 49-70. All detail is lost and picture is washed. I have 2 4K blu-ray players. A Panasonic ub820 and a Samsung M-9500. The Samsung player is practically unusable. This TV appears to have an issue with HDR 10 and 10+ content. There's alot of judder, ghosting, and grain. You name it and it does it. My Panasonic does fine with Dolby vision but also has issues with HDR. Also, on some movies have these white lines at the edge of the black bars. Example is the piggy scene from toy story. Let's get to just regular blu-ray movies. This Tv is abs when it comes to blu-ray's. I uploaded a pic of The Hobit. Look at all of the juddee grain and ghosting in this pic. This not just this scene or certain scenes its thought out the whole movie. I have yet to watch a decent looking blu-ray. At times this TV shines and looks like a powerhouse, but more often than not it doesn't. Movies like Jurassic World, Avengers End Game look breathtaking. Now was i expecting OLED level blacks and detail? No, but i was at least expecting this to beat out my $389 Hisenese and my 2015 Samsung TV. Almost like mention from linus the built in apps seem to lose quality no matter using ethernet or wifi. You can tell when the picture degrades. Gaming. This Tv looks horrible with games when auto low latency and game mode is turned on. I play alot of COD but the input lag does not seem to be that great. The Hisenese also is outperforming this TV in that as well. Even my 7 year old son could tell the difference which is bad. In all this TV has alot of potential. Like I said with some movies this TV is a game changer but its processor can't handle all content. Maybe i got a defective pre-production unit or maybe they are not finished with the updates but I can't hold onto this TV any longer. I've had it for 3 days and will be returning on Sat. Think I will be converting over to an OLED but but will take a At the 75inch Sony X900H before I decided purchas the Sony A8H or LG CX10.

Although I haven’t had this tv very long I’m enjoying getting to know everything it’s capable of doing. So glad I waited for it!

Easily the most future-proofed tv in 2020. The brightness of this tv is absolutely unreal. The first time I put it on the wall, went to Netflix, and started "our planet" in Dolby vision, my jaw was on the floor for an hour. I had no idea a tv could be so immersive, and I'm coming from a 2017 4k hdr Samsung. If you haven't seen Dolby vision on this tv, you haven't lived. I'm a gamer. I got it for the next generation consoles. HDMI 2.1, 4k-120, freesync, earc, hdr10+ & Dolby vision. There's really no contest. Even gaming on the PS4 pro, which doesn't handle hdr that well, is a totally new experience. The tone mapping technology can adjust to get the most out of any hdr content. Gaming is more responsive than I've ever felt. Things actually happen right when I want them to. Great input lag. The HD upscaling is instant and it looks like 4k. Smartcast is fast and responsive, contrary to previous years. This tv has such pure blacks, which is something I was really interested in after my other Tv always having static artifacts in darker colors, and obviously the peak brightness is just insane. The movie watching experience is where this tv shines brightest. I would put it up against any Oled, and it certainly blows away the other 3 big US TV companies' products this year. Customer service for both best buy and Vizio have been quick, and able to answer any technical questions I had about setting up the TV to my sound system and setting up the smartcast app, since I did everything myself. The CEC on this tv recognizes everything right away and names it. Truly an amazing experience. I'm happy every time I turn it on, and the aluminum frame with basically no bezel, looks beautiful as well. I tried to add pictures, but all of them were over the picture limit, so only one went through.

I was really excited to finally get my new HDMI 2.1 capable TV! This is also my first true HDR TV. This was purchased in preparation for the upcoming game console releases this holiday. In the pros- - The overall the picture quality is amazing when displaying Dolby Vision or HDR10 content. Breathtaking colors, really dark blacks, and very bright highlights. - The apps are well designed and the interface is fast! There are plenty of free content apps too. Amazing for cable cutters. - Built in Chromecast works great. Haven't tried Airplay yet. - The overall design is beautiful. The bezels are super thin and I love how the logo is embedded in the lower right. - The ports are perfectly placed with the main ports facing down and some additional ports on the side to make them easy to quickly connect something temporarily. Amazing product design and thinking on Vizio's part. - Can't beat the price for the capabilities. HDMI 2.1 capabilities all seem to be working although I can't test 120hz just yet. - Plays nicely with my Denon AVR-x2700 There are a few negatives and bugs to be aware of though. Hopefully some these things are resolved in the future. - The backlight in certain situations can create a strange halo effect. This mainly happens on gray backgrounds with bright spots, like when the YouTube logo shows, there is a massive dark glow around the logo. I've also seen this in Linus's Tech Tips video review. Doesn't seem to happen too much in real video content though. - The mounting holes are low on the TV. The mount was already installed and this TV sits much higher (about 8 inches) on the wall than my previous one. Why not have the holes closer to the center? Not a huge problem, but annoying. - If you are using a Harmony remote, this TV model isn't yet available. You can use the previous model (PX75-G1), but some remote functions don't work. The dedicated input and power commands don't function. The power and input toggles can be used instead but this can create inconsistent TV behavior. - The TV takes a long time before it will allow you to change inputs after booting up, even in quick start mode. This makes it difficult for the Harmony remote to change to the correct input on power up. - HDR10+ shares the same picture settings as standard HDR10 but is calibrated to be much much darker. This is really unfortunate because Amazon Prime content is HDR10+ and XBOX One games are HDR10 so switching between those sources will require you to adjust the contrast to make the picture viewable every time. Would be great if they stored different presets or they calibrated the HDR10+ so I didn't need to have the contrast set at 100. - The build quality isn't the best. The bezels, while they look nice, are a bit loose and creaky when touched. Most of the TV is plastic. To be expected for the price and a good tradeoff if you ask me. - Missing HBO or HBO MAX. Not a complete deal breaker as you can cast the video from your phone and it works great. I use android, but sure it would also work on iOS. -Sometimes the backlight freaks out and starts flickering. Doesn't happen that often though, maybe about 3 times total. If this continues to happen, I will be contacting Vizio for a replacement. - Sometimes the TV makes a buzzing noise when first turned on and displaying bright content. Seems to go away after a few minutes though. Overall I am extremely pleased with the TV and highly recommend it to those looking to get an HDMI 2.1 capable TV for the upcoming game consoles. Beautiful picture quality at an unbeatable price. Can't really compete with an OLED, but a 75" OLED cost about 7 grand, so can't really complain either. I recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty just in case. Also be sure to get Ultra High-Speed HDMI cables for anything needing HDMI 2.1. This is absolutely needed for the new features to work properly.

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.

Giving it 3 stars because of the fact that when playing Xbox one x, games would flicker and it bothered me a lot. Maybe it was a bad panel but other people noticed it as well, when talking about it on the reddit.com forum sites Other than that the picture and motion clarity watching blu rays or streaming in Dolby vision is incredible. I can stand right in front of the tv and it looked as clear as it did sitting down 20 feet away . Movies look as good just as they did on my lg cx 65” oled tv . If it wasn’t for the tv flickering playing games. I would have never exchanged it out . I do recommend this tv, If you just want a tv for watching movies and shows. I give this tv a 9/10 for that reason. the build quality is not bad, but you have to adjust the settings and calibrate the tv out of the box to get the picture your looking for. But because of the gaming issues I got going on , I had to give it 3/5 stars

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.

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.
