VIZIO - P-Series - 65" Class (64-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV

i just got the Vizio 65" Ultra 4k and love it! I shopped extensively online and ended up getting a super deal from BestBuy and couldn't be happier. Thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly staff made my purchase easy along with great financing. I'm very pleased in the bang for my buck!

The very first day Netflix was unusable because of an image deformation. Suspecting of a needed firmware upgrade I tried to find the manual update option with no luck. Called Vizio and their best advice was to call Netflix. After playing and tweaking I took it back and exchanged it for another to find the same problem. This led me to the conclusion that it was a bug to be fixed later and decided to keep the TV anyways. In fact, the problem was corrected after a couple of hours being off during which a firmware upgrade took place. By the way, there is a way to update it manually, but the option is buried and cryptic. Go to Menu>System>System Information, go down to the last item: Service Check and hit OK. The TV image is really nice after adjusting the Calibrated setting. However, there is a noticeable lag in LED dimming during fast changing scenes. But you need to look a little carefully to see it. My set was working very satisfactorily until two months later a reddish tint appeared all over the screen. This was especially visible in dark backgrounds and with low room light. Also, the dynamic contrast went down a lot in performance. Tweaking, restarting, factory resetting, etc, etc, made no difference. Vizio requested pictures of the issue. You can see two of them here. Because of the camera sensitivity the red tint looks some more intense than in reality. To their credit, Vizio decided to send me a replacement in a quick and painless process. I have had the new one for only a day and hope it goes much better now. Because of the many good reviews for this TV and my completely good experience owning Vizio devices so far, I think that I must have gotten an infrequent lemon. So I’m still giving this set 4 stars (5 would have been too much even without these problems) and hoping that my replacement will last many years.

This was purchased in June. Iy was a beautiful picture while it lasted. It is now September and the screen is going dark. It looks like reverse strobe lights flashing dark with dark lines across the screen. Sometines it goes completely black but the sound is still going. Have 2 other Vizios that are great and have had way more usage. There were a few quirky things right after we set it up but they went away until it went dim.

I love this TV and it has been very easy to navigate through. I only have one con, I wish Vizio would add a browser. Other than that I'm extremely pleased!

Very easy set up. Amazing picture clarity and sharpness. Incredibly bright with amazing contrast.

I've been very surprised by this TV. You would think a 4k TV at this price may not be worth considering but I have been amazed by everything this "entry-level" TV can do. Before I bought the P Series I bought a 65 inch LG 4k TV and was disappointed with its lack luster performance. I love LG as a company but I felt that the picture quality was grainy, it had a lot a ghosting, and there was no real upscaling to speak of so I returned it and waited for the P Series to come out, thankfully I was rewarded with a very capable TV for less money. I ended up getting the TV, a Vizio 5.1 sound bar (which is excellent) and two rear speaker stands for the same price I paid for just the LG TV and this TV out performs it to boot. The Vizio does have a couple quirks which others may have touched upon but all of them can be solved with firmware updates which I'm sure Vizio is working on because they seem to truly care about support for this TV. I've called Vizio customer service once or twice with questions and they are very friendly and knowledgeable, they seem to know about most of the quirks and they have said that their engineers are already working to fix them.

Last year I purchased an open box Vizio 50" M-Series 3D Smart TV from in store. At the time I was NOT a fan of Vizio products since I viewed them as bottom tier brands such as Westinghouse, Sanyo, TCL, etc. Since I wanted a new TV for my living room, I decided to give the nicely discounted M series a try, I was immediately impressed with the color and contrast accuracy of the display. After calibration the only better flat panel I've seen that's magnitudes better is the famed Panasonic VT60. So of course soon after buying that display and reading about Vizio's 4Ks at CES excited me. The 60" P Series arrived yesterday, the delivery crew went ahead and inspected the TV prior to delivery. After they left, I followed Buzzard's calibration settings from the AVS forums and setup the day and night settings. Immediately after, I've checked out Casino Royale on Blu Ray. The blacks were silky smooth on Bond's jacket on the opening sequence where everything is shot in black and white. The following scenes were equally impressive with brilliant colors and range. Next up is gaming, I've built a HTPC/Gaming pc with gtx 760 SLI graphics cards; unfortunately, those cards are not hdmi 2.0 compliant thus 4k at 60hz isn't possible until I get a GTX 970 or 980 or radeon R290x. However, at both 1920x1080P and 4k 30hz fonts are sharp and clear, with no major scaling artifacts. Honestly, it reminds me of the displays on a Retina Imac or a MS Suface Pro 3. Shadow of Mordor looks quite sharp with amazing contrast, and depth of field. The depth of field is so dramatic, it's almost like playing with a 3d display! Overall a MUCH BETTER experience then playing with either my 27" Asus monitor or my year old Vizio M Series which happens to be a 3d tv. A few important things to note, HDMI #5 is the only HDMI port that's HDMI 2.0. All other ports are HDMI 1.4 spec. Meaning all ports will provide 4k video, however, hdmi#5 will allow 4k at 60HZ. For me that's not a problem since the only device I have that's hdmi 2.0 compliant is my AV Receiver (Marantz SR5009) where that will give me an additional 7 HDMI 2.0 ports! I'm assuming most people shopping for 4K at this time will have upgrade plans or are in the process of upgrading various components in their home theater. Also, each version of the P series uses different display technology! BE WARNED! The 60" and 70" uses a VA panel, whereas the 55" and 65" sets have IPS Panels. The 50" may have either technology, thus make note of the model number. Unfortunately, on Vizio's website it appears they've copied and pasted the same specs for both 50" models listed. You may need to dig through the forums or call Vizio for the details. Essentially, IPS provides clearer wider off-axis viewing angles, and extremely accurate color gamut. However, contrast on IPS panels are not as good, thus not as well suited for low light viewing since you may get bleed and blooming. This will be well suited in a bright environment where you may look at the tv from the sides instead of dead on. VA panel versions provide better contrast and faster response, making it better suited for night time movie viewing, and games. Also reviews and settings for IPS versions of this tv cannot be directly compared to the VA versions. Personally I'm happy to have purchased the 60" version over the 65" because of my uses. I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any!

Bought the 65" Vizio P to replace a 58" Samsung plasma (3-4 years old). My primary usage: live TV over the air, PC gaming, movies/shows on Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon Vide, Hulu Plus. I don't have cable or satellite. Having owned this and playing with this TV for 3 days, here are my observations: + 4K display is like retina display - awesome. Watching 4K content on it does for a leap forward. Currently all one can see is only a few shows and documentaries on Netflix, and you have to upgrade to Netflix's $11.99/month plan. Amazon Prime is coming soon, as are dedicated streaming 4K movies services. Will take a while for real 4K content. + Probably the best TV for gamers - period. It upscales 1080p games from PC to 4K and they look simply amazing. Input lag is very low (less than 20ms) on HDMI5 with low game latency mode that seems to have zero negative impact on picture quality. If you are a PC or console gamer looking for a large TV, get this one. It will make you squeal with joy. + 1080p upscaled to 4K from good sources (live TV, blu-ray, Apple TV shows) are like watching native on a 1080p display - no improvement. 1080p shows from Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Youtube etc look slightly less crispy than I remember, but I went to a larger TV so that could be the reason. + Lots of options for picture settings. You have to play around with yours to get the proper "punch" in the picture you are looking for. I am positive that Vizio may not be as good as some TV's that cost an extra $1000 or more, but I came from one of the best plasmas and I am love wi this set. I am still playing around with the settings, tweaking. - Minor annoyance - the local dimming is great as dark scenes are dark as coal while bright scenes are bright white, but you do see the zones getting lit up slightly around small bright spots. Also there is a delay (half second) in zones turning off after a bright spot scene. But you will not notice any of this during normal viewing or gaming - it will only show up if you are looking for it, like quickly moving a white mouse cursor around the screen rapidly on a black screen. + I have audio coming back to receiver via the HDMI1 port that supports ARC and that works well. I never use the TV speakers - they always are pretty bad, and I am sure Vizio is no exception. + This TV supports the fast wireless standard AC, faster than N. But I prefer using a wired ethernet connection. + Smart TV interface is simple (one button access to the usual suspects in streaming apps). + Remote has a keyboard on the back - nice. It lights up in the dark. + Did I tell you that this is the best TV for gamers? It is amazing to play multi-player games with seemingly no input lag, which improves your reaction time. + I got this at $1499 from Best Buy. What a steal.
