I bought a 4K 65" Vizio M Series last year for close to 1000 black Friday week. I can confirm Vizio 4K is a GREAT value.

I have this same TV. Got it from Amazon.com for $1199. Great TV.

4K TV's can be had for as little as 250 at wal-mart. I don't know about lag or if it has HDR, but it's a good size.

 

[RealityCheque]

Check out the Hisense range that is just starting to become available. They're a big Chinese brand, sponsoring Euro 2016 at the moment. Getting some decent reviews and cheap prices (55" 4K HDR for £500)

Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

I've seen them before but only thought they were clone sets, wasn't sure how they'd measure up for gaming.

Vizio P series (2016).

I'm really enjoying mine I got the 50 inch on sale for 799 at Best Buy a few weeks ago. The picture quality is really nice for the price of these sets. The black levels are so good at first when I would have an all black screen I thought the tv was off.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Wow, really surprised to see that vizio is considered a good brand now. I used to think of it as Walmart trash.

They're okay now but they're still by far the most returned brand we have at work. Reasons tend to differ and obviously, the P series is still too new to give a good measure of R/E rate, but... yup.

I'm personally waiting until next year to upgrade. The tech will be better, the prices will be lower, and the content will be in a better place. The plan is to buy UHD Blu Ray combo packs now to future proof my movies, and then get the best value 65" or bigger TV out in 2017 when Project Scorpio launches. The current state of 4K content doesn't justify jumping the gun on tech that should be in a better place next year.

Kills me that the 50" doesn't have 120hz native panel for 1080@120hz. But that's just because of monitor usage as a PC gamer for me. It's the only reason I don't own one as the 55" has an IPS panel which means I have to go 65" for 120hz and VA and I can't justify that price nor find space for it.

Would also like to know this.

Active LED zones, Refresh rate, clear action being the biggest differences. The P series has double the amount of active LED zones.

 

[I Eat Thumbtacks]

Wide Color Gamut as well.

 

[Calm Mind]

I personally would wait until Black Friday or Digital Monday. The deals on 4K televisions will be worth the wait.

ahh, i have a Sony kdl-70w850b that i got last year, and just want to make sure that whatever set i eventually replace it with won't be inferior in any way.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

It's below 20ms. We don't know for sure if that's the case when in HDR10 mode (no patch adding this released has yet), but the Dolby Vision mode let's you turn on GLL (Game Low Latency), so I would assume the HDR10 mode will do the same once that's released.

Cools. Well it looks like I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

[JustenP88]

I'm already seeing some pretty nice prices on SlickDeals. I figure I'll be able to get some dope shizznozz on the cheap this time next year.

 

[Lexxon]

I picked up the Sony 810C 55" for $800 on an eBay deal back in February. It does native 120hz via HDMI from my PC. I've barely used it since moving, but it's super cool to have that option.

No HDR though, so I'm not super futureproof...and I haven't really pushed any 4k content to the TV. Waiting on my 1070 upgrade to push it from my PC.

 

[ShutterMunster]

I'm probably jumping on the P series for one room and the 65" LG OLED for the living room, and leave it there for the next 10+ years.

 

[elcuervo75]

Sams Club has a Samsung 55" 4K with HDR for $698! They just got them in, 2016 model.

I plan to get one once I sell my 46" 1080 Samsung.

I'm curious what model is it?

 

[quesalupa]

Vizio P Series has it all.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

All of you are talking about great 4K TVs and I'm just sitting here in Mexico seeing how everything is way more expensive and are older models here

At least my job pays me in US Dollars

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Not as big as I'd like it to be, but no complaints with quality or sound or nothing, it looks amazing.

 

[mohsinkhan]

What kind of refresh rate is ideal for gaming?

 

[amdb00mer]

There is a pretty good site for researching display lag for TVs and monitors. It should aid you in your search.

[NotSmartEnough]

Just got a 55in UHD HDR Sony KD55XD8599 to replace my aging 42in Panasonic GT30 plasma. They are very new, so not many great deals, but I got one for £1300.

Very happy with it. I was worried about black levels coming from plasma, but I've been pleasantly surprised.

 

[airjoca]

What's the viewing distance? Depending on distance 4K might be irrelevant.

 

[Adam_Roman]

My brother got his 65" 4k TV for $700. It was a floor model from Costco. If you know where to look you can get one for cheap.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Question: how to people feel about refurbished TV's. Because there was a Vizio p series 60" for 1000 dollars. Fucking great deal of true so if refurbished TV's are fine I will jump on it

 

[Peltz]

Wait until there's enough 4K content that you want to view. It's only going to get more affordable.

 

[MastaKilla]

I have a Sony KDL-55900A from I believe 2013. It's probably too soon for me to upgrade to a 4K tv though. I'm thinking one more year, I still love my tv now. Is an upgrade really worth it right now?

I'm surprised at all the Vizio recommendations. Last time I was shopping for a tv, the experts seemed to think they were subpar but decent value.

 

[Dubz]

I found a Sony 65" XBR900C for $1250. I think I'm getting it.

 

[Trojan]

Can someone give a quick rundown of what content (outside of games) you can get on 4K at the moment?

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

Can someone give a quick rundown of what content (outside of games) you can get on 4K at the moment?

UHD Blu Ray and 4K streams from the likes of Netflix. Those will be your main sources of media content at 4K.

 

[phant0m]

Another +1 for VizioTV. I paid $899 for my M60-C3 in December

 

[Leon S. Kennedy]

Fry's has a 65 inch 4k TV for 899 today.

 

[Menitta]

To people saying Vizio P Series: How's the input latency?

 

[j0hnnix]

If it's the pany cx it's not worth it.

 

[DieH@rd]

Did Del Boy sold you that TV?

 

[TURBO1112]

I usually sit between 3 or 4 feet away from the screen when gaming. Currently playing on 42 inch screen. Would be interested in that size again. My question is is it worth it to get 4k for a TV around 40 inches?

 

[iclash]

Recently got a Sony Bravia x810c 55" 4k through Ebay for 800, doesn't have HDR but for the price I'm ok. Great picture, huge step up from my 1080p Vizio. Slickdeals.net is a good source for tracking TV deals.

 

[Vuze]

Everybody vouching for Vizio and they don't sell their TVs in Europe
Will try 4K gaming once my 1080 arrives at my brothers 4K TV and depending on how impressed (or let down) I feel, I'm kinda in the market for a HDR 4K TV too. So what's the go-to models in Europe?

 

[RowdyReverb]

If you sit that close, probably yeah

 

[nillah]

4K TV for under a 1000 yeah when 16k drops lol

 

[Havel]

To people saying Vizio P Series: How's the input latency?

17.7 ms in Game Mode.

[spawnsniper]

I got a samsung 55 inch 4k led smart tv for 800$ after 10off cartwheel app and it being on special at target. They said they were having father's day specials as well.

 

[MazeHaze]

Just picked up a Sony 55 inch 850d. Not the greatest black levels around but has hdr and can be set to 120hz at 1080p for pc gaming. Its 1299 but still a pretty good deal, 2 year financing interest free at BB too.

 

[tapedeck]

For people saying the Vizio.. Anyone know if the input lag is as good as Sony TV's?

I just bought a vizio P series 65", input lag is VERY low and picture quality is fantastic.

 

[Goodacre0081]

why buy one now when this is no content?

 

[GraceflAnger]

Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

I've seen them before but only thought they were clone sets, wasn't sure how they'd measure up for gaming.

Hisense also manufactures Sharp TVs now.

 

[darkazcura]

It's not too much of a war IMHO. You've got Sony and Samsung who are heavily involved in a film industry with companies mastering their films on their Displays. So pretty much physical media is on the side of HDR10 which is what deemed as "Premium" by the UHD Alliance that was forms last year. Meanwhile you've got Dolby Vision which is a chip that can allow TV's with and WITHOUT a 10bit panel to map out the color correction on their screens even if they don't meet the qualifications for what really is HDR in nit levels. By which there's a clear distinction.
I love listening to the conference calls for Sony, Samsung and LG because it's really a lot of damage control they tell their reps to say about the others technology, LG being so gung ho about Dolby Vision and Samsung and Sony talking down about it.



I think the majority of people at my store have negative things to say about the Brand, the only time I'd even recommend a Vizio 4k is if the other TV they are looking at is a Westinghouse 4K.

Seems like almost everyone in this thread and a ton of review sites go against those negative opinions. Do you have a reason why you (and your coworkers?) have such a negative opinion against Vizio? Interested because I have heard nothing but great things about the brand over the last three or four years.

 

[Speedwagon]

PC gaming? I also heard it improves 1080p content visually.
