Fair and honest review for NEXT-GEN GAMING
The picture quality is amazing. I have configured it to best pair with my PS5 since I do not watch a lot of TV or movies. The movies I do watch are older and let me say that this TV does a great job with the 24p Judder (If you do not know what it is then you must have not seen it which is a good thing). On gaming, it is amazingly smooth and responsive, even better than the Q80T my friend has which is more expensive than this TV. The colors and frame rate while gaming are immersive and fantastic. I cannot speak for the audio because I use external speakers instead of the TV speakers. It is a clean device with great power "under the hood". The style of this TV does not pop out in a room which is good for those like me who like to build around a TV instead of building for the TV in their setup. The inputs are are great for wall mounting, but, make sure you have some good and flexible cords if you are not mounting on the wall as it can be an awkward angle for some to connect. Straight out of the box the colors look, at best, 6 out of 10. BUT if you play around with calibration and know what you are doing this is one of, if not, the best post-calibrated TV's I have seen that is not OLED. At the price range it is at for 65", this is the kind of deal all next-gen gamers should hop on if you are needing an upgrade for 120hz. The 55" is obviously cheaper but I would recommend the upcharge to get the extra 10" as it looks adequate in a large living room and it allows for a truly amazing large screen in a game room/mancave. Cons: 1. For those of you who are not great at messing with your TV's settings to gain the most that it has to offer, the out of box video qulaity may steer you away. HOWEVER, go to RTING's.com and look up the TV model and it can give you step by step setting instructions to achive what they think is the best setting for your TV's display. I will add that 85% of my TV's custom settings match up to their suggestions and I have not looked back since. 2. The smartcast is not the most smooth OS in the world. Other OS systems beat this one out of the gate because Smartcast requires some getting used to. For starters, my TV had to be soft reset just to even see the Smartcast screen. After multiple attempts to reset and figure out the OS I finally found the best solution on a troubleshooting forum. Basically: soft reset the TV, once it powers back on check for an update if there is one there, update it. It will restart automatically and should be fixed. If it is still not popping up retry the soft reset then worst case scenario do a hard reset with everything unplugged. It should be working from there but if not call VIZIO and they will guide you. Updates should fix this as mine has been fixed. Despite these two (fixable) cons I stand by my five star rating and will be looking forward to the next product line they have to offer. They match up well against all other major brands in this category of TV's and their price makes it that much better. I will recommend this to anyone with a next-gen console and will update this post if anything ever changes for the worse or better. Read more
