I don't think Vincent typically gets things from Vizio as he is based in the UK and Vizio don't exist in Europe.
They might fly him over, but COVID has meant a lot of those review events haven't gone ahead.
Something to do with the cost of transportation to Canada with not enough units sold I think
We can just hope that it's going to end up being temporary during the pandemic. Coming from a 2017 65" Vizio, I think Vizio would be the only company I'd want to go with in the future.
rtings review for the Vizio P Quantum X (LED) tvs are up... reading through it now https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/p-series-quantum-x-2020
Assuming the VRR gets fixed, my new TV will be either this or the Samsung Q90T.
I only use my PC with my TV, and there's no way I can babysit all of the static elements of the PC on an OLED set. Especially with my wife and kids that wouldn't understand.
I read the review. It looks like a good TV, but the bugs affecting the VRR does not sound good. Hopefully Vizio puts out a firmware update to fix the problem.
$2000 is unreal, are these expected to drop in price over the coming couple years as the tech becomes more ubiquitous or is this always going to be enthusiast territory?
It'll drop. Hell, I bought a Pioneer Elite Kuro 50 inch for 4500! LOL!
So this is super cheap for the tech and size.
Yea, it also seems to be very early for HDMI 2.1 features, so these should be patched over time.
I was feeling a bit low early on about going with the TCL over this but the rtings score isn't that different and the price difference on the 55" set is so large.
After reading through the review I'm content I went TCL but this sounds like a quality tv if you have the extra $650 to spend on a 55".
I think the fact that my R635 doesn't seem to have the bloom or banding problems the rtings set had puts it about on par with the Vizio for me. Although I'd love the extra nits the Vizio has. I'd also certainly consider picking one up from the 120z standpoint as well

Would you take the vizio over a Samsung 80T? At 75 inches, the 80t is ~$700 more. The 90t is even crazier increase.
That red tint issue looks pretty bad imo. That gray uniformity screen is fucking gross
Woah, didn't even realize the 90t's were that expensive. I must have been looking at the 80t prices.
I need a 65", and my budget it $1500 max. I'll probably decide around black friday. Hopefully that will be enough time for Vizio to fix VRR and see if other reviews notice the red tinting.
Which TCL did you go with? I'm looking to get a solid 55" in the very near future. TCL as a brand has definitely caught my eye.
I'm surprised the 55" costs exactly the same as the LG C9 (and the 65" is actually more expensive), though I guess the C9 is sold out in a lot of places and the deals are more recent.
I was gonna get this tv. I thought it released earlier this year and I got tired of waiting for it and went with a Q80t. Other than peak HDR brightness (which the Q80T is already bright enough for my room) I think I picked a good one. It's especially better for next gen machines, framerate and response time.
The R635. So far I love it. It's my second TCL set and it's head and shoulders above the P607 I had previously. The motion interpolation is a little wonky at first (verrrrry slight soap opera effect) but I didn't notice it after a night or two (black bar insertion setting helped too). The blacks are inky as hell, the contrast is great. Fantastic implementation of HDR with super high nits, although not as high as the Vizio. Pound for pound it's the best mid budget UHD tv around. I much prefer it's upsides to the Hisense. It can also handle 120hz like the Vizio but unfortunately only at 1440p
Not really a a great review (in terms of quality of a the review itself), but they like it: https://www.reviewed.com/televisions/content/vizio-oled-oled55-h1-tv-review
I can deal with the lack of brightness and I'm used to Smartcast wonkiness. This looks like a great budget OLED.
He had to get it shipped across (and pay an obscene amount to do so lol)
Lol! love his videos :-)
To borrow an old meme:-
Try to find a partner who looks at you, the way Vincent looks at an imported Vizio

Yeah he managed it, we spent ages trying to work out what voltage converter we needed. I've not had to worry about that since the days of importing consoles
Isn't the LG CX only $200-$300 more than the Vizio OLED at the 65 inch tier? Is there any reason not to go with the CX at that point? Better smartTV software, better speakers, better brightness...
I just bought an 86" UHD LG TV. It is actually getting delivered today lol. I would have bought the Vizio 85" OLED for 3k in a heartbeat. Oh well! My TV has all that other technical crap and was $1500 cheaper so I'm not going to sweat it.

No way a new 65" OLED is going to be $1000 in 3 years lol. Maybe $1500.

The 55 inch is 100 dollars off on Best Buy. I ended up going with a 48 inch CX as it fit better in my space, but by all accounts the price to quality on these sets are great.
Bought a P65X last year. Picture quality is great, but a month out of warranty, the main board crapped out. Luckily, it was an easy swap once I managed to find the part. Anecdotal experience, for sure, but it makes me think twice about considering Vizio for future purchases.
So are all 4 hdmi ports 2.1 or just 2 of them? I've seen both stated. The Vizio person who answers questions on Best Buy site says all 4 but I'd like confirmation from someone who owns it.
Was hoping for a bigger screen.
Still would have to see it in person to decide unless reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

I have the 2016 p series. Besides requesting a traditional remote be sent, I haven't had to deal with support as I haven't had any issues. Support sent the remote without issue. I'll be getting the 65oled for sure
This 65" OLED is replacing a 2013 Vizio that I've owned. No issues with Vizio, personally! The display got destroyed months later at a party and Vizio replaced it with few questions asked, which still surprises me to this day.

Honestly, Vizio has a pretty poor reputation from a hardware reliability standpoint. What I CAN say though, is about 6-7 years ago I had one of their 75" sets die on me almost a year outside of warranty, and they sent me a brand new replacement, no questions asked. So that was great, but I don't know if that's the norm or if I just got really lucky.
VRR issue resolved. Testing it on my brothers Tv right now. Issues in gaming are gone:

I just wanted to highlight a few updates for our new firmware in addition to the ones noted above.
As noted, we've made some gaming improvements to VRR playback on HDMI as well as HDMI/VRR verification issues. We've enhanced the support for 4K/120hz resolution for next-generation game consoles as well as the Nvidia graphics card RTX30 series.
We've also increased the Judder Reduction default from 0 to 2 in Bright Mode to give the image a smoother appearance.
Your TV will update automatically. To see if you have the new firmware, you can go to the Menu and select Admin & Reset, then select System Information to see the firmware you're currently on. You can manually check to see if the update is available from the Admin & Reset menu and select the "Check for Updates".
We will provide additional updates and answers on a regular basis going forward. You can always reach out to our customer service team at 1 (855) 833-3221
