Mmmkay SlickDealers. Here's the go:

*****CURRENT AND FORMER MILITARY ONLY****
You'll see the price only when you log in. Screencap included below.

This TV was the smaller version of the $120,000 ridiculous monstrosity that was the 120 in Vizio reference series. It's a 2015 TV and to be clear it may or may not have a software upgrade that allows it to render modern HDR formats [avsforum.com]. But at the time it was the first to have Dolby Vision built in.

IT IS...STILL about 4-5k online everywhere else. So from that perspective, it is an interesting proposition for the price. Personally, I'm going to grab the 65 OLED that goes on sale on the 27th but...I suspect this might make in interesting '2nd Tv' for those current and former members of the US Military that enjoy multi-AV urinating contests. Or those that like to flip merch on eBay to the unwashed, non-researching masses.

Here's some links for fellow A/V nerds to investigate:

So, this tv sounds interesting, but... It sounds like it's... Well, deprecated. Pointless. No? What am I missing?

The p65 by Vizio would have a better picture, no?

Thumbs up from me. The list of features is impressive. 384 zone local dimming with quantum dot color. I have both an LG OLED B7A and Vizio P series from 2014. While the picture is noticeably better on the OLED, the Vizio is still a contender and has given me a lot less heartache regarding flaws in the screen. My vizio is only a 64 zone FALD, I'd bet 384 would be a sight to see in theater environment.
