The brightness of the TV is phenomenal, and the latest firmware update has greatly improved the native apps.
At rtings there is another category 'flicker free' and this Vizio gets a 4.0. From rtings "Unfortunately, this TV uses PWM to dim the backlight, and there is a 120Hz flicker at all backlight levels other than max. This results in duplications in motion, which might be noticeable in certain content.
Although we initially measured a 960Hz flicker on the Vizio P Series 2018 and Vizio P Series Quantum, which is much less noticeable, we have retested them and found that they also flicker at 120Hz now. We don't know when this change occurred, but it was likely in one of the firmware updates over the past year."
It's noticeable to me and that's a bummer because otherwise it looks like a nice deal.

The main problem is dirty screen effect and panel uniformity.
Per Rtings. And you dont want it in the center. That is the absolute worse spot. Most TV have it on the side. The middle is killer. I returned a TV just for that issue.
Decent gray uniformity, but the sides of the screen are noticeably darker. There is also noticeable dirty screen effect (DSE) in the center of the screen, which isn't great for watching sports. I
If we cancel Comcast and go to say, YouTube TV. What is their native resolution?
