Bought it last weekend, turned out to be a bad TV on the functioning side.
Cons:
Turns on automatically after it being left turned off (especially at night).
YouTube app doesn't work even when connected through Ethernet (shows a black screen when accessing the app and its unresponsive)
WiFi tends to cut on and off (tested with built-in streaming apps, however the issue stops when using an Ethernet connection)
When words or colors are illuminated it leaves sort of a noticeable white glow around it (first time owning a VA panel so not sure if this is normal or just my unit)
Pros:
This TV has a good VA panel. The colors pop (with literally little to no calibration) and the colors are accurate. The blacks are nice and family thinks it looks fantastic when watching at night. Verified 60hz 4K and tested this using PS4 Pro and an Nvidia Shield.
We decided to return it, it's not functioning across the board and we went with a Samsung instead. I can see why it would be on sale. Then again it could just be my unit, however I did see articles on Vizio's website pertaining to the TV turning on automatically when left unused and certain built-in apps like YouTube not working so they appear to be common issues.
Did you by chance see if this behavior was occurring with the TV not connected to the network? I am curious if the TV was performing some update in the background which was causing it to reboot, or if there was some Wake-on-LAN (WOL) packets being sent by another device on your network.
Bought this during BF sale for 599 but then had to return it due to light bleed at the bottom right corner. While I had the TV it was great for 4K content but upscaling was poor when using Vizio native Smartcast. If you are going to use an Apple TV or Firestick it should be fine but it could be annoying as you have to switch inputs after turning on the TV. Great TV for the new price and can even get 3 additional years of warranty for $35 at Costco.

I just got the 50 inch m7 and it is really nice. I replaced the Hisense h8f and it's noticably different. This seems a good price for a 65 inch that the m8 (better) version.

I also price matched at Best Buy, by phone. Easy process. If you're lucky you'll be helped by Chelsea; she exudes enthusiasm.
