Also the 65" 1499.99 apparently they someone fixed 4k 120hz vrr. Also they said that its HDMI 2.1 full 48gb .

I had this tv it looked awesome no problem with brightness since my room is light controlled .
only problem was Motion was crap , i was watching Mandalorian and there was this episode ship in space looked choppy.

Waiting on LG cx to drop another 100$ if not i'll go back to the vizio.

Bought it at bf from Best Buy for $1499.

I concur, motion is crap. I really dislike the TV. In addition it absolutely sucks for reflections, my TV is in my living room and really can't handle picture well at all if a few lights are on.

But it was a cheap OLED!

Anyone looking to buy I'd recommend you wait until next generation of TVs.

For those saying the motion stinks wouldn't investing in a nvidia shield resolve that? I think it is worth paying up for the LG CX or a Sony A8H personally. However, if you already have the Vizio, the shield should help by handling the image processing as opposed to whatever video processor the Vizio has.

Oled looks great, but Vizio is just bad/cheap quality.


Save yourself a headache and get the LG BX or CX.

Costco still has the 55" CX for 1349.99 with an extended 3 year warranty (5 years total) + $100 Hulu credit. Vizio is cheaper but uh...I'd get the LG all things considered.

I second this. Bought the LG CX for $1350 on Black Friday from Costco and I love it! I recommend getting the CX over the BX because it has better brightness. I have had zero brightness issues with the CX. In fact, it's too bright when it's all the way up. 4k content is fantastic. If you play video games it's insane how nice it looks. I have a ps4 pro which only displays checkerboard 4k and 30fps for most games but still looks incredible. Can't wait to upgrade to a new system.

Yea I'm hoping they fix the motion. It's not good. I turned off everything and have Plex outputting 24p and the frames almost look like they have a ghosting effect. Sub par.

LG Oled is just a bit more and worth it. If the Vizio was about half the price of the LG I might consider it.

Can someone here shed some light on the the real-world risk of permanent burn in? I intend to use the TV as a monitor for HTPC/gaming PC pretty much all the time (I have no other source). As such, should I just avoid getting an OLED or are there ways around it? Maybe set screensaver time to 30 seconds?

Rtings seems to put a 2.0 for every OLED tv, including the LGs.

I have both an '18 LG Oled and this 55" Vizio. Happy with it for the $900 I paid on BF. Getting to 1300 or 1400 is ~50% higher, not my idea of "a little more" though this isn't quite the BF deal.

It's a decent price, but the thing about OLED is, the people who want an OLED generally want "GOOD" picture quality. You're investing in something that could potentially have burnin (unlikely I know and I don't even like to talk about it too much since they have good mitigation) and expecting great quality, and then have poor other features/issues.

1000 is OK if you know you won't care, or will return if you do care, otherwise, I think the BF price or lower is better. $900 is a good deal. $800 or lower, and yes, definitely worth it.

At $1000+, 1.5 years from now, you'll be sitting there looking at the imperfections wondering why you didn't pay slightly more to not have to deal with them.

I would wait for it to hit 899.99 again. It is a great TV for the price. I have a Samsung Q90T and picture quality is on par with that (Q90T is a lot brighter though). I do hate the Vizio smart software. It is very cluttered and buggy; I have to reboot my tv once a month. I wish there was a way to customize the homepage like Samsung and have only apps that I use on there.
