Best Buy has readable specs page.
Here is link to M6, page has quick tab to M7......I see no difference.

Also, this has an always on mic for voice activation.

M6 is about a 300-350 nit panel with no local dimming. M7 is a 700 nit panel with local dimming. Those features add cost. Whether it is worth it is up to what the individual wants.

7.7 Mixed Usage

The Vizio MQ7 is good for most uses. It performs best in dark rooms, like for watching movies, because it has a fantastic native contrast ratio for deep blacks. Its FreeSync support, low input lag, and quick response time make it great for gaming. It displays a wide color gamut for HDR content, but it doesn't get very bright in that mode to make highlights stand out. It's decent for watching TV shows and sports, but it has narrow viewing angles if you want to use it in a wide seating area.

PROS
Fantastic native contrast ratio.
Decent SDR brightness and reflection handling.
Can cast anything using Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay.
FreeSync VRR support.

CONS
Unremarkable local dimming feature; causes some blooming.
Narrow viewing angles; even worse than other VA panel TVs.
HDMI 2.0 inputs and 60Hz panel.

7.3 TV Shows
7.3 Sports
8.0 Video Games
7.8 HDR Movies
7.9 HDR Gaming
7.7 PC Monitor

Objective measurements would say that the Vizio M7 would be noticeably better for picture quality. X81 is IPS without local dimming so low contrast and blacks will seem grey. However, X81 would have much, much better off-angle viewing for say a family room. Sony is also noted for much better calibration out of the box so less fiddling around to get a good picture quality.

The Vizio m65Q7 would be the better sets here, especially for $150 less!

Looks like the Costco model (M65Q7-J01) is the 2020 version and the Best Buy model (M65Q7-H1) is the 2021 version.

The Costco version does not appear to have an always on mic.

That's backwards... the "J" series is the 2021 model and the "H" series is the 2020 model. BB does however carry all the other sizes of the M7 2021 "J" series (50", 55", 58", 70", 75"), but for the 2021 65" it's the M6 model only... as is linked in the post to which you responded above.

The X90J is better but it's also double the price. A better comparison would be the MQ7 and the X85J.
