The P9 P65Q9-J01 looks like a LOT more TV for $899.99.
https://www.costco.com/.product.100835548.html
120hz Refresh Rate (Dynamic Motion Rate 240)
1200 nits
210 local dimming zones
https://www.vizio.com/en/tv/p-series/P65Q9-J01



Compared to this M7 with 32 dimming zones at 60hz and 700 nits, the latter is likely/partially why people complain about the HDR being dark. The 120hz works better with 24 fps which a bit of movies tend to be in (120/24=5 which doesn't make for partial frames like 60/24 does).

My experiences: My 2019 M8 (M658-G1) has 90 dimming zones, 60hz, and is 600 nits and could definetly be a lot brighter, movies with lots of dark scenes I often choose to watch in SDR mode. While the M7 is 17% brighter, I think having a third less zones might be a wash. I think in 2019 when I was looking at the P9, it was more like $1100 or $1200 and so then I was looking at the 75" for $1600-ish. I decided to go with the M8 for $600 and wait a few years for the tech to get cheaper for the bigger models.

If all you have is $600, then this isn't an option, but if you're comparing between the two and have the $900, it's got a lot of benefits. If I could pay $300 to upgrade mine, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Here is rting's review
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews...antum-2021
Says this VA panel has good contrast and freesync but poor local dimming.

Costco says this has hdmi 2.1 and 60 Hz refresh.

Not sure about this exact model but I got a Vizio m series 2-3 years ago and I am kind of regretting it. Picture is pretty good but the software is terrible. Slow and laggy as all heck practically unusable sometimes. It's been decent as a dumb monitor just using a Apple TV and ps5 but even then I been getting issues with input switching. Have to restart it sometimes because it won't recognize my ps5 sometimes. ( and no it's not the hdmi I tried 3 different ones and different ports same problem) idk might just be a lemon but next time I am just going to save up for a high unit maybe go oled.

The P Series Quantum is not the same TV it once was.


I have one of the 2018 65" P Series Quantum TV and the biggest benefit is it can get BRIGHT

2000 nits


I have it mounted opposite from 3 windows in my living room with auto-brightness turned on (in a calibrated dark mode) and the sun through the windows cannot outshine the TV.


The biggest complaint with the 2018 PQ series TVs is Vizio is not mindful of software bloat. My TV is sluggish as a doornail with all the crap they've added.

You have to assume the same will happen with current TVs.


The deal I got at the time was $1400 with a $400 DELL gift card, which I used on a 50" V-series 4K Vizio TV for the basement for $450 that came with a $200 gift card. I then used the $200 gift card on a 40" V-series 4K Vizio for our bedroom for $250 that came with a $50 gift card (the $50 I used on a Nintendo Switch game). The V-series were 2019 models with a new CPU and do not have the software bloat issues (yet)

Quote from jazyje :
Any deals on 70 or 75"?
Of course not. They know I'm looking for a 75" and it seems neither warehouse club carries the 75" Q7. Every time I get a new TV (typically when my prior one dies right after the warranty ends) it has to be 5" bigger, so anything under 75" is too small this time.
Quote from luckylefty88 :
Q7 is trash
Then I must like trash.

Reminds me of "I've never seen garbage eat garbage before. Excuse me, sir, you're sitting in my favorite seat."

Add me to the list! I loved my KS8000 for several years but now it's got some weird circles eminating from the bottom center and just started exhibiting two faint horizontal purple lines across the middle.

Hate to get rid of it but...it'll be time soon. It's over 5 years old so...meh, I guess. I've got a 14 year old Samsung plasma that's doing just fine.
Our KS8000 just randomly died the other night in the middle of watching a show. Full vertical banding across the entire screen. I took it apart and sure enough, resistors 043 and 044 were burned out (discolored and melted the tape over them). LOTS of folks with the exact same issue. I'm going to give replacing the resistors a shot, but it's a real shame. I bought a 77" 2021 model Frame last year that is pretty bad in our moderately bright living room (lots of reflected light), so after the KS8000 dying and the Frame being a letdown, I'm done with Samsung.

Considering PQ9 someone shared above as a replacement for the KS8000 if my attempt at soldering doesn't revive it . . .

I bought the 55' from Best Buy on a Daily Deal for $529 in November. I LOVE this TV. the picture is crisp and the blacks are BLACK. the response time on the built in apps is suberb (I even have an Apple TV).. the ability to airplay directly to the TV is a game changer. Finding a better QLED at this price is going to VERY hard to do.

I've had two M-Series Vizio's die in the past five or six years. Not sure the three year warranty is long enough to try again...
I got a refurnished M series from 6 years back at Walmart, still going strong. It's all luck of the draw really

Looking at the reviews, the Hisense U6G seems to be better reviewed at this price level. I'm waiting for 65" to hit $500 again.

The VIZIO has AMD Free Sync and Dolby which the LG does not..I don't have first hand experience with the LG but the vizio looks like the much better value for the price it's being offered at

My 55" KS8000 is still going strong. The CPU definitely feels dated, so I caved this year and put it on a ROKU box, but other than that I'm not sure why I'd consider upgrading yet. I got it in 2016 so almost 6 years old.

4k60 is already too much for the ps5. Unless you're playing eSports, most won't notice. If you are playing eSports, go OLED all the way.
