The P-Series holds its mainstream approach, with 64 zones of LED backlighting and a built-in CPU with two CPU cores and four GPU cores in sizes of 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 inches. The custom Vizio design handles all the processing and per-pixel tuning needed to work at that high resolution, and the TVs even support the latest wireless tech like 802.11ac, and 4K streaming from sources like Amazon and Netflix when it's available. Vizio's most striking assault however, is planned at the extreme high end with its Reference Series. Consisting of two models -- a 65- and 120-inch versions -- they promise all the features of the others, plus an upgraded 384 zones of local dimming, Dolby HDR tech for unprecedented lighting and color quality, and an integrated 5.1 soundbar (with wireless subwoofer).

But there's another new Vizio series that won't be priced aggressively in any way, shape, or form; the company's Reference Series. Simply put, these are the best TV panels that Vizio has ever produced. The Reference Series is aimed at videophiles and "custom integrators," a good sign that you'll never see these at your local Walmart. But they're far and away the most impressive TVs Vizio has ever produced. The company says they were built from the ground up after over two years of dedicated R&D. Yes, they're 4K-capable, but the real star of the show here is High Dynamic Range (HDR).

Comparing prices for Sony's & Samsungs 4K TV's
If I had to take a guess, I would say
The 50 inch Visio 4K TV would be around $2,000

Fam, you have countless brand name only ninjas that fail to realize that most LED, LCD televisions are manufactured in only a hand full of facilities throughout the world. Same parts, by the same people but if it doesn't have the company badge that they want then it is automatically a shit product.:smh:

Companies love simple cats that go to war over brand loyalty. I learned this a long time ago.
 
Yup the Visio E-series is the cheaper line
But the M-series is the fuckin truth...
MUCH higher quality than what Vizio was just a couple years ago.
Materials used to build the casing are on par with any of the other major manufacturers out there.

Check the specs & reviews on this 55 inch Visio, for less than $1,000

:yes::yes::yes:
 
This is why nobody was buying the Packers tickets. Who the fuck wants to sit in 10 degree weather with so so seats dealing with traffic and paying crazy prices for food.

I always hated Vizio's ugly ass remote.

:yes:

But I use the cable remote anyway. Only thing I use the Vizio for is for Netflix

Sony and EA Sports with that fucking shit licking Madden game...both products that are supported by sheep. There's nothing wrong with buying a Sony product, but when you start putting everything else down because it isn't Sony, then we have a problem.

That is a negative. Vizio opened up in CA, in 2002. All Vizio are supplied by Taiwan Amtrans, designs / manufactures by Amtran China or out source TV maker. Amtran may select Samsung Parts / LCD display for Vizio TV(some models) use Samsung 'parts' do not mean the TV is designs or made by Samsung.
 
hmm....anyone who really wants a 120" image could always just get a projector and a 120" screen for around $1000-$1500 :dunno:

The 4K reslolution would make you want to throw your projector into the ocean. I have two awesome assed LED TV's and had to check myself quickly. I saw that damn 4k rez and wanted one immediately. I'll wait until the price falls. My two TV's are gonna be ridden until the wheel fall tha hell off...

This isn't correct. AmTran, which makes most of Vizio's sets use a lot of Samsung components, but if you use that logic to say that it's a subsidiary of Samsung, well it's also is part of LG since AmTran gets most of it's LCDs from them.

Most of the budget sets, that actually is trying to compete with the high end undercut by using older components. And being fair, the Reference series where most of the improvements mentioned in the story will be will likely NOT be sold at Walmart or other discount stores, it's aiming for the high end market.
 
Interesting,but....as much money as I have spent in audio systems,their built in sound bar does not interest me.
 
60hz?????

It's the max that HDMI 2 can do.

Right now 4k is similar to how HD was circa 2001. Some sets are available, some that are even reasonably affordable but there still isn't really a lot of content, existing components and cabling either does not exist or has limitations and two or three years from now may become unsupported.

Last year the limitation was that 4k had to be 30hz, now it's 60hz, but the content out is upconverted from 1080p or 2160p and HEVC is still largely unsupported by most other components. Give it time.
 
has anyone had any experience with 1080p on a 4K Tv? Hows the up conversion?
 
give it a few years. when flat screens came out they were 2k - 4k. in 3 years they were 1k. and better quality.
