+1 for the R617's. Seen them in person before, they're absolutely terrific TV's that sits above the Vizio M and P series but under their PQ's. Huge bang for the buck.

Does it? Rtings.com has it below the P series.

TCL 65 incher for $728 at Walmart. Roku supposedly is broken, otherwise ok.

I'm just comparing to image quality from what I saw on a demo reel. The TCL's HDR highlights were well above Vizio M and P.

All about HDR for me these days haha.

What would be the difference between

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/tcl-65-.../6000198930247

and

https://www.amazon.ca/TCL-65R617-CA-...=tcl+65&sr=8-1

Is it just the HDR contrast and contrast control zones? How big of a difference does this make? Worth the $500 difference? Usage will mostly be Movies and Videogames (Xbox 1 (non pro) and Switch)

Anyone else have issues with their Vizio P series? When it comes to apps and what not? Sometimes netflix just stops working even when my computer on the networks is getting full speed.

Never had problems like that on mine, I have it on a wired connection though.

I’m wondering if it’s some to do with the wireless card. Mind you it only seems to happen when the wife is working in front of it in her laptop...

Installed a beefy 32" in front of my treadmill today. It was the crappy one that came in my trailer, and since I hate tv's in trailers, it's just been sitting in my basement.

I already had an 4k fire stick from day 1. Did a comparison and found the firestick to be better, not much experience with the tv features other than it was a bit of a pain to get my phone synced up as a remote

I appreciate sunlight intensity and overall brightness because my eyeballs are getting old.

Thanks - I am not sure the price difference is enough to warrant going with the more expensive model (for me) - Still holding out on the M65 though - It's $1199 online, wonder if cash and carry will be less this weekend at Costco

Anyone have a Samsung Frame tv? Damn things are pricy, but look great, would totally love to have this in the family room.

[brucebanner]

Kind of off topic but I have a 70" sharp model# LC-70LE734U that apparently wants to be upgraded. It's not reading any of the hdmi outputs, I've tried different hdmi cords. Tried different sources as well(Xbox. Telus TV etc). Tried to do a factory reset / hard reset with no luck.

From what I've been able to gather it seems like the logic board is the issue.



Has anyone else ever had this issue?

Also, since apparently I needed an excuse to upgrade, best deals right now I may have missed for at least a 70"?

Were putting these in a couple of our high end projects right now. They are crazy good looking (the trim kit is awesome) but super expensive. We want one above our fireplace at home once they come down in price.

I think we are in that spring slowdown where people stop buying TV's. Prices do seem to be dropping.

Been doing some research this week for a replacement and I'm leaning towards:

82" Samsung NU8000 - Rtings 8.1 overall - $3000
https://www.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...sku=UN82NU8000

Other options:
75" Vizio P75-F1 - Rtings 8.3 -$2500
https://www.costco.ca/Vizio-P75-F1-7...100412474.html

75" Samsung QN75Q6FNA - Rtings 8.1 overall - $3300
https://www.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...&sku=QN75Q6FNA

75" Sharp LC75N8003U - $1500
https://www.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...sku=LC75N8003U

75" Sony XBR75X850F Rtings 7.7 overall - $3000
https://www.visions.ca/catalogue/cat...sku=XBR75X850F

75" Samsung UN75NU7100 Rtings 7.5 - $1700
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product.../12334067.aspx

75" Vizio E75-F2 Rtings 7.7 - $1650
https://www.costco.ca/Vizio-E75-F2-7...100412488.html


Pretty sure I'm going to go with the first option as we've all discussed in this thread that you buy the biggest you can. It scores well and I think the price is okay. I've been trying to find a TCL 6 series 75" but haven't had any luck.


Is there anything out there I'm missing? I'm on shift for a few more days, so I have time to look at other options. Plan on buying something Thursday once I get off work.

EDIT: My TV usage is watching sports / video games / netflix / tv

I have the 82 NU8000. I’m contemplating on moving to the 2019 Vizio Quantum 75. Yup, going quite a bit smaller to get much better HDR performance. The NU8000 is pretty flat in terms of HDR, not bright enough for peak brightness in intensive HDR scenes, and no Dolby Vision support so I get stuck with the HDR10 mix for a ton of movies.

I have the same usage pattern as you, and I am definitely watching stuff more on my 65 vizio for image quality.

Did you mean Quantum 65"? I can't seem to find anything suggesting Vizio makes that model any larger.

I'm moving on from my 70" Sharp LC-70LE734U which I've had since 2010 so pretty much anything will be an upgrade. 82" would be better than 75" but both are better than 70". HDR, Dolby Vision are all things I haven't been experiencing since my home theater receiver was purchased at that same time. I've been looking into picking up a new receiver as well since they're come way down in price while still loaded in features, may as well start to experience all the new tech that I haven't been since I had no need to purchase anything just because.
