    Might not be the best thread, but I assume there's other Vizio M65 owners in here.

    As of late some of the apps on my M65 are being super unreliable. Prime video app won't work (but can stream through built in chromecast). Netflix app won't work or cast. Crave can cast through chromecast. Google play movies has stopped working through built in chromecast.

    TV is hard wired to modem, connectivity and speed are fine (30mbps when tested). Have done soft reset, as well as unplugged power from TV overnight, no change.

    Anyone experiencing this? Any tips or suggestions? If I can't get this to work, I'll try vizio support (their troubleshooting was useless), and if all else fails, probably return it since I got it from Costco. Not being able to rely on the apps on a smart TV is a pretty big shortcoming for us.
    I'm completely against built in apps. I have yet to use a TV where the experience is optimal. From clunky UIs, to missing features (no 4K or HDR support on some apps on a 4K HDR TV) and of course slow updates which progresses to no updates after 2 years. Not to mention having to relearn the interface on the next TV, even with the same brand because it's a new rewrite on a new UI that makes it even more sluggish for stupid features. If they sell these TV's with zero smart features and save me some cash, I'd be happy to do so.

    Save yourself the headaches and just buy a streaming device for each TV. Your sanity will thank you.

    have you checked if there are any software updates? not sure how to do that on a vizio tv but i'm sure it's pretty straight forward
    Yeah checked for updates already. Currently wasting time troubleshooting with Vizio phone support, listening to some call center lady ask me to repeat all the steps I already did/not listen to the answers I'm giving her.

    Yeah with the time I've spent on the phone and dicking around with this already, I could justify getting another external chromecast.

    Don't expect them to be cheap till at least a few months after availability.

    I bought another chromecast ultra this aft.

    The question now is, my TV is "broken", is it worth returning to costco to try and get something better for the same price now? Or is there even something out there better (and available) for around the $1k mark?

    I need a decent quality 43" to buy now, use sparingly, and sell later to the nicest people in the world. I have a strong dislike for Roku TV. How is the Sony X800H at Costco? What should I get?

    What are you using it for that the Roku installation would affect you?
    I'm currently using the Amazon TCL 43" Roku @ $299.
    It literally just jumps into HDMI1 when I turn it on (it's a setting to go to previous input)

    I bought returned a Roku TV back to Costco after using it for 15 minutes. Absolutely hated the laggy interface. Additionally, its theme color was purple and I am not as much of a fan of that color as the mayor.

    The new TV will be mounted a little higher, so I thought the IPS on the Sony would help. It's a tough call between that and the Samsung Q60. I may hook it up to the computer once in a while. PiP would be very useful for my probably clinically diagnosed ADHD.

    I can't help with your issue, but I would suggest buying something like a Fire TV 4K stick or Nvidia Shield and using that rather than any smart TV features, it's just a night and day better experience and they are extremely reliable. Every smart TV I've ever seen has garbage for an OS / Apps compared to a dedicated device. The Smart TV section of my Vizio P Quantum is a nightmare.

    Chromecast UHD is good too but I find a physical remote is better for general use, which is what you would get with a Fire TV 4K stick or Nvidia Sheild.

    EDIT: Sorry I just noticed you got something already

    I love my Roku stick ... but I'd never use a Roku app on the actual TV. Almost every TV's native apps are always trash. Just buy a external player and never look back.

    was just looking at that same thread. Not sure if any Costcos in calgary stock this so probably a long shot but definitely hot if you can get your hands on it.

    PX75 available refurb here for 2400. Wondering if any remaining PX75 inventory starts showing up now as their value will be toast in a few weeks.

    As per the post, its just that specific location is clearing them out at that price. All other locations are full pop $1099, and you can't price match other locations as the pricing is store manager specific. Otherwise, I'd be leaving work early right naoooooooooo to go buy a new TV

    P not PX.

    If that was PX pricing, I'd upgrade my guest bedroom TV just for the deal haha.

    Should be seeing cheap 65 and 75 inchers now. They finished off the fab 10.5 factory and it just makes sense to move from 55.

    Vizio's 2021 lineup US pricing is out.

    OLED (Available Fall 2020)

    $2000 OLED65-H1
    $1300 OLED55-H1

    Quantum PX (85 Available Fall 2020)

    $3000 P85QX-H1
    $2000 P75QX-H1
    $1500 P65QX-H1

    No clue what Canadian prices look like yet, but it's typically way more than the exchange rate. These are MSRP prices, and they discount quite heavily soon after launch. If I had to guess CAD prices sweet spots on sale...

    $2700 OLED65-H1
    $1800 OLED55-H1
    $4000 P85QX-H1
    $2700 P75QX-H1
    $2000 P65QX-H1

    Good deal, Japanese built vs China built? But F models are 2018 built so 2 years old, H models are 2020 built but not much discounts on them

    65" for $1298 after discount and $100 card

    I saw the TV in Deerfoot Meadows. I don't know if they price match online because they usually bake in $100 of delivery costs in there. You could do the old buy/return Costco carousel.
