Don't waste your money on these. They are $2k each and the image is well below standard for a LED TV. I had 50+ of these to work with and the only consistently was their inconsistency.

what was inconsistent about them?

So say you had X of them all in a row showing the same source. None of them come even close to matching. I had one that was always more red than anyone. They would decide to adapt to the content and changing the backlight drastically.

Let's take the menus for example. Some had brightness values from -5 to +5. Other were -20 to + 20. For me that's a difference of course and fine adjustments.

Turning off the adaptive technology in the menu didn't really defeat it. If the content suddenly had high contrast, it would still attempt to adjust and make a more neutral image. Making us have to manually turn that feature off again.

Yhea, that would suck trying to get all of them to display the same. Surprising that some of them had different menu options as well. A call to Samsung, since you own 50 of them, may warrant a nice on-site response and calibration.

I was on the phone with them for an hour. They remoted in to a couple and did some fiddling. Still didn't fix the problem. What's cool is that you can adjust the color temperature of Red, Green, and Blue independently, it never stays true. That's what I'm really trying to get at. You can calibrate it to colorbars, grey scale, what ever you want. Then once you change to regular content, it changes all it's settings internally with the values on the menus remaining the same. Then you'd have to go and calibrate it again.

The wife and I went back and forth on our TV Brand I wanted either a Samsung or Sony, she wanted a Vizio. We looked for days at all 3 brands and went with the Vizio 65" (I forgot what series we went with) all I can is both Sony and Samsung really need to step up their game if they want to corner the TV market.


FYI I always thought Vizio was a shitty Walmart brand, I could not have been more wrong in my life.

Vizio is #1 for TVs =>65"
Vizio is #1 for Smart TVs
Vizio is #2 overall for TV sales in US.

Vizio is good.

Visio isn't a manufacturer.

"While Panasonic, Sharp, Samsung and LG all make their own panels and assemble their own HDTVs, Vizio makes nothing. They buy LCD panels and parts from outside companies and relies on third-party factories, mainly those owned and operated by the Taiwanese company AmTran, to assemble these parts into TVs. Vizio earns thin margins for its dealers and itself, relying on warehouse clubs, Target and Walmart for sales volume."

Visio isn't #1, more like #6

"1) Samsung in both LCD and overall sales
2 and 3) Sony or Panasonic (can swap places depending on the quarter)
4, 5, 6 and 7) LG, Sharp, Vizio and Toshiba (can swap places depending on the quarter)

+1 on the Vizio. It's our living room TV.

Did you try turning it off, then back on again?

I raffed pretty hard about this.........

This is from 2010. A lot has changed in 7 years.

When they come down in price my next TV will be an OLED, Organic LED. No back light to bleed through. Each pixel is an active source. When they are off all you see is pitch black. Brilliant colors and infinitely better contrast range. Check one out when you can. It appears that the Samsung QLED is meant to confuse consumers until Samsung comes out with an OLED display. Don't fall for it.

We're very happy with our vizio led for nearly 5 years now. Never a single hiccup.

This is a vizio tv review thread, right....?

Yes, but it's time to upgrade to a 2016+ model so you get the cool new UI and have access to even more apps :)

Ask me how I know.....
