VIZIO PX65-G1 P-Series Quantum X 65” Class (64.50" Diag.) 4K HDR Smart TV

Great TV, easy to set up, very good picture.

This TV has a great picture and meets all the stats advertised. Remote works great and has a great feel. About every fifth time you start the TV you get an ad that tries to redirect you to some paid service. It takes several clicks to back out into your content.

GOOD:- Quantum Dot technology produces the widest color gamut of any TV in its class.- FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) produces deep blacks and very bright highlights, even in real viewing.- Overall, very good picture quality, which includes HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support, and 11-point White Balance adjustment.- Very fast refresh rate, motion handling, and blur reduction; great for gaming, due to low latency.- Modern industrial design that makes it an elegant addition to any Living Room.BAD:- Very poor off-angle performance.- Noticeable blooming effect.- Terrible Smart interface.SUMMARY:To give you a bit of context, before I purchased the Vizio, I had two iterations of TCL's new Mini-LED, 8-series, in a 65" size. The only benefit that the TCL has over the Vizio is better "blooming" mitigation. While I say that though, it's not all good. That blooming mitigation is due to an aggressive algorithm that tapers off blacks VERY quickly. What that means is that there is a propensity for the TCL to "crush blacks." So, the easiest way to see this is watching "Our Planet" on Netflix, wherein the scene with the planet Earth rotating, the TCL will crush out twinkling stars because the pinpoint white speck is considered artifact against the blackness of space, so the processor just blacks it out.If it doesn't make sense what I am saying, that's bad. You will lose nuanced detail in dark scenes, which the TCL often does. But this isn't a TCL review, you're saying...Correct! The difference with the Vizio is how this set handles scenes differently (and better) than the TCL. Vizio's picture processing algorithm is more in line with the industry-leading Sony LED-LCD TVs. Had I not had the TCL and the Vizio set so close together, I wouldn't have known what I was missing. I was missing a lot. The Vizio does an incredible job of displaying HDR content. Popping rich colors. Deep blacks. Bright brights! It really is an amazing display.Compared to the TCL, it does other things a lot better. Motion handling is a LOT better. Consistency across formats is much better. Color reproduction is better. The Vizio provides just a better picture over and over. You're guaranteed a great picture no matter what you're watching.When you're watching the TV straight ahead.Off-angle viewing suffers tremendously. Now, to caveat this, this is a problem with ANY VA-type panel. Bigger panels from Sony and others have off-angle mitigation mechanisms. This Vizio has one too, which darkens the blue sub-pixel, but it's not enough to overcome the backlight. Off-angle viewing can often look cloudy; this is most apparent when viewing SDR (or, standard dynamic range; as opposed to HDR) content, and is more affected by poor streaming/compression artifacts introduced by different services (SDR content on Amazon Prime look worse than SDR on Vudu for example).SmartCast leaves little to be desired. While I am getting more and more used to it, I have a Roku stick on the TV as a backup. It's also perplexing that something like Google Play Movies isn't an app on a TV that is running a skinned version of Android TV. But that's not all negative. Because the Vizio is running a skinned version of Android TV, Vizio can update SmartCast at any time, adding features, etc., whereas Sony or Hisense are dependent on Android TV updates from Google.The last thing that I will say here, going back to the TCL comparison, is build quality. My first 8-series TCL TV had 5 stuck or dead pixels, and a grossly "dirty screen effect" (seen with a grey uniformity test pattern) where there was a big black splotch right in the middle of the display. After returning that display, I got a second one, which was, honestly, much cleaner, with regards to DSE, but there were more than TWICE as many stuck or dead pixels. In my opinion, that's not okay for a 21st century consumer electronic, particular when it's a "flagship" device.The Vizio? No defects out of the box. And to be honest, I've had three Vizios and all of them have come defect free. That's pretty good for a brand that went from being a budget brand, to a value brand, to now, competing with other high-end brands, like Sony and Samsung.RECOMMENDATION: Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a LED-LCD, Q-DOT, FALD TV set.

I’m not to impress with it. I was inspecting more.

This happened 2 weeks after unboxing.

I have had this TV for a couple of weeks now and am very satisfied. I have been doing a side by side picture quality comparison to a 64in Samsung PN64 F8500 plasma that I bought about 5 years ago. According to most experts the F8500 was the best TV made until the introduction of the OLED by LG. I do not own an OLED and they are the highest rated TVs you can buy, if you are willing to pay the price. OLEDs are still a bit pricey so I decided on a 4K QLED, which can also be quite expensive. Of course I can not compare 4K material as the F8500 is a only a1080P TV. I made a similar comparison about 4 years ago with Vizio's first 4K TV, the P-Series 4K (2014 model). After a thorough comparison I decided to return the Vizio as the Samsung F8500 out performed it in every way. At that point I decided to give technology and marketing a little time to catch up with plasma technology. The Vizio Quantum X is a different story. It has taken four years but Vizo is now making a high end TV at an affordable price. As long as you provide the Quantum X with a 1080P source signal it really performs well. One category in which the Samsung F8500 looks better in is when you only have a source signal of 720p or 1080i such as a cable TV signal. The cable TV box I use has a 1080p upscale feature or I have used a stand alone up-converting video scaler between the cable box and TV so as to provide the Quantum X with at least a 1080p signal and cable TV programming looks as nice as the F8500. The Quantum X also has a much smaller sweet spot when viewed off angle as do all LED/LCD screens when compared to OLED and plasma TVs.I have watched several 4K UHD Blu-ray movies and the picture quality is really good. I have also viewed about ten 1080p Blu-ray discs and the 4K up conversion done by the Quantum X is really good as well. Considering the 4K features I can say the Vizio Quantum X is equal to or out performs the Samsung F8500 in almost all categories. Affordable technology has finally caught up with plasma TV. I am not an expert and do not have proper testing equipment, but the experts have concluded that if you were to buy a QLED TV of equaled performance made by any of the other QLED TV manufacturers you will pay as much as double the price. I am glad I watched the reviews of this TV on RTINGS.com, CNET and Digital Trends. If you are a Vizio fan or enjoy a high quality picture, for the price you can't go wrong.By far the Best Vizio TV ever!

The media could not be loaded. Full UHD Color mode (HDR10) looks bad for most content and overall a dim picture! If you have the settings right, the display is competitively bright with great color. If you are critical, motion is not great, blacks are not great but, for 65 inch $1200 beats most other displays. Not sure why the price here is so high for a 2yr old TV either. Get a new model from Costco! Poor active array, degrades color and lots of blooming. Poor viewing angles consistent with IPS displays. Terrible remote and tv os.

I waited a year for the price of this model to go down. I purchased from a large warehouse store in Jan 2020 when the price went way down, and currently the price went way down. Before purchasing I read reviews that the firmware/software wasn't very good. This is true, and I have not been able to use it trouble free to this day. At first the TV would turn on by itself. Now the sound will not go on thinking my Vizio sounder is attached, which it is not. I have a Apple TV 4K and my sysptem with that, the tv, and Vizio sound bar require a lot of coordination to work together. The 4K picture is very good, and regular HD is OK but not special. If I had to do it over I would consider a different manufacturer with trouble free firmware and controls.
