Essentially, you could take the gift card and buy an Xbox One S. 50" 4K TV + Blu-ray player/games console for $999 is a great deal.

Update 9/5:

Another deal, this time for a 4K 55" LG TV w/ Xbox One S for $800.

 

[killroy87]

For anyone curious, that's an incredible 4K TV as well. By far the best model for the price.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's tempting. Has Visio's reputation held since thier sale to LeEco?

 

[shinobi602]

Fuck. Tempting...I need a 60-65" tho

 

[scitek]

MOTHERfucker, I just got this TV and Xbox One S in the last week. Great set.

 

[joe2187]

Not a good deal.

Bought same model Vizio with the same specs 55 inch last week for $475 at best buy.

No way it was the same model. Might have been the M-series.

You definitely did not.

Me as well sadly

No fucking way thats the same set.

I call bullshit

 

[tycoonheart]

Same.

The Samsung 60" un60ks8000 is 1500 right now at Best Buy, Costco, Sears. So I might jump on that.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Oh damn I might actually have to get this

 

[schwabdizzle]

I think Sams had Visio 4Ks way cheaper.

 

[scitek]

Not a good deal.

The 50" P-series retails for $999 and supports HDR AND wide color gamut. The M series only supports HDR and is less expensive.

 

[Vuze]

Insane price for that feature list (even includes Dolby HDR) and fantastic deal.
I really hope VIZIO models will eventually make it to EU but probably not considering how long people have been asking for it...

These TVs were just updated to support both DolbyVision and HDR10, though I think the latter is only via HDMI at the moment. But the streaming services supported by Vizio use DV anyway.

Just picked up the 65" of this model. Very pleased with it.

 

[dglavimans]

Not shipping to the netherlands I assume? Would love the Vizio but it isnt here

Ah, Ok.

I dont know what any of that means. So pardon my cluelessness

I had the 50 inch but ultimately took it back for the sleeker Samsung KS8500 (it's curved) The blacks are awesome on the Vizio and if you are a person who watches movies or games in a dark room, this TV is for you.The Samsung just upscales everything much better and I thought the colors looked better.

Vizio does support both HDR and Dolby Vision viewing though. For the price, you are getting one of the better TV'S on the market and the price is just the icing on the cake. By the way, the remote flat out sucks I thought, and the Vizio has no true smart TV capabilities besides it being able to cast what is on the tablet you receive with the TV.

I feel like we're twins, because I did the exact same thing yesterday. Went in and traded my P50 for the KS8500. I wish I had seen this deal though, aaaah.

 

[vicious696]

I'm holding out until Black Friday for that 50 inch Vizio P series

 

[Aztechnology]

This is the P series.

 

[whitehawk]

MOTHERfucker, I just got this TV and Xbox One S in the last week. Great set.

Return and buy this, only been a week. Or price match, threaten to return if they don't.

 

[vicious696]

This is the P series.

I know I'm saying I'll wait until Black Friday for a better deal

 

[netguy503]

Does it do 3D?

 

[bidguy]

do they ship to europe ?

 

[Aztechnology]

I know I'm saying I'll wait until Black Friday for a better deal

I seriously doubt you'll get it. Unless there's a lucky door buster and you stand in line for two days. The best deals have been found outside of black Friday the past five years or so.

why would I pay $999 when I have no desire for a $300 Dell GC? I just want the TV so like I said I'll wait until Black Friday and/or I see stand alone deal for $700

It's August no way there wont be a better deal later

That and a Xbox One S 4k player is a crazy good deal.

 

[Servbot24]

Did this expire? Link isn't working.

 

[Rizific]

Ah, Ok.

I dont know what any of that means. So pardon my cluelessness

If you didn't know what any of that meant, why did you claim you bought a bigger version with the same specs?

 

[BHK3]

Whats the input lag though with all the bells and whistles? 4K and HDR and more Useless Dolby nonsense aside, if you have to have it all turned off just for a game to feel responsive then it's a $1000 waste.

 

[Art Vandilay]

Guys, it's a great set for watching movies/TV but do some research on the input lag. With HDR on it gets pretty bad.

Edit: Beaten, read post above me.

 

[Nipo]

Good deal. For anyone interested keep in mind with the P Series everything below 65 inch has some compromises. The 50" model only has a 60Hz refresh rate and not 120Hz and the 55" uses an IPS panel and not a VA panel and has lower contrast ratios.

 

[EightBitNate]

Working fine for me.

Personally I'd just grab an Xbox with the credit and sell it. But I get what you're saying. I just don't think you'll see the TV go anywhere near that low. I could be wrong though.

 

[digitalrelic]

I believe it's in the 50ms range. Which isn't great but that's one of the lowest of any HDR set available today.

 

[psychotron]

Same.

The Samsung 60" un60ks8000 is 1500 right now at Best Buy, Costco, Sears. So I might jump on that.

Extremely tempted to do the same.

 

[Obliterator]

Fuck. Tempting...I need a 60-65" tho

I'm in the exact same boat. Just waiting for a 4k HDR 65 inch for $1000

Also Vizio has become a pretty great brand. I own 2 different models from them and love both. More than likely when I jump into 4k it will be a Vizio

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I believe it's in the 50ms range. Which isn't great but that's one of the lowest of any HDR set available today.

Yup. I've seen some claiming the Samsung KS8000 (closest equivalent to this set from a competitor) at under 30ms, but Samsumg themselves said it's actually over 80ms. I think this TV is about the best you're gonna do this year for HDR gaming at a decent price. Vizio has been pretty good about post launch support too, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the input lag get a bit lower after they do more HDR optimizations.

EDIT: And for those interested in the KS8000 series... that's an IPS panel with poor local dimming, so don't expect a great HDR image on the set especially in a dark room. The Vizio in comparison is a full array LED with very good blacks and that's necessary for the increased brightness that comes with HDR.

It's 19.1 and 65 with HDR. That's not that bad at all.

 

[wachie]

50" is too small to see the benefits of 4K, pass.

Minimum I'll settle at is 60", ideally 65"

That really depends on how close you sit to your TV. Also, you'll still see the even greater benefits of HDR (IMO).

 

[exmachina64]

This is an amazing deal.

 

[family_guy]

Ah, Ok.

I dont know what any of that means. So pardon my cluelessness

This is why people buying 4k tvs to go with their Xbox One S are in trouble.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

This set is only 60hz as well.

You can notice the difference in 4K on a 5" smartphone...

Edit: Beaten, read post above me.

Yup. If I'm gonna deal with high input lag I'll just try and swing an OLED.

For those that don't mind the input lag with HDR content this is a fantastic set, and using that 300gc to pair it up with a One S as a 4K player is what I would do for sure.

Solid!

 

[thenameDS]

Amazing, shame they don't sell these Vizio TVs here in the UK.
