I've had the 55" model of this tv (M55Q7-H1) since the holiday season of 2020, this is the most feature-rich tv you could get then for $499. FALD, AMD Freesync, VRR, ALLM, eARC & 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs (4K@60Hz panel). The display is worth that price alone. Semi-matte finish cuts glare well enough for brightly lit areas, 30 local dimming zones & 600 nits is low compared to others around the $500/$600 range. You will notice blooming when captions and menu text are on black backgrounds. The blacks are surprisingly deep without much crushing. Out of the box display is good. Once you tweak the picture settings it gets great. Keep Active Full Array set to medium, high is a bit aggressive. To enable motion control you must disable VRR in the ProGaming Engine option. Sound is pretty bad, (2x10 Watt speakers) turning volume leveling on makes it louder without cranking it. This is worth the money. The VRR on this set even makes SKYRIM on PS3 move butter smooth.
Just got this for $300 bucks flat for the 65 inch at Walmart. They over stocked it and cashier gave me the option and I had to take it. Pictures pretty decent and HBO MAX is on the TV now. Probably the best TV I’ve had for the price. And has composite plugs in the back, which most TV’s don’t have anymore. Pretty happy with this purchase.
Glad to see the review and confirmation of my purchase! :) I've had the M8 version and it's been great. I agree with there still being a little too much red, but I only noticed more in comparison with other TVs. And with minor adjustments while not going on full calibration, it's a great picture for the money! Those extra dimming areas and the updated firmware last month helped a lot!
Bought this TV on thanksgiving deal at Best buy... its pretty cool TV for the price and awesome features - Dolby Vision, HDR, apple airplay, and Google Chromecast built in. Best Bang for buck !!!
@@tonygicz8 The quantum technology in M series has better dimming zones for those perfect blacks.. but if u are happy with the V series, thats absolutely fine…
I got one in November and I'm happy with it for the price. It was less than the TCL 5 series and H8G so it seems like the best value currently. The picture on my H9F is noticably better, however, the Vizio OS runs alot better and isn't buggy.
My wife's old vizio is the only tv in the house with a real-time antenna/station meter that makes setting up an antenna really helpful. It's probably 20 yrs old too so it's still kicking
@@austin31697 The TV has a beautiful display but to be honest me and my wife both game and had to take back both our TV's because of issues. Then my main HDMI port in the one I exchanged went bad. Maybe bad luck or Vizio didn't make these TVs right.
I love to picture on mine, but the smart tv functions struggle at times. It’s a great tv for getting a variable refresh rate. The game mode works great!!!
Thanks for the review! 2 June 2021 VIZIO did release new M Series TVs called MQ6 and MQ7…MQ6 start at $399 and MQ7 start at $749: could you reviews those soon? You wanted a remote with voice control…well they have it now with this new series!…please make sure you review the MQ6 too as I may upgrade from my V SERIES …but I do not have $750 to put into a MQ7 TV now and so if I buy one it will be the MQ6 and so I am very interested to know how it performs….Thank you for your great reviews!
Just upgraded from the m55q7-h1 to the Sony x900h 55. I wasn't sure it was going to be worth the 💰 to upgrade but I was shocked. The Vizio is a great tv, so I will be keeping it but I am glad I have the Sony now. I would still DEFINITELY recommend the Vizio to anyone on the fence. Amazing value for the money 🤑
I like how gaming-friendly the Vizio M-Series Smart TV is. The variable refresh rate plus the mediatek chip really give it that boost in terms of gaming.
It’s better than the tcl! Tcl is perfect for gaming! But doesn’t perform well with sports on tv like football. The m series is the better all around tv.
NOT gonna buy any electronic or TVS since is January...few more days CES start i wanna know what's going to come , F that last year models' & technology ...looking for real nice short throw 4K laser projector to replace my living room TV ,VAVA is REAL nice , i wanna wait for NEW 2021 model & Optoma CinemaX P2 is really nice 2 ....F the TVS these days short throw projectors in this pass couple of years getting cheaper & much brighter & vivid in colors & blks for day light rooms , throw a nice 120" screen with it in Livingroom, u got it made ...who F*n wanna buy TVS anymore!
My customers noted the dirty screen effect on a TCL panel this weekend. They chose to step away from the TCL as I explained this was observed on a number of TCL panels. It seems like TCL has a few quality issues of their own to iron out.
I agree, bought a 65" from Sams club, defective right out of the box, so were the next two they sent me. I finally gave up on Vizio and spent a few hundred more for a Sony X90J. Happy Happy, Joy Joy!
I have been waiting months waiting on the Super Bowl sales. I only watch sports and movies; not a gamer. I want to get the best deal around the $600 range. This tv is the top of my list and sales are getting better and better. Is this the right TV or which is better?
Thank you for posting. I picked up a Vizio M 48” (????) 4K right just as HDR was starting to be announced. I would rate my old model for it’s day about how you rated this Vizio today. My Vizio is right before HDR hit, so I’ll be upgrading to new 4K 2022 probably to go with my Panasonic 4K Blu Ray player. I probably won’t get Vizio again (nothing against them) but move directly to LG’s OLED of what ever type is better HDR real world at that point. When I got my Vizio it was $499 vs LG’s OLED at $1,899 for same size and better image quality. Adjusting the Vizio tv’s with a set up dvd is really helpful, tweaking dimming sections and brightness. It’s decent cheap. I had to buy something due to insurance time limit from a fire and loss of house, but yes I always 2nd guessed my choosing a Walmart Vizio vs a LG OLED even though it was about 3x as much. The new and next gen OLED or Q or what ever promise to be far better.. and honestly with what I saved 5 years ago on my Vizio just about pays for a new LG OLED... and that will be a better LG than I could get 5 years ago.. so yeah, I’m ok with thumb “UP” for Vizio.
I have a M from 2015 that's still rocking. I tried to upgrade to the P Series this year, but had an awful experience; both units came with defects out of the box (scratched panel glass on one, and dead pixel on the other), and the blooming was awful beyond words. Ended up getting the Sony X900H instead. Vizio makes great products but really needs to dial in its firmware and QC.
@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 you have the best tv for the price. If you need it calibrated check out value tech cents UA-cam video. I used his settings with the video entitled vizio basic settings. Picture quality amazing for gaming, movies hdr, hdr 10+,Dolby vision and cable TV.
Short and to the point.....All I do is watch streaming TV, UA-cam, sports and the occasional Amazon movie. Will this TV do the job in my semi dark living room? Thanks for all the excellent reviews, Caleb!
I'm glad that Vizio went with that kind of remote. Not fond of the voice command thing. Vizio is the least smart of the bunch, which is to say the least intrusive. Sometimes you just want a TV, just a TV. Which is something impossible to get now days. If you want a really good display you have to accept all the bells and whistle. Some TV won't even let you opt out. Either accept the Google terms or don't use the TV. Getting a new TV soon and it'll probably be a Vizio or an LG. My experience with both has be very good.
Samsung Q6DT vs Hisense R8F vs Vizio MQ7? Looking for a good tv for around the $700 mark. Preferably 55”-65”. Any thoughts? Mostly used for cable tv a lot of sports and streaming movies. Occasional gaming
I’m looking at TVs in this range. I’m aiming towards the Hisense H8G. I really like Vizio and am curious as to why the VIZIO is preferable too the H8G. Would you elaborate?
I have one very light and barley visible light vertical band streak on my m6 ive read about tv banding. Can this posibly go away over time? As its light 2inch wide very faint?
Hope this helps whoever gets this tv and reads this. The audio is very disappointing out of the box. Like Caleb said, turning off surround sound helps big time. Also, I’ve turned on volume leveling to keep the volume on a consistent level when switching between content (also helps with commercials). I’ve set dialogue enchanter to low (helps boosts vocals when watching Dolby content). And I went into the equalizer and switched it to dynamic (it’s flat out of the box). This setup is “good enough” for me as a bedroom tv. Definitely get a soundbar for the living room though.
I disagree. Virtual X surround sound actually stands out when it's on . I wear a hearing aid and it's helped with an audio volume amplifier app to pick up low tone sounds to my hearing aid. So with Virtual X feature, I'm actually getting more sound experience than without it.
I think most people would buy anything over the lg nano tbh. Unless you're looking specifically for a wide viewing ips panel, even then nano cell is overpriced. High end LG oled is great from what i hear, just not the budget models
My daughter has the Lg sm8600 and I thought it was horrible until I turned off the energy saver. The picture is very good bit black looks gray. Only reason why I notice it though is because of all my homework. I bought her rhe vizio m55q7 for her bedroom
Hey Caleb I got the mvizio m60 I love the color! But I have red banding on black screens . Going to take it back. I want the mseries but I want a 70 or 75.. what do you recommend that’s close to this one. The tcl 6 series , Vizio p .or the hisense h8g 75 or the 85 hisense h6510g... thank you.
Great video and review. I just got mine yesterday. I’m liking mine so far. Only issue I’ve run into is I can’t get the optical cable to fit in properly? It looks different from other ports in that it’s not D shape like I’ve seen before. Could it be my cable is the problem? And yes, I took off the protective caps from the cable. For some reason that was a problem for other people! Lol I’d appreciate any help!
Thanks for the review It made me feel better than you compared it to a couple of other TVs I was considering shows this one for performance overall. Kind of wish you had went in to a little more detail about how to calibrate / setup the TV for a better viewing experience for the non-experienced customer
How is the reliability of the Vizio M7? I’m concerned about some reviews regarding needing to reboot, etc. I’m torn between TCL, Hisense and Vizio. Have considered Samsung, but disappointed with lack of features. I currently have older Samsung without any problems for years, but not sure about the comparable brands.
Not good, since 2015 they have went down hill, i bought one and the plug in (from the inside) went bad, which meant bye bye whole TV. Took it back and got a Sony. Had an older Vizio for 10 years, never an issue. I would buy nothing NEW from them. Stick to Sony, Samsung and LG. Hisense...meh..dunno. They took over SHARP.
the video card depends on the games you play, lot of games these days run surprisingly easy, and games from a few years ago dont take a whole lot to hit 4k60
I have a new Vizio M-656 (Walmart brand). I haven't gone through all the settings yet but the only problem I am having is that even thought I am logged in with my WiFi, it shows I am Disconnected and can't access the other services offered on the remote. Any ideas??
Caleb, I appreciate you telling folks to consider at least a soundbar over the TV's speakers, but realistically have you reviewed any TV that had "decent" sound? Even with features like Sony's Acoustic Surface or LG's Crystal Sound, I haven't heard decent sound. I know acoustic panel speakers work, but in TVS? And then the remote. The first thing I do with a new TV or Blu-ray player or soundbar remote is toss it in a basket and use a universal remote. Even the cable box remote is 100% better. I do admit to using a Harmony remote as my goto remote. Finally, the day I can get a "talk to" remote or TV or speaker to get the content I really want will be a miracle (eg, "please play the oldest episode of X show that I have have saved on my PVR that I haven't watched yet" has never worked for me). Thanks for the videos all the same. I enjoy them all.
When do new models from CES generally become available? I decided to pass on all the deals this past holiday, holding out for more selection of 2.1 OLEDS.
Ok so I have a bit of a dilemma. This is a VERY specific question and the lack of an answer has me in a bit of a major conundrum. In my LR I currently have a Vizio P55-F1 55” I just bought a Vizio M55Q8-H1 55” I know that generally, the P Series is the better line, and has a brighter picture, but now having gotten this New Quantum M-Series TV, I’m wondering if it is close to the same level. My problem is, I’m getting rid of the tv in my room, and upgrading from an M50-E1 due to a bad panel board, (Horizontal Pin Stripe Lines) and it being an older tv with an inferior picture,) The thing is, I want to get to an Atmos/DTS:X Soundbar to add to my current 7.1 system, (My current Soundbar is an old Vizio VSB 202) and the P Series DOES NOT support/have eARC, while the newer M-Series Quantum does have eARC. I want to make sure I can get the most out of superior sound technologies when it comes to adding a Dolby Atmos soundbar. (Yes I realize it will not be the full experience, but I already have a Onkyo 7.1 surround system with a HUGE subwoofer, and full Atmos 9.1 Is not in my current budget, nor does it seem feasible to my current setup. My question is : Will I be sacrificing significant picture quality by putting the P Series in my room, and using the new M- Series in its place due to the eARC feature on the newer TV ? If not, Are there any workarounds for superior sound ? The P55-F1 Is a BEAST, and amazing for watching movies in the main room with family and guests. I’m not sure what to do and will appreciate any help you can give. Thank you. P.S. I’m also trying to decide between the SONY HT-X8500 DOLBY ATMOS and DTS:X and the Vizio M21d-H8R (DTS:X Only)
I had a vizio p series that would turn itself on and off. I had it replaced via warranty, and received the M series quantum. I'm having other technical issues with this TV, such, as sounds not working without cycling the TV among others. Do you have similar issues with the Vizio televisions you test?
For OTA users: Newer models are tuner-free. "If you use an external antenna to watch free local channels, you will need a separate tuner adapter to connect your antenna to the display. There are several alternate TV Tuner/Antenna set‑top‑box solutions available for purchase from various 3rd party manufacturers. VIZIO SmartCast™ P‑Series, M‑Series and most E‑Series models are tuner‑free displays."
I was actually waiting for this review as I just purchased the TV but the 55" variant. It took a lot of adjusting and figuring out what each setting does but I got a picture quality that I am very impressed with given I paid less than $500 USD. I actually anticipated that you might destroy the TV being that once you've reviewed much higher end sets these budget options must be quite hard to watch lol. However I was wondering if I was missing something in the blooming observations because it was performing better then the TCL P605 which it replaced. This set handles blooming rather well and when watching regular content I am not seeing much or any blooming at all. Also for peak brightness highlights in HDR content I found myself very impressed compared to that TCL P605. One scene in Gears 5 Hive Busters DLC there is lava, the brightness actually strained my eyes some and the detail of the lava flow remained visible not blown out. Overall worth every penny given the already great price. Sill some bugs however, HDMI 2.1 VRR feature requires a yet undelivered patch to work properly. There is stutter in gaming when its set to on even though frames are not dropping. Vizio has already acknowledged the issue and says a patch is coming to fix it, but it's not a deal breaker as most games are playing flawlessly at 60 fps on Xbox Series X consoles. Also Vizio advised the next patch will improve local dimming performance and brighter HDR picture, so things may yet improve still. Great review DT!
I also just replaced my TCL with this M7 55”. So far I’m impressed. My current issues is that I can not make the tv work through eArc with my Soundcore infinite Pro Soundbar. Also when I go to game mode the colors look oversaturated so I’m using Calibrated* mode instead, which then flattens colors to much. But so far, for $479 from Sam’s.m, can’t complain.
I got a M55Q7-H1 and returned it in about 2 weeks. Didn't like it at all. The picture was nice when the set worked perfectly. But in the time I had it that amount of time was very little. Constantly had WiFi issues on the set (not with any other device in my house) and it would kick you out of the apps back to the SmartCast menu. Had to use my PS4 for any streaming apps as the Vizio just never wanted to connect. Chromecast rarely functioned properly. Overall was just a massive headache that I wanted nothing more to do with. Returned it and got a Samsung 55" Q60T, and despite some lower reviews, I am much happier with the Samsung.
I bought this TV at Costco for $599 back in May 2020 they deliver for FREE. And I really like all the ports and features. I agree it lacks the voice remote. I am using my old Visio sound bar SB200 which greatly improves the audio and volume. I like the fact that it has built in Apple TV app and Air play and Chrome cast support. Works great with my iPad. The only problem I have is that Blu-Ray movies do not play in full screen do you know why ?
I’ll give it a 8 out of 10 for gaming & yes all of those work using it with my Xbox one X,but we mainly use it for movies... I game on a 55” LG Nanocell 90 & I give that a 10 out of 10 for gaming, but it cost a lot more then 65” MQ7
Yes we do,it’s our main tv in the living room... it peaks out at 600 nits & had no issues with it...I purchased it about 3 months ago & it hasn’t had a break,runs almost 24/7! We had a TCL 5 series (2018 model)prior to this one,but the Vizio beats it in every way... I agree that Sony is the better tv but don’t know if it’s double the price better... if you got the money to spend for the Sony then I would for sure get that one... I wished I had the money to have bought the nano90 for my game room & the 65” version for the living room,but I did get the best tv for the money with the Vizio!
So excited to see the price drops that we see. I'm buying a house and want to upgrade all of my tvs. My newest tv right now is 6 years old so the upgrade is needed
Caleb, Another great video and review. Will you be doing these reviews in the other studio, from the couch? How is coverage of CES 2021 going to go down and when? Thanks. Stay Safe. Happy New Year!
CES coverage starts soon!. We have two studios set up and multiple ways to shoot and we have cameras as LG and Samsung events so we are still getting up close with all the new stuff!
I don't know if this a terribly relevant idea. However, I'm curious what is the best sounding TV out there? Are there any that in smallish room would make someone think a soundbar is entirely unneeded?
I'm having a lot of trouble with my m-series TV on the time when it wants to set it back to 1999 is that common and this TV to keep doing that unlike a weekly or every other week basis
Just ordered the m55q7 h1 for my daughter Hope she likes it Getting it mounted too thru best buy. I looked at the Tcl 6 series Hisense h8g and h9g amd the q70t. I dont trust Hisense and Tcl and the q70t is ridiculously over priced so I went with the Vizio. Again I hope she likes it and I hope she gets a good panel.
The question I've been struggling with is this business of M7 vs M8. Based on the dimming zones, it would seem the M8 is the better buy. You mentioned the M8 is only available through one retailer. Am I right in thinking that retailer is Wally World?
I bought the 50inch Vizio M for my Dads bedroom. I liked it so much I bought the same for me in my bedroom. Don't use Smartcast, I have 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro plugged in.
I just picked up a M55Q8-H1 from Walmart. I went with the Q8 because the 3x increase in dimming zones over the Q7 means that, on paper, it has better picture quality. I have to agree about the sound -- completely wimpy, and the virtual surround mode is almost cringe-worthy, so... like the video says, turn it off. One big disappointment was that the default color calibration was atrocious, with significant magenta bias in the reds. For comparison, the default color on myHisense HU43K300UW was WAY more accurate. Luckily, the color and brightness adjustments on the Q8 were adequate to tone down the magenta saturation, and I'm getting a good picture with the Calibrated mode. Overall this was a decent value, but I was really disappointed by the out-of-box color settings in this mid-range model. I expected better. However, paired with a decent surround system and some picture tweaking, this model makes for a good, affordable home theater system.
I'm on my second Vizio 65-in TV that the light bars are going bad in "the LED strips" I would not recommend a Vizio TV not if you plan on keeping it for more than 2 years
@@oddfellow8366 luck of the draw I guess . Believe me I wish mine would have run perfect but the first one didn't lasted 2 years and my second one it looks like it's the third or fourth light bar down or set of LED strips it's already gone out and usually once one goes out it's a Cascade effect. I really enjoy the picture quality of the TV the first year so they look great for whatever reason they don't want to last at least for me anyways
@@oddfellow8366 actually I've been blessed the Lord has blessed me in my life it's just the visio TV's . Maybe both TVs that I got was made on Mondays LOL I don't know it is what it is I guess
The title says this is the M-6 Model; but at 3:58 he says this is the "M-7" Model :/ I was curious to see how the M-6 performed but now I'm not sure if the whole review is for the M-6 (like the title says) or the M-7 (what was said at 3:58).
Hello guys. Two quick questions: I bought this Tv but haven’t been able to make it work through HDMI eArc with my Dolby Atmos Soundcore Infinity Pro Soundbar. My second question it’s gaming with my PS4 Pro, when I change the Tv to “Game” mode, it oversaturate the colors, so I end up switching the picture mode to *Calibrated, which gives me more natural colors but still lacks a punch on the colors. Any advise from the gamers out there. Thank you all. Caleb Thank you for reviewing budget TVs.
Looking for a new budget tv can’t decide between the vizio m7, TCL 5, and Hisense H8G. 🤔I want something good for movies, Sports and gaming I have the PS5.
I'm on the same boat but I'll throw in the HDR enabled Ultrawide gaming monitor which is too expensive and also and Xbsx/Ps5 don't support the as of yet. Anyhow if you're looking for top notch almost Oled levels of screen colors and the HDMI 2.1 120fps output
Can any tv be mounted or is something like this not mountable? Will be waiting to see what comes next over the next few months but am definitely ready to replace my 10 year old plasma. I was reading articles that a person's eyes can only see so much clarity anyway so I think I'd be happy with an HDR 4k for the next decade or so. Don't care about sound or anything, I don't get a tv for the sound.
I trust this reviewer's opinion is based entirely on the fact that they have good enough taste to used Dirty Loops videos for testing. Most awe inspiring and musically gifted band of our generation.
Just bought this tv in a 50". Kinda wish I would've gone bigger, but oh well. Even right out of the box the picture is a huge upgrade from my old Samsung. Still playing with picture settings but very impressed so far with it.
I had tested the three of them. The Sound on TCL 5 is good, but the TV has dull colors compared to the Vizio and Hisence. Tested the Vizio and the Smart OS was a disaster. It lagged too often and lagged on availability of application. Also, Vizio reliability has always been a problem. So I returned it and got the Hisence H8G. Picture quality of the HG8 is great. I have not notice the Motion problems that Caled mentioned, and I am very sensitive to Motion stutter, I returned a TCL 6 because of this specific problem. The sound on the H8G is ok, it lacks a little bit on the bass area bit it is loud. Both TCL's sounded better. Long story short, I kept the H8G and I am a happy camper. Opposed to what Caleb sugested, I will take the Hisense any day to the Vizio reliability and the TCL is a joke compared to picture quality of the H8G and the Vizio. Just my two cent!
I've had the 55" model of this tv (M55Q7-H1) since the holiday season of 2020, this is the most feature-rich tv you could get then for $499. FALD, AMD Freesync, VRR, ALLM, eARC & 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs (4K@60Hz panel). The display is worth that price alone. Semi-matte finish cuts glare well enough for brightly lit areas, 30 local dimming zones & 600 nits is low compared to others around the $500/$600 range. You will notice blooming when captions and menu text are on black backgrounds. The blacks are surprisingly deep without much crushing. Out of the box display is good. Once you tweak the picture settings it gets great. Keep Active Full Array set to medium, high is a bit aggressive. To enable motion control you must disable VRR in the ProGaming Engine option. Sound is pretty bad, (2x10 Watt speakers) turning volume leveling on makes it louder without cranking it. This is worth the money. The VRR on this set even makes SKYRIM on PS3 move butter smooth.
What are your picture settings?

About to get a 65inch LG CX 😍😍😍
Have you seen Sony’s A9 OLED 🔥🔥
@@haula251 I've had a brief look
What do you suggest?
@@rseyho If you're a gamer, don't bother. It's LG or nothing right now. Also I've had a CX 55" for a month now. no buyers remorse whatsoever!
Don't update the firmware yet. Some problems. Lowers max nits in hdr game mode.
And it's noticeable.
I'm buddy hardcore cod player
I really enjoy your presence. You remind me if Tim Heidecker took himself seriously lol. Don't get me wrong, I love Tim and Eric.
Yes!!!! Someone who knows what Tim and Eric is on this website.
Want to see this Micro Led world in CES 2021 😏😏😏
Please compare the 150k$ Micro LED to this Vizio M Series 🤣🤭🤣🤭
NOT gonna buy any electronic or TVS since is January...few more days CES start i wanna know what's going to come , F that last year models' & technology ...looking for real nice short throw 4K laser projector to replace my living room TV ,VAVA is REAL nice , i wanna wait for NEW 2021 model & Optoma CinemaX P2 is really nice 2 ....F the TVS these days short throw projectors in this pass couple of years getting cheaper & much brighter & vivid in colors & blks for day light rooms , throw a nice 120" screen with it in Livingroom, u got it made ...who F*n wanna buy TVS anymore!
It’s all about quality control at this price point, and this is Vizio’s biggest flaw. I’d choose TCL 5 series before selecting the M7
My customers noted the dirty screen effect on a TCL panel this weekend. They chose to step away from the TCL as I explained this was observed on a number of TCL panels. It seems like TCL has a few quality issues of their own to iron out.
LMFAO!! delusional
Seems of it isnt Sony Samsung or Lg then your pressing your luck
I agree, bought a 65" from Sams club, defective right out of the box, so were the next two they sent me. I finally gave up on Vizio and spent a few hundred more for a Sony X90J. Happy Happy, Joy Joy!
Great job, as always! 👍
I have been waiting months waiting on the Super Bowl sales. I only watch sports and movies; not a gamer. I want to get the best deal around the $600 range. This tv is the top of my list and sales are getting better and better. Is this the right TV or which is better?
Thank you for posting. I picked up a Vizio M 48” (????) 4K right just as HDR was starting to be announced. I would rate my old model for it’s day about how you rated this Vizio today. My Vizio is right before HDR hit, so I’ll be upgrading to new 4K 2022 probably to go with my Panasonic 4K Blu Ray player. I probably won’t get Vizio again (nothing against them) but move directly to LG’s OLED of what ever type is better HDR real world at that point. When I got my Vizio it was $499 vs LG’s OLED at $1,899 for same size and better image quality. Adjusting the Vizio tv’s with a set up dvd is really helpful, tweaking dimming sections and brightness. It’s decent cheap. I had to buy something due to insurance time limit from a fire and loss of house, but yes I always 2nd guessed my choosing a Walmart Vizio vs a LG OLED even though it was about 3x as much. The new and next gen OLED or Q or what ever promise to be far better.. and honestly with what I saved 5 years ago on my Vizio just about pays for a new LG OLED... and that will be a better LG than I could get 5 years ago.. so yeah, I’m ok with thumb “UP” for Vizio.
Super informative and professional! Thanks for your hard work!
I have the M Series from 2017 and Still love it.. Only thing it doesn't really do is 120 HZ. But other than that Picture quality is still great.
I have a M from 2015 that's still rocking. I tried to upgrade to the P Series this year, but had an awful experience; both units came with defects out of the box (scratched panel glass on one, and dead pixel on the other), and the blooming was awful beyond words. Ended up getting the Sony X900H instead. Vizio makes great products but really needs to dial in its firmware and QC.
I have the 2019 m8 series
Yup, I'm still rocking that year too, havent had any problems with it.
@@OptimumSlinky yeah so they garbage if they can’t control quality. same thing applies with drugs lol 😝
@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 you have the best tv for the price. If you need it calibrated check out value tech cents UA-cam video. I used his settings with the video entitled vizio basic settings. Picture quality amazing for gaming, movies hdr, hdr 10+,Dolby vision and cable TV.
Short and to the point.....All I do is watch streaming TV, UA-cam, sports and the occasional Amazon movie. Will this TV do the job in my semi dark living room? Thanks for all the excellent reviews, Caleb!
love all the reviews... keep doing the great work
Looking forward to all the micro-LED CES coverage coming soon!
I'm glad that Vizio went with that kind of remote. Not fond of the voice command thing. Vizio is the least smart of the bunch, which is to say the least intrusive. Sometimes you just want a TV, just a TV. Which is something impossible to get now days. If you want a really good display you have to accept all the bells and whistle. Some TV won't even let you opt out. Either accept the Google terms or don't use the TV. Getting a new TV soon and it'll probably be a Vizio or an LG. My experience with both has be very good.
Samsung Q6DT vs Hisense R8F vs Vizio MQ7? Looking for a good tv for around the $700 mark. Preferably 55”-65”. Any thoughts? Mostly used for cable tv a lot of sports and streaming movies. Occasional gaming
Out of those get the 65 inch r8f
I’m looking at TVs in this range. I’m aiming towards the Hisense H8G. I really like Vizio and am curious as to why the VIZIO is preferable too the H8G. Would you elaborate?
Just bought the tv for the ps5 ☺️(whenever I can get one 😭)
Same 🚤 brother stand strong
I have one very light and barley visible light vertical band streak on my m6 ive read about tv banding. Can this posibly go away over time? As its light 2inch wide very faint?
Is it better to play an app from the TV menu or from an external device? Thank you for the great content
In my opinion I have the 2019 m series and both are good options. The only app that give me problem is the Disney app.
Just get a Roku or fire stick it is only around 40$ and it gives everything you could ever want and no lag
I am excited to watch your coverage of CES 2021 because this may be the year I actually pull the trigger and buy a new television.
Can the stand legs be adjusted closer to the middle for smaller stands? Inner locations?
My Vizio just went out of warranty after 1 yr and I am not inclined to buy another but watching your revirw!
Did your unit crap out?
Hope this helps whoever gets this tv and reads this.
The audio is very disappointing out of the box. Like Caleb said, turning off surround sound helps big time. Also, I’ve turned on volume leveling to keep the volume on a consistent level when switching between content (also helps with commercials). I’ve set dialogue enchanter to low (helps boosts vocals when watching Dolby content). And I went into the equalizer and switched it to dynamic (it’s flat out of the box). This setup is “good enough” for me as a bedroom tv.
Definitely get a soundbar for the living room though.
I disagree. Virtual X surround sound actually stands out when it's on . I wear a hearing aid and it's helped with an audio volume amplifier app to pick up low tone sounds to my hearing aid. So with Virtual X feature, I'm actually getting more sound experience than without it.
Do you think the 50 inch is just as good? Would you buy it over LG Nano 85?
I think most people would buy anything over the lg nano tbh. Unless you're looking specifically for a wide viewing ips panel, even then nano cell is overpriced. High end LG oled is great from what i hear, just not the budget models
Buy this tv it runs perfectly on my Xbox Series X and all my games look gorgeous.
My daughter has the Lg sm8600 and I thought it was horrible until I turned off the energy saver. The picture is very good bit black looks gray. Only reason why I notice it though is because of all my homework. I bought her rhe vizio m55q7 for her bedroom
What would you recommend at the same price point with a better picture
Can't wait to see the review and price for the new TCL 8
There is a new TCL 8 coming out? Is that why Best Buy is out of stock?
Ces2021 super ready!! Hope tcl can come out with a 2.1 hdmi 6 series
Hey Caleb I got the mvizio m60 I love the color! But I have red banding on black screens . Going to take it back. I want the mseries but I want a 70 or 75.. what do you recommend that’s close to this one. The tcl 6 series , Vizio p .or the hisense h8g 75 or the 85 hisense h6510g... thank you.
Great video and review. I just got mine yesterday. I’m liking mine so far. Only issue I’ve run into is I can’t get the optical cable to fit in properly? It looks different from other ports in that it’s not D shape like I’ve seen before. Could it be my cable is the problem? And yes, I took off the protective caps from the cable. For some reason that was a problem for other people! Lol I’d appreciate any help!
StrIght to the point. !!! Home work was done.
For the price and years of enjoyment : great deal. !!!!!
Thanks for the review It made me feel better than you compared it to a couple of other TVs I was considering shows this one for performance overall. Kind of wish you had went in to a little more detail about how to calibrate / setup the TV for a better viewing experience for the non-experienced customer
How is the reliability of the Vizio M7? I’m concerned about some reviews regarding needing to reboot, etc. I’m torn between TCL, Hisense and Vizio. Have considered Samsung, but disappointed with lack of features. I currently have older Samsung without any problems for years, but not sure about the comparable brands.
Not good, since 2015 they have went down hill, i bought one and the plug in (from the inside) went bad, which meant bye bye whole TV. Took it back and got a Sony. Had an older Vizio for 10 years, never an issue. I would buy nothing NEW from them. Stick to Sony, Samsung and LG. Hisense...meh..dunno. They took over SHARP.
I was able to get the 50 inch m series for $298 on cyber monday from costco. I love 4k gaming at 60hz. The only issue is you need a good video card.
Does it have hdmi 2.1 and vrr and allm and 4k @60hz?
2.1 yes, VRR yes, 4k@60 yes, whats alim?
@@stephenvoss6092 idk, but I’m not so sure about vizio, might just get sony x900h 55 inch
the video card depends on the games you play, lot of games these days run surprisingly easy, and games from a few years ago dont take a whole lot to hit 4k60
I have a new Vizio M-656 (Walmart brand). I haven't gone through all the settings yet but the only problem I am having is that even thought I am logged in with my WiFi, it shows I am Disconnected and can't access the other services offered on the remote. Any ideas??
I just bought the m55q6 is it a decent tv? Also do you need a 4K fire stick to get get optimal picture resolution?
Yep 4k firestick
Caleb, I appreciate you telling folks to consider at least a soundbar over the TV's speakers, but realistically have you reviewed any TV that had "decent" sound? Even with features like Sony's Acoustic Surface or LG's Crystal Sound, I haven't heard decent sound. I know acoustic panel speakers work, but in TVS?
And then the remote. The first thing I do with a new TV or Blu-ray player or soundbar remote is toss it in a basket and use a universal remote. Even the cable box remote is 100% better. I do admit to using a Harmony remote as my goto remote.
Finally, the day I can get a "talk to" remote or TV or speaker to get the content I really want will be a miracle (eg, "please play the oldest episode of X show that I have have saved on my PVR that I haven't watched yet" has never worked for me).
Thanks for the videos all the same. I enjoy them all.
This or the TCL 5 series 2020? theres only a $40 price difference where i'm at.
When do new models from CES generally become available? I decided to pass on all the deals this past holiday, holding out for more selection of 2.1 OLEDS.
Ok so I have a bit of a dilemma.
This is a VERY specific question and the lack of an answer has me in a bit of a major conundrum.
In my LR I currently have a Vizio P55-F1 55”
I just bought a Vizio M55Q8-H1 55”
I know that generally, the P Series is the better line, and has a brighter picture, but now having gotten this New Quantum M-Series TV, I’m wondering if it is close to the same level.
My problem is, I’m getting rid of the tv in my room, and upgrading from an M50-E1 due to a bad panel board, (Horizontal Pin Stripe Lines) and it being an older tv with an inferior picture,)
The thing is, I want to get to an Atmos/DTS:X Soundbar to add to my current 7.1 system, (My current Soundbar is an old Vizio VSB 202) and the P Series DOES NOT support/have eARC, while the newer M-Series Quantum does have eARC.
I want to make sure I can get the most out of superior sound technologies when it comes to adding a Dolby Atmos soundbar.
(Yes I realize it will not be the full experience, but I already have a Onkyo 7.1 surround system with a HUGE subwoofer, and full Atmos 9.1 Is not in my current budget, nor does it seem feasible to my current setup.
My question is :
Will I be sacrificing significant picture quality by putting the P Series in my room, and using the new M- Series in its place due to the eARC feature on the newer TV ? If not, Are there any workarounds for superior sound ?
The P55-F1 Is a BEAST, and amazing for watching movies in the main room with family and guests.
I’m not sure what to do and will appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you.
P.S. I’m also trying to decide between the SONY HT-X8500 DOLBY ATMOS and DTS:X and the Vizio M21d-H8R (DTS:X Only)
If you don’t mind me asking what where the problems you where having with your tv I just got this tv and find myself seeing slightly darker lines
Would this M7 series from vizio match the M6 series specifically the 70 inch one ?
I had a vizio p series that would turn itself on and off. I had it replaced via warranty, and received the M series quantum. I'm having other technical issues with this TV, such, as sounds not working without cycling the TV among others. Do you have similar issues with the Vizio televisions you test?
Not so far. The turning on and off thing sounds like a wireless signal issue.
Which TV would you recommend for heavy sports watching?
Great review dude.
For OTA users: Newer models are tuner-free. "If you use an external antenna to watch free local channels, you will need a separate tuner adapter to connect your antenna to the display. There are several alternate TV Tuner/Antenna set‑top‑box solutions available for purchase from various 3rd party manufacturers. VIZIO SmartCast™ P‑Series, M‑Series and most E‑Series models are tuner‑free displays."
Not a terrible thing because OTA tuners are switching from atsc 1.0 to atsc 3.0. Atsc 1.0 boxes are $30 or less now.
@Digital Trends do all 3 hdmi’s support 4k uhd?
Is it worth spending the additional $100 to upgrade from the M65Q6 to the M65Q7?
I was actually waiting for this review as I just purchased the TV but the 55" variant. It took a lot of adjusting and figuring out what each setting does but I got a picture quality that I am very impressed with given I paid less than $500 USD. I actually anticipated that you might destroy the TV being that once you've reviewed much higher end sets these budget options must be quite hard to watch lol. However I was wondering if I was missing something in the blooming observations because it was performing better then the TCL P605 which it replaced. This set handles blooming rather well and when watching regular content I am not seeing much or any blooming at all. Also for peak brightness highlights in HDR content I found myself very impressed compared to that TCL P605. One scene in Gears 5 Hive Busters DLC there is lava, the brightness actually strained my eyes some and the detail of the lava flow remained visible not blown out. Overall worth every penny given the already great price. Sill some bugs however, HDMI 2.1 VRR feature requires a yet undelivered patch to work properly. There is stutter in gaming when its set to on even though frames are not dropping. Vizio has already acknowledged the issue and says a patch is coming to fix it, but it's not a deal breaker as most games are playing flawlessly at 60 fps on Xbox Series X consoles. Also Vizio advised the next patch will improve local dimming performance and brighter HDR picture, so things may yet improve still. Great review DT!
I also just replaced my TCL with this M7 55”. So far I’m impressed. My current issues is that I can not make the tv work through eArc with my Soundcore infinite Pro Soundbar. Also when I go to game mode the colors look oversaturated so I’m using Calibrated* mode instead, which then flattens colors to much. But so far, for $479 from Sam’s.m, can’t complain.
@@JuanGCorredorB i bought ot for my daughter hope she likes it I got my fuutre son in law the asus Omen I think for gaming He absolutely loves it
Hi, I would like to know if I can use this tv for my Mac Mini M1
I got a M55Q7-H1 and returned it in about 2 weeks. Didn't like it at all. The picture was nice when the set worked perfectly. But in the time I had it that amount of time was very little. Constantly had WiFi issues on the set (not with any other device in my house) and it would kick you out of the apps back to the SmartCast menu. Had to use my PS4 for any streaming apps as the Vizio just never wanted to connect. Chromecast rarely functioned properly. Overall was just a massive headache that I wanted nothing more to do with. Returned it and got a Samsung 55" Q60T, and despite some lower reviews, I am much happier with the Samsung.
I bought this TV at Costco for $599 back in May 2020 they deliver for FREE. And I really like all the ports and features. I agree it lacks the voice remote. I am using my old Visio sound bar SB200 which greatly improves the audio and volume. I like the fact that it has built in Apple TV app and Air play and Chrome cast support. Works great with my iPad. The only problem I have is that Blu-Ray movies do not play in full screen do you know why ?
I own it & it’s definitely the best for the money... I connected a smart Sony 4K blue ray player to get the apps they the tv didn’t have
How is it for gaming? Rate it and also does it have hdmi 2.1, vrr, allm, 4k @60hz?
I’ll give it a 8 out of 10 for gaming & yes all of those work using it with my Xbox one X,but we mainly use it for movies... I game on a 55” LG Nanocell 90 & I give that a 10 out of 10 for gaming, but it cost a lot more then 65” MQ7
I’m gonna stick with sony x900H, I’m getting one the 55 inch, I don’t trust the vizio Tv
@@gradyhamilton5966 do u still have ur vizio? How bright is it and etc...?
Yes we do,it’s our main tv in the living room... it peaks out at 600 nits & had no issues with it...I purchased it about 3 months ago & it hasn’t had a break,runs almost 24/7! We had a TCL 5 series (2018 model)prior to this one,but the Vizio beats it in every way... I agree that Sony is the better tv but don’t know if it’s double the price better... if you got the money to spend for the Sony then I would for sure get that one... I wished I had the money to have bought the nano90 for my game room & the 65” version for the living room,but I did get the best tv for the money with the Vizio!
So excited to see the price drops that we see. I'm buying a house and want to upgrade all of my tvs. My newest tv right now is 6 years old so the upgrade is needed
the only tv in my house is 15, but my laptop is only about 3 (and high end for the time) so im fine with holding out a while longer lol
Caleb, Another great video and review. Will you be doing these reviews in the other studio, from the couch? How is coverage of CES 2021 going to go down and when? Thanks. Stay Safe. Happy New Year!
CES coverage starts soon!. We have two studios set up and multiple ways to shoot and we have cameras as LG and Samsung events so we are still getting up close with all the new stuff!
excellent, helpful review for purchase and setup. Thank you.
I don't know if this a terribly relevant idea. However, I'm curious what is the best sounding TV out there? Are there any that in smallish room would make someone think a soundbar is entirely unneeded?
I'm having a lot of trouble with my m-series TV on the time when it wants to set it back to 1999 is that common and this TV to keep doing that unlike a weekly or every other week basis
Thanks. Very helpful.
I just bought this tv. Wanted to see what he had to say about it.
Just ordered the m55q7 h1 for my daughter Hope she likes it Getting it mounted too thru best buy. I looked at the Tcl 6 series Hisense h8g and h9g amd the q70t. I dont trust Hisense and Tcl and the q70t is ridiculously over priced so I went with the Vizio. Again I hope she likes it and I hope she gets a good panel.
Love your show, keep up the good work, thank you.
Great review.....lots of information...thinking about getting this for bed room...55 inch tho using to watch TV & play Xbox One X...what do u think.
I think Samsung or LG

Is this model equipped with Bluetooth? Will a mouse work with it?
Need to buy a 70 inches tcl or hicence or vizio or Sony don't know which one to get please help me out
The question I've been struggling with is this business of M7 vs M8. Based on the dimming zones, it would seem the M8 is the better buy. You mentioned the M8 is only available through one retailer. Am I right in thinking that retailer is Wally World?
You are thinking right sir.
I can still see KEF speakers set up in your test environment. Are they playing up well?
Do m series have the free channel stations that come with it ??
Be interested to know Caleb, if you could have any TV to use as your own day to day, what TV/technology would you choose?
I bought the 50inch Vizio M for my Dads bedroom. I liked it so much I bought the same for me in my bedroom. Don't use Smartcast, I have 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro plugged in.
Does it have 4k @60hz, hdmi 2.1, vrr, allm and hdr?
I’m getting the 70 inch
I just picked up a M55Q8-H1 from Walmart. I went with the Q8 because the 3x increase in dimming zones over the Q7 means that, on paper, it has better picture quality. I have to agree about the sound -- completely wimpy, and the virtual surround mode is almost cringe-worthy, so... like the video says, turn it off. One big disappointment was that the default color calibration was atrocious, with significant magenta bias in the reds. For comparison, the default color on myHisense HU43K300UW was WAY more accurate. Luckily, the color and brightness adjustments on the Q8 were adequate to tone down the magenta saturation, and I'm getting a good picture with the Calibrated mode. Overall this was a decent value, but I was really disappointed by the out-of-box color settings in this mid-range model. I expected better. However, paired with a decent surround system and some picture tweaking, this model makes for a good, affordable home theater system.
Vizio smart TVs have become popular and I have been reading a lot of great of great reviews on its performance
I'm on my second Vizio 65-in TV that the light bars are going bad in "the LED strips" I would not recommend a Vizio TV not if you plan on keeping it for more than 2 years
yeah, Vizio is shiit :)))). get what u pay for, not even watching this GARBAGE HAHAHA 😂
I haveve had 3 vizio tvs with no issues. My oldest one is going on 8 years and still runs amazing
@@oddfellow8366 luck of the draw I guess . Believe me I wish mine would have run perfect but the first one didn't lasted 2 years and my second one it looks like it's the third or fourth light bar down or set of LED strips it's already gone out and usually once one goes out it's a Cascade effect. I really enjoy the picture quality of the TV the first year so they look great for whatever reason they don't want to last at least for me anyways
@@chrono2959 ouch, yeah I guess I must be luck or you must be unlucky.. either way, definitely a concern.
@@oddfellow8366 actually I've been blessed the Lord has blessed me in my life it's just the visio TV's . Maybe both TVs that I got was made on Mondays LOL I don't know it is what it is I guess
The title says this is the M-6 Model; but at 3:58 he says this is the "M-7" Model :/
I was curious to see how the M-6 performed but now I'm not sure if the whole review is for the M-6 (like the title says) or the M-7 (what was said at 3:58).
Hello guys. Two quick questions: I bought this Tv but haven’t been able to make it work through HDMI eArc with my Dolby Atmos Soundcore Infinity Pro Soundbar. My second question it’s gaming with my PS4 Pro, when I change the Tv to “Game” mode, it oversaturate the colors, so I end up switching the picture mode to *Calibrated, which gives me more natural colors but still lacks a punch on the colors. Any advise from the gamers out there. Thank you all. Caleb Thank you for reviewing budget TVs.
What is the one retailer I can get the m8 series from? I cannot find it anywhere and don't want to settle for the m7
Wish you'd tell us what the actual input lag is for gaming.
Looking for a new budget tv can’t decide between the vizio m7, TCL 5, and Hisense H8G. 🤔I want something good for movies, Sports and gaming I have the PS5.
I'm on the same boat but I'll throw in the HDR enabled Ultrawide gaming monitor which is too expensive and also and Xbsx/Ps5 don't support the as of yet. Anyhow if you're looking for top notch almost Oled levels of screen colors and the HDMI 2.1 120fps output
Impressive, good insights. This may be my choice for a replacement everyday tv.
Witch one is better the v series or m series
Is this better for gaming than the TCL 5 Series?
Can any tv be mounted or is something like this not mountable? Will be waiting to see what comes next over the next few months but am definitely ready to replace my 10 year old plasma. I was reading articles that a person's eyes can only see so much clarity anyway so I think I'd be happy with an HDR 4k for the next decade or so. Don't care about sound or anything, I don't get a tv for the sound.
I trust this reviewer's opinion is based entirely on the fact that they have good enough taste to used Dirty Loops videos for testing. Most awe inspiring and musically gifted band of our generation.
You haven't checked out the TCL C715 QLED that TV has mic in the TV so I don't need to press the Google assistant on the remote to access it.
Just bought this tv in a 50". Kinda wish I would've gone bigger, but oh well. Even right out of the box the picture is a huge upgrade from my old Samsung. Still playing with picture settings but very impressed so far with it.
Which samsung did you have? I’m looking to upgrade from a 43” NU6900 Samsung.
@@Torraim I can't remember the model. It's a 55" 4k from around 2016. It was a mid range tv.

@@arthurketch2981 sadly I don’t think it does
Between the hisense H8g and TCL 5 series 2020 which would you say is better for movie watching ??
I had tested the three of them.
The Sound on TCL 5 is good, but the TV has dull colors compared to the Vizio and Hisence.
Tested the Vizio and the Smart OS was a disaster. It lagged too often and lagged on availability of application. Also, Vizio reliability has always been a problem. So I returned it and got the Hisence H8G.
Picture quality of the HG8 is great. I have not notice the Motion problems that Caled mentioned, and I am very sensitive to Motion stutter, I returned a TCL 6 because of this specific problem.
The sound on the H8G is ok, it lacks a little bit on the bass area bit it is loud. Both TCL's sounded better.
Long story short, I kept the H8G and I am a happy camper.
Opposed to what Caleb sugested, I will take the Hisense any day to the Vizio reliability and the TCL is a joke compared to picture quality of the H8G and the Vizio.
Just my two cent!
This or the M series m658-G1?
