Specs and prices for new Vizio M series just leaked by hdguru so wanted to start a thread. Per hdguru:

8 screen sizes from 43-inches ($599) to 80-inches ($3999). While all have 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, there are no quantum dots for a wider color gamut or higher dynamic range. 3D is omitted. Like Vizio’s 2014 4K UHD “P” series the “M”s offer LCD panels using full array LED backlighting with local dimming. The 60- and 65-inch models have 32 dimmable zones and employ 10-bit LCD panels. While Vizio does not provide a native refresh rate, per cnet it's likely to be 60 or 120 Hz

Vizio’s 2015 4K UHD M Series (Vizio will announce and release April 13-14).

superior p serie? your kidding me right? walmarts has the 50 in for 600 by me. 4k looks nice but regular cable looks horrible on it. nowhere near as good as my aquos. not even in the ballpark.

You base your "review" based on a Walmart driveby? That's like saying well that car looks like crap because it's buried in snow, let's go get this broken down one because someone cleaned it off.


Also what does the P series being superior to the M series have anything to do with an Aquos? HD cable looks very good on my P series (60")....

They did a 2015 refresh of the 1080p 2014 M-series.

When was this refresh? Haven't seen anything posted about 1080p models being refreshed along side the 4k models. As far as I have read all of the M series in 2015 are 4k. At least to me that would just lead to confusion. E series as far as I knew was the only 2015 model for Vizio that was 1080p still. I'm guessing by next year that too will be 4k at least in part.

I have a 2015 manufactured 50" 1080p that I bought from Best buy Monday and they have 55" refresh coming in the next 2 weeks. I was shopping for the 50"-55" P-series,but they have been discontinued (at Best buy) and can no longer be ordered.
Just because it was manufactured in 2015 does not mean it was a refresh. Can you please list the changes that were made between a 2014 manufactured 1080p model and a 2015 manufactured 1080p M series.

They did!?!!?!??!
It doesn't make sense does it since the 2015 M series will be out in May?

I don't know, maybe Vizio has decided to sell 1080p and UHD M models concurrently. Doesn't seem that plausible but if there was a refreshing of the current models then it would make a little bit of sense.

The placement of the feet, and most particularly the lack of options, will cost them sales. I would purchase the 43" for my guest room, but not if I have to buy a new stand to place it on.

Ehhh I think many are mounting (wall) we saw people say the same thing when Samsung did something similar with their "feet". People got over it quickly, the good thing there are lots of available options to consumers this year.

I think it is great to see mid tier level TV's coming out in 4K. There is no reason why 4K should only be in top tier TV's. And eventually 4K resolution will be just like buying a 1080p TV as far as price in concerned and the sooner the better. You want to sell 4K TV's to us, then put them in all your models and price them like any one of your 1080 TV's then more people will purchase them. When 4K TV's are $3,000 - $5,000 how many average consumers are going to run out and buy a new TV just because it is 4K.

My friends don't even know what 4K means. I applaud Vizio for what they are doing. They are actually leading a charge here and others are going to have to follow.

I wouldn't say Vizio is leading the charge as the 6 and 7 series from Samsung will also be UHD televisions. And no, I don't think it's so great that it's getting difficult to get a top quality 1080p television since 4K content is still rare and 1080p content will not look any better and in some cases look worse on a UHD television.

Edit: I rather have the 64/72 dimming zones from the P series than 4K resolution.

At the 2016 CES we will see the 40" and under 4K sets from major players. Then it will be straight on down to 32" and smaller 4K sets:D

I would rather have a dimming zone per pixel;)
