... what is your theory about what your P75 is telling Vudu and Netflix?

Phew! So after hearing that Best Buy's stores in the Midwest would be out of stock of the set for another month or two I started checking Best Buy's site daily. I put an order through and it'll be here on Thursday. I sacrificed able to get any price match but I'm happy anyway.

You should still be able to price match through customer service. Possibly in store too.

Lol I don't have one. I just know when I cast a 4k video it says 4k in the system info. That was really the only thing I could come up with because other than that it just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm pretty sure I'm getting 4k on youtube Even though the system info says I'm not. The videos are stunning. Its probably just a glitch in my set. Not a big deal I'm still very much enjoying my p75 and if this is the only issue I have compared to other people's than I'm a happy guy.

Yep that's very true.

UPDATE: Best Buy called me back. The guy misread it. It's July 7th, not June.

They should offer the HDR 10 beta build firmware to us here, so we can watch ID4 & Ghostbusters and give them feedback on it in the next few days.

FYI, I've also experienced a slightly different version of the tearing problem while gaming at 120 FPS with the new firmware. The screen is essentially slightly darker on one side. I hope they are working on a fix. The problem goes away after the usual warm up and power cycle.

This is not true. Go to vudu and try to play a uhd movie. If you start it on the tablet first it will play the hdx version as that's the best the tablet can do. Then if you hit cast it will tell the TV to play the hdx version. You have to hit cast first then select the movie. People don't belive me but go try for yourself.

On a sidenote I love your calibration settings on my p65 it looks way better then even the cal and cal dark modes

I already posted earlier that I'm not sure about Vudu 😉

Thank you. I updated the SDR call last night.

At least on VUDU it's easy to fix. Just select UHD and watch now from the app.

I was just pointing out one way to watch USB stored videos.

While I was using a HTPC to play DVD sources on a DLP display back in 2004, I lost interest in HTPC inputs when we got the Kuro. I'm probably going to upgrade a four year old router before we get into casting, and I'll make sure the new one has a USB port. The old one does, so maybe they are standard now.

Thanks for the information.

These sets must be in pretty high demand. I ordered a P75 through Best Buy's site on Friday, June 3rd, with a home delivery date of June 11th. I thought "Phew, glad I ordered when I did", because right after, they were unavailable again. Everything looked fine. The next day, I checked my order status online, and it now shows as back-ordered. *Sigh* It still shows the same delivery date, but I doubt it will happen.

What hurts is that I had an opportunity on May 31st to order it through a local Best Buy store and have it by June 3rd. There was only one available though. At that point, I hadn't done much research and they only had the P65 on display with nothing connected to demo. I was leaning toward the Sony 75" X850D anyway, so ordered. Of course, I wound up doing more research on both the Sony and Vizio, then had buyer's remorse. I wound up cancelling the next day and going back to the store for the Vizio. Well, what do you know, there weren't any more available.

So here I wait, not knowing when.

Is this w the new Harmony profile for the P series in the last 2 weeks?

I can't explain what is causing your problem, but I've read this entire thread and I almost never take an absolute position on anything. I also have a background that involves debugging of several different kinds. Based on the information in this thread, your problem isn't because the speed reporting software doesn't work.

I understand your frustration, but enjoy your good performance while you look for a solution.

Dumb question. My P65 arrives tomorrow & I've downloaded & reviewed the User Manual.

HDMI 5 is the port for gaming devices, but can it be used for mundane devices? 4K Satellite, Roku, Blu Ray, Amazon Fire, VCR? I need that 5th connection, any recommendations as to what would work best on that port would be appreciated. TIA.

I understand. What might help the thread is a myth killer list of the sequences that you know work on which services.

I haven't even been able to place an order as Best Buy tied up over $1,100 in rewards points I want to use, while they upgrade their rewards system.

Does Vizio not make many of these TV's? I recall the 2014 P series didn't seem to be in stock all that long. I was better organized back then and snagged one within the first month or so - I did a horrible job this time, even though I wanted the new P75 since before it was announced.

Oh well. Patience is a virtue or something. In the meantime, it's nice to read this thread each day and learn more about it.

It's been 3 weeks max. I deleted the old TV profile and put the new one on as soon as Matt mentioned he'd changed the codes for direct access to Casting.

Yeah.. Mine shows input 2 on the display but switches to the correct on specified in the activity.

Either gaming or VCR to really take advantage of low lag time when watching old "Are you being served?" reruns. Anyways, the port is the lowest LAG so it works well for gaming. If you don't game just use it for anything, no difference since nothing else pushes that kind of bandwidth yet.

Yeah, that sounds about right. It's weird because if the code was really discreet it would seem like it wouldn't need to rotate like that .

I have the latest firmware on my P65 and just deleted my tv from my Harmony and added it back and updated my activities on Saturday. It was working fine before that. Now when I switch activities from casting, it goes to hdmi 2 for a few seconds and then back to hdmi 1.

I hear you. I came to this thread only about a week ago, so haven't read the whole thing obviously, but just trying to keep up now. I figured I'd do the same and glean some useful information until I get it.

Maybe Vizio didn't realize how much demand there would be. Maybe something else completely. I'd have gotten one earlier, but I wasn't in the market for a new TV when it first launched.

Where exactly are you seeing the YouTube info. that is saying 1080p? Is this somewhere else than the sys. info. on the tablet?

It's in the YouTube app. Go into the YouTube settings and enable stats for nerds then when you hit the 3 little dots in the top right hand corner you can select the stats.

I have my Nvidia Shield TV connected to port 5. I'm waiting for the 3.2 system upgrade to happen. Netflix and Hulu are suffering from a lot of stuttering and Netflix has no audio. Not a big deal as Smart Casting both works great. Marco Polo looks the best so far(really fantastic picture). My Xbox-One looks fantastic in up-scaled 1080p. No 4k from the Xbox-One.

Again Smart Casting movies that have it gets both UHD and Dolby Vision so I'll use that.

I'm thinking about getting a Roku 4K just for the simple reason that it has Amazon Prime( I hear lots of UHD content coming) and has a app that puts that UHD content in one place. The one thing I can't find in my searching is whether Roku 4k supports Dolby Vision or will support HDR10.

Anybody Know?

Anyone know if selecting Bitstream includes DD but also DTS? Seems like an obvious thing but this list used to have Auto, PCM and DD+DTS, I believe.

I bought a Roku 4 on a whim for the exact same reason. Returned it the next day when I found out it didnt. Shame! I'm hoping the PS4.5 will support HDR and will be reasonably priced. Otherwise I'll have to figure out another option.

The current Roku does not support either HDR format.
