1. Color Banding sometimes refereed to as Jailbars
2. DSE -Dirty Screen Effect

I'm sorry if this is considered off topic (feel free to tell me so).



I will be picking up a PX65 - assuming they don't sell out faster than I can get my hands on a set. However, our budget will be seriously strained by a PX purchase and I don't have money for a stand. My current stand is a desk from a second hand store and it has worked great for my gear but even with my current 43" the TV is too tall for our room. It also is nowhere close to wide enough for the chicken feet stands Vizio uses. Does anyone have any ideas on modifications to my current stand or some other idea that wouldn't cost more than $40ish? Wall mounting is not an option due to the room and rental agreements. I'm open to pretty much any idea. I posted pictures of my setup to help with ideas.

How wide is that window behind the television? It looks like it might be wide enough for the feet (not certain about the depth) of the existing legs of the PX65. Plus it will bring the television down lower as well.

This TV is under 1k at a Sams Club right now. That should give you money for a stand

So does color gradient banding vary from set to set? In addition to jailbars, I have just horrid color banding on Amazon Prime UHD video via both in house app and my Panasonic ubp820. I did not have it this bad on last years Quantum model. For instance walls in the background and the sky will be a mess of banding. Would exchanging with Vizio possibly help this?

Is the content SDR or HDR?
Color banding is inherent with SDR content and has nothing to do with the TV.
If you experience color banding with HDR content, then there could be a misconfigured setting or an issue with the panel.
The Jail Bars effect is a panel issue. If it is bad enough may warrant a replacement.

I've really mainly seen it in HDR content. Nothing major in sdr.

This last firmware update includes hdr10+ support

Tested hdr10+ on season 2 jack ryan

Here was my process used on 4 exchanges.

1. Update firmware
2. Go to smartcast
3. Set to calibrated or calibrated dark picture mode
4. Launch YouTube, play dirty screen effect test videos (the hockey one and the sky with clouds one). Evaluate with enhanced viewing angle on and off. Evaluate for jail bars and yellow or pink discoloration zones / blobs
5. Plug Xbox or roku or chromecast or any other hdr source into hdmi 1
6. Set hdmi 1 to UHD color on in the input menu and calibrated picture mode
7. Launch Netflix, or prime or hdr game on hdr device and evaluate Dolby vision/ hdr 10. Confirm no loss of picture and proper hdr subjective quality. Note Netflix Dolby vision does not work and is washed out on Xbox and roku apps due to Vizio issue in v3 firmware. Not sure if fixed v4 being rolled out now in. Hdr 10 works fine. I used hdr 10 games to confirm all inputs have working UHD hdr.
8. Repeat on hdr 2,3,4. Not hdmi 5 since it is not hdr capable.
9. If you are using an avr test hdr source through avr.


If you get through that and you are satisfied / happy then enjoy the TV! I swapped 2 tvs for failing step 4 and one for failing step 8. The TV I kept passes all, but needs viewing angle enhancement on to pass step 4.

I got the update.



I can confirm dv works fine with Xbox (although I hate that it is stuck in dv when it launches, this is a three year old Netflix bug).



I can also confirm audio dropouts are not fixed with games on Xbox.



I can also confirm: https://imgur.com/a/aPprlge

I received the latest firmware update and it solves the video dropouts with the Xfinity/Comcast 4K DVR and Dolby Vision issue with the AppleTV4K.

I can now route all my video sources back through the Denon AVR without seeing any issues.

I did do a total reset of the Vizio and reloaded my personal settings, power cycled the AppleTV4K and reloaded the firmware of the Denon AVR just to clean out any old settings.

I've always been happy with the way my Vizio PX65 G-1 looks.

Is anyone able to do me a favor and post some pictures of what video games look like on here? Particularly something with bright highlights? If it looks good, I may be pulling the trigger on this set soon...it’s getting harder and harder to ignore how good everyone says the picture looks

I am not sure photos of a tv will show you how good it can look.



It does look really good. Especially HDR. However, I am still having audio drop outs. Only on games, with Xbox1x. Even with the new firmware. I even bought new premium certified cables to try and fix it.

that is good to hear.. can't wait for the update and reconnect my Pani UB9000 and TV4K back to the Marantz SR8012.

I've been messing with Computer picture setting when using my PC instead of leaving on Calibrated and even though all settings are still at 50 in Computer pic mode, the color intensity difference is HUGE!

Im trying to understand what is going on. Colors, especially reds, seem super saturated. Why is there such a difference and how? Color temperature is the same (normal) and no other settings are different between the two.

Any ideas??
