This 65-inch Vizio 4K HDR Smart TV gets a huge price cut at Walmart

Looking to breathe a new lease of life into your home entertainment setup? You’ve come to the right place — Walmart has knocked $350 off one of Vizio’s finest 65-inch 4K TVs, dropping the price from $1,000 down to a more digestible $650.

Let’s face it, even though it’s been the subject of a $350 price slash, the 65-inch Vizio M-Series 4K TV is no drop in the water at $650. But if you’re looking to cut the cord on cable, it’s a must-have (and not to mention an absolute steal at that price).

So, what makes the M-Series so great for cord-cutting? For starters, it’s equipped with Vizio’s WatchFree service, which provides one-click access to more than a hundred live channels — like Action Movies, Crime Network, and Fox Sports — free of charge.

If you can’t find something to watch live, the M-Series also has a Chromecast built in that can be called upon to watch material through leading streaming services, including Google Play Movies, Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube.

There’s an ample amount of inbound connections for those looking to hook up accessories, including four HDMI slots, two USB ports, and Ethernet — though you shouldn’t need the latter as the TV has 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi on board.

Just like any new(ish) 4K TV, the M-Series can run native 4K out of the box, as well as HD and Full HD in an upscaled 4K Ultra HD format, and has Dolby Vision HDR baked in, which can be enabled to extract additional detail from low-light scenes.

We know what you’re thinking: “That all sounds fantastic, but at $650 it’s still a bit too steep.” And we agree — it’s a lot to fork out on a whim, but if you’re serious about cutting the cord and saving a fair few bucks in the long run, it’s perfect.

That’s because you can access nearly the same selection of content a $105-per-month Xfinity TV subscription delivers for around $40 per month through streaming services, so after seven months of owning the TV, you’d be saving $105 per month.

Still, $650 is hardly the type of cash you’d find hiding down the back of the sofa. Fear not, though, for Walmart is offering customers the chance to take that figure and divide it into twelve more manageable chunks (including interest) of $64 per month.

If you don’t see CBS in 4K on YouTube TV, try this
Super Bowl in 4K on CBS on YouTube TV.

A quick heads up if you have the 4K add-on for YouTube TV but aren't seeing the option to watch Super Bowl 2024 in 4K on CBS: It's likely because you're using a custom sort on your live channel listings. (Which is something you might have done if you want to hide YouTube TV channels that you never watch.) That'a bad enough for the game itself, and it also means you won't be able to enjoy the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 4K.

This is a known problem — and has been for years — anytime YouTube TV adds a new channel to the listing. If you're not using the default sort on the live channel listings, a new channel will appear at the bottom of the listings, which is bad enough. But worse is that it's hidden by default until you actively go in and unhide it.
