The Vizio M-Series is the next best thing to an OLED or QLED 4K TV, taking advantage of Quantum Dots — similar to that of Samsung’s flagship Q90 QLED TV — to deliver cinema-like visuals on a standard LED screen, and not a souped-up QLED or OLED. Better yet, the massive 65-inch model is now on sale at Walmart for only $750 ($73 per month if you take advantage of the retailer’s 12-month financing arrangement) — a total discount of $250.
There’s no denying that $750 (down from $1,000) is still an awful lot of money to spend on a television, but you’re actually getting quite a lot of value in return. The 65-inch Vizio M-Series delivers the closest thing to the immersive viewing experience that comes with the OLEDs and QLEDS of the world and costs about half the price. For comparison, a 65-inch QLED or OLED will set you back somewhere in the region of $2,000.
You aren’t making any sacrifices by taking the cheaper route, either. Sure, QLEDs and OLEDs reach a deeper black level and highlight more detail as a result, but if you don’t already own either a QLED or OLED 4K TV and are upgrading from an HDTV or a standard 4K TV that doesn’t utilize Quantum Dots to achieve a higher maximum brightness level and produce more accurate colors, the difference is going to be as clear as day and night.
The 65-inch Vizio M-Series is also armed with all the same tools you expect to find on an OLED or QLED. There’s smart software (in the form of an integrated Google Chromecast) for one-click access to all the premier live and on-demand streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, and multi-format HDR — headlined by both Dolby Vision and HDR10 — which can be called upon to draw extra detail from supported content.
All in all, you can’t go wrong with the 65-inch Vizio M-Series — and that’s when it’s not on sale. With an astonishing $250 off, it’s an absolute must-have. However, if you’re in the market for something a bit more affordable, there are several fantastic 4K TV deals available right now. The highlights include a 50-inch Vizio D-Series for $260, a 55-inch LG 6-Series for $380, a 55-inch Samsung RU7200 for $500, and a 70-inch Vizio D-Series for $700.
