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.

Hisense teases 110-inch, 10,000-nit TV ahead of CES 2024
The Hisense 110UX ULED X mini-LED 4K TV.

Hisense says its new 110UX TV will do something no other consumer display has ever done: deliver 10,000 nits of peak brightness. The 110UX, which has a 110-inch diagonal screen size and apparently has its own console-style stand and audio system, will get its official debut at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.

In typical fashion for a CES sneak peek, Hisense hasn't released any pricing or availability information for the scorchingly bright 110UX. The new model is based on Hisense's ULED X technology platform which it first announced in 2023 with the debut of the Hisense UX.

Sharp’s promised Roku OLED TV is now available and deeply discounted
Sharp Roku TV OLED 4K UHD.

In January 2023, Sharp surprised many observers by announcing its return to the North American TV market -- and then surprised us again by saying it intended to launch the first OLED TV powered by Roku. True to its word, you can now buy the Sharp Roku TV OLED 4K Ultra HD in 55- and 65-inch screen sizes, each of which has already been discounted for Black Friday sales.

Normally $1,900 for the 55-inch model and $2,500 for the 65-inch screen size (very similar prices to what LG asks for its 55- and 65-inch LG C3 OLED), the new Sharp OLED TVs are now $1,500 and $2,000, respectively.

The hidden costs of buying a 4K TV are way higher than you think

There’s never been a better time to buy a 4K TV. Prices have continued to drop even as screen sizes and smart TV features have continued to grow. But now that 4K TVs are priced within reach of almost anyone who wants one, are you actually going to be able to enjoy all of the extra detail and picture quality that 4K promises? The answer is, sadly, not as often as you expect, and not without some considerable extra investment over and above the cost of the TV.

Modern 4K TVs are packed with a lot of impressive technologies that can make picture quality look amazing, no matter what you’re watching. With upscaling driven by complex algorithms and often aided by AI, even watching an old DVD on a 4K TV will look way better than it did on an HDTV from 10 years ago. But to truly get the best possible results, you need access to native 4K content, preferably with some flavor of HDR, like Dolby Vision, HDR10, or HDR10+.
