Review: Get One Before They're Gone - As is usually the case in my reviews I plan to keep things as simple and clear as possible. I did a lot of research on LG, Sony and Samsung 60 inch televisions in the 1000.00 to 2000.00 dollar range. I also actually looked at the various and sundry sets at too many big box stores to effectively maintain my sanity with the mostly useless drivel, that spewed forth from far too many salespersons' mouths. Here on desertcart a whole lot of people have been far more technical than I like to be and there are some very astute and descent reviews on this product. My set was delivered on May the 24th and I am writing this review on the 15th of June after spending time getting to know and calibrate this beautiful television. It is totally worth the money I paid and I could not be happier with my purchase. The company that delivered the set, Pilot, was pretty worthless, which I in no way hold against desertcart. I had two tens and two fives to tip these guys 15 bucks apiece and when they said they knew nothing about helping me out with opening and then placing the t.v. I just smiled at them and kept my tip dough in my pocket. I have helped friends and family (ad nauseaum) to set up surround sound systems and televisions for too many years and it took no time to set the set up, around 20 minutes or less from opening to putting on the feet to placing it on the stand, it only weighs about 60 lbs. If you like myself are sick of the assanine corporate whores who mainly, due to copy protection issues can't give us simplicity buy this set! If you want just a scooch more future proofing look to the 2016 P and M series Vizio's, as they will do the HDR and Dolby Vision color update. I wanted a tuner for over the air stations as I cut the cable cord years ago and those televisions have to have an outboard tuner to receive over the air stations. My point is, Beta Max or VHS? Blu-ray or Red- ray? HDMI 1.0? 1.2? 2.0? 2.2? I think you see where I am going with this. I would buy this set and wail until at least 2018 to buy another set. If you have the money, 6000,00 to 12000.00 dollars, you can afford either LG or Panasonics OLED's which have the most beautiful pictures and features available as of this writing. If like me, you are a pauper, buy this television instead, or the 65 or 70 inch version of it. You will not need an upconverting blu-ray player, the 4k feed from desertcart and Netflix look absolutely amazing as does the upconverted 1080p signal from my blu-ray player. 480i looks like crap for the most part but any station showing 720p or1080i looks amazing on the over the air tuner which picked up more stations (77) after the channel scan. Another wonderful feature are the various picture settings you can dail in and store or adjust on fly. Considering the uneven standards of picture and aspect ratio options on terrestrial channels the fact that you can adjust as you're looking at the picture will make me forgo calibation by an ISF tech. If you're a gamer, buy this set, if you mourn the loss of plasma, buy this set, if you know the difference between an eyesight blasting display at the store and what pleases your eye asthetically,buy this set! As of this writing there are 2 4k blu-ray players and around 18 4k movies that you can purchase, another reason why I will wait until 2018 to possibly upgrade to OLED. I used the calibration settings from C-Net's David Katzemeyer (I think I misspelled his last name) and AVS Forum with minor adjustments here and there. Subjectivity is the norm in music and visual likes but you can dial in one hell of a picture with this set! It's big and beautiful, the speakers really surprised me with their clarity but lets face it, a soundbar or in my case a surround sound system really make for a true "home theater" experience. I may purchase a roku 4 as I love my roku 3, which is now in the bedroom if and when more things begin to be streamed in 4k, I will buy a 4k blu-ray player when they come down to $ 250 or less. For now this set is all you will need to watch the sparse offerings in 4k that are currently available, and they look damn good! When the corporate whores make up their minds and offer us one standard that works without having to constantly upgrade I will buy another set that does HDR-10 and Dolby Vision and whatever the hell else it is they come up with. When there are at least 500 movies in 4k not upconverted 2k to 4k I will upgrade. Until then this television and the Audioquest Dragonfly DAC are the 2 best electronic devices I have ever personally selected. I found them both on desertcart and I am an desertcartian forever. By the by Panasonic just began selling 8k cameras to the major studios, I hope this set will last at least 4 years cause I smell even more "format wars" b.s. in the years ahead. 8k or 4k? You get my drift.....
Review: This Review is for the Vizio M75-C1 75-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model) Very pleased with our purchase (so far) - This review is for the 75 Inch model of this T.V (M75- C1). One thing I do not like is the cross reviews of each Vizio TV (different sizes/models etc, It is confusing. Not all models sizes have the same features and hardware, so be careful when reading reviews that do not relate to the model you wish to purchase. The first thing I want to address is the difference between an LED and a Plasma T.V. Plasma's were great and I just purchased this T.V to replace the Pioneer Plasma 50 Inch set we have had for eight years (which still works great). The viewing angle on these (L.E.D) are not the same as Plasma T.Vs, for best view its better to be straight on, if you are viewing from an acute angle, you are going to be disappointed, as the picture will not be view able to your liking. Before you buy such a major purchase you should always go to a local store (If Possible) and view them before purchase. (we checked out Costco). Also make sure you check out the viewing angles as well.I have brought several T.Vs through desertcart because of the price, free shipping (Prime) and desertcarts return policy, but each time checked it at the store before my purchase. Ok now price, for the bang for your buck, you cannot go wrong with Vizio, compare this model with the name brands (Samsung, Sony Etc), and you will see it is hundreds even thousands less than these other models of the same size. Next the wireless and apps. Do you really buy a TV for streaming Netflix or Hulu etc? I certainly do not even consider this when buying a T.V. We have an HTPC (This is a Home Theater Personal Computer) hooked to ours and we stream everything we want through this. (More about Computer through this T.V later). I can tell you I have a Samsung Blu Ray player that is supposed to stream, it does not work very well either. Picture: OK, straight out of the box, you will not get the picture you were hoping for, you need to adjust the colors and back light etc. There are quite a few reviews in here that give you some settings to try or you can purchase a calibration disc. After playing with it for some time, I have got the picture I am happy with, but I also have different setting for Sports, Movies etc. Remember not all TV (satellite or Cable) broadcasts everything in HD including commercials, so sometimes it will not look great. Blu Ray: We put in Disney's Lion King as a sampler (after calibrating T.V) OMG just amazing, Blu Ray really is the only way to get the ultimate from your T.V, the picture is incredibly good and you will love it. Note here to novices, hooking up your new T. V with anything other than an HDMI Cable is a crime. You will not get a great picture without it. If you are using equipment that does not have HDMI (cable box, satellite receiver, DVD/ BD Player) then you need to upgrade them as well. Note about HDMI Cables, do not believe the hype about spending $50 on a cable will make the picture better. desertcarts basic will work just as well. Sound: Thin T.Vs right? Lots of Screen right? then the speakers (if the model your buying has them) are going to be tiny and you will not get the sound you want. Get yourself an amp and speakers, or a home theater set up, or if you don't want all that, research sound bars or consider one of the Bose surround sound boxes. Personal Computer: Running our Home Theater Personal Computer through this TV is incredible. Just imagine a 75 inch Monitor, crystal clear. We like to download 1080P Music videos and even they look amazing on the screen (again using HDMI). We have all our music on here too and we play back through our amp. Like all things electronic, you need to know what you are doing. If your not savvy with these products, then consult one of the tech services available, to get the most out of computer through your new TV. We run Windows 10 (has Apps and is stable) and I said earlier we use this rather than the apps and wireless that is available through the T.V. To sum up my purchase, for the price, you cannot beat the Vizio 75 Inch 4K. You can spend more, but you will get no better warranty with the other guys. This is my first Vizio product and so my review is subject to change, but after receiving it and watching for 2 days, we love our new TV. The reviews here are very variable and is it possible to get a lemon? Yes of course, other brands have them too. If you are worried about such a big purchase, then spend the extra on the warranty for peace of mind. My opinion is if it does not go out in a year, it will probably not and for that reason I seldom purchase extended warranties. I hope my review helps some of you with your decision. A lot of folks write very poor reviews or they are too technical and people do not always understand the terms. Remember these are peoples opinions not necessarily cold hard facts. We buy big ticket items from desertcart often, we do not own a truck and so buying at Costco etc is not really a cheap alternative, even if it is a 100 dollars cheaper their. I will add more to my review if we experience any issues, but for now we are happy to own this 75 inch TV. Oh the other plus here at desertcart, we got 12 months no interest with our desertcart card.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the native refresh rate? 60 Hz?**
A: He asked what the NATIVE REFRESH rate was, not the made up marketing BS of "effective refresh rate." From the website for this model:HDMI Ports5 (3 down / 2 side)· HDMI Port 1 SpecUHD Video @30Hz, HDCP 2.2 support· HDMI Port 2 SpecUHD Video @30Hz, HDCP 2.2 support· HDMI Port 3 SpecUHD Video @30Hz, HDCP 2.0 support· HDMI Port 4 SpecUHD Video @30Hz, HDCP 2.0 support· HDMI Port 5 SpecUHD Video @60Hz, HDCP 2.2 supportIT WILL DO NATIVE 60Hz out the 5th HDMI port. This is where you would want to plug in a gaming PC.

**Q: How far apart are the feet on this 43" TV?**
A: 33.5" measured from outside to outside of feet.

**Q: Does any one know how far apart the legs are from outside to the other outside?**
A: The legs insert into the television at 47 inches, however they extend out and the television will not fit on a 47" surface. The bare minimum width stand you would need is 50 inches.

**Q: Does anyone know the dimensions of the box the 43" model comes in?**
A: 41" x 25.5" x 6" (Lucky for you, I've been a slob and the box is still sitting nearby.)

### ⭐ Vizio? More like Crap!
*by J***. on September 27, 2016*

I was initially happy with this TV, great picture and an all around good experience. Less than 3 months after I got it, the backlight started to flicker randomly. A small tap to the side of the TV fixed this, but eventually it wouldn't go away. Vizio replaced this TV and all was well. I felt like Vizio had my back and the customer service was outstanding. Now fast forward 3 months and the TV randomly displays very little color, almost black and white regardless of input. This sometimes persists through a reset (unplugging and plugging back in which takes forever by the way). I contacted Vizio support and was immediately accused of the input being the problem and they insisted I send them photos of the problem. Which I attempted no less than 5 different times. They also wanted proof of purchase and I told them that they just replaced this TV 3 months ago but they insisted. I tried to email them that too, which also was bounced back to me by my ISP as undeliverable. Tried 2 other email accounts with no success. Finally I decided maybe public shaming would do the trick so I tweeted photos and an description of my problem and tagged Vizio. Surprise! They got the pictures finally, but insisted I fax them a copy of my POP since it had my name and address on it. Finally, the next call I felt like I was getting somewhere! The rep told me that they were indeed having problems with their email system! He also told me he had a copy of my POP from my call in about the first defective tv and told me they would be happy to replace my TV with the inferior and poorly rated D series instead! I told him this was unacceptable to replace a $1000 tv with a $600 one. He told me that he would get in touch with his supervisor and someone would call me the next day. I finally received my phone call and much to my disappointment they would NOT be replacing my TV with the newer M series. At this point I had had enough and was offered a refund which I accepted. He told me I had to have the TV ready to be picked up in the original package! I told him I saved it as I had little faith in the last replacement tv! He told me they will be here this week to pick it up, and then it would take several days to get to the warehouse, then up to a week for "inspection". After the tv was inspected and found to have no physical damage, they would issue a refund check. Which you guessed it, would take up to a week to be mailed. By the US Postal service, which is lightning fast as well. So according to Vizio, I'm expected to be without a tv for up to 3 weeks. I will make it my lifelong mission to see to it that nobody buys another Vizio TV again!
