2016 Vizio P, FALD, Dolby HDR, Google Cast remote, bang for the buck monster! (1 Viewer)

HDR10 support is go, in limited release now. I'm hoping my serial number will be early access, will give a report once live.

Oh man, it's glorious!

Are you still happy with the display? I am ready to buy now and it's all so confusing anymore. I have an Xbox one and a ps3 that need to look good.

 

[Sam Posten]

Yep. Just be sure you are ok with the casting paradigm before you buy, it's not for everyone. And make sure you buy certified HDMI 2.2 cables for HDR sources

I have to learn what that is. I've been out of the game for a while, haven't even been on the forum in years, but trying to get back in it but make smart choices for my limited budget.

Essentially there is no tuner and no Apps on the panel. All apps run on its companion tablet or your own tablet/phone including those made by apple. Videos get handed over from the tablet to the panel via way of Chromecast. It's really easy to use if you are the one guy operating it, but it's a bit more complex to train a larger family on how it works, from what I understand.

Where do you get 2.2 HDMI cables? All I ever see is 2.0.

 

[Sam Posten]

You want the ones rated for 18gbs, I may have mispoke. Not just play high speed, need the certified ones, it matters.

 

[Brandon_T]

Ok thanks! Everything we run is through the Xbox or PlayStation anyway, I just want the best picture I can get for my limited budget.
