VIZIO upgrades their M-Series Lineup to 4K UHD (1 Viewer)

Brad here. Forgive me for my typing and brevity here (on my iPhone) but while browsing WalMart, I've come across Vizio's newly-released second generation of M-Series UHD TVs. So far I've seen the 43", 55" and 60" 4K sets.
A quick check of Vizio's site shows their 70" and 80" 4K models (the 80" is due out shortly.
Vizio might also have released a 49" version (I own the 1st gen 49" M Series) but that would directly compete with their own P Series 4K 50" model.

Expert Opinions sought.

Are these still fauxK?

Since it is Literal Crap Display...

Serious movie watchers aren't interested.

I've looked in Wal-Mart (in Viera) and while I am not in a rush I have a cheapo 50 inch HDTV in a spare system and an almost 12 year Vizio (1080p) 42 inch in another spare 2-channel system where I use the monitor for computer audio. I look basically if something breaks and I would need to buy something. I know Vizio has a new 50 inch model - http://www.vizio.com/tvs/m50c1.html


I probably would go a little higher end this time. I only sit about 7.5 feet away from the 50 inch display and while the room doesn't get used often for movies it would be nice to have a bit better display for a few hundred more.

We've been to the Viera WalMart and the Avenues many a time. That area is really expanding big time. Nice we only live 15 miles from The Avenues.

Lordy my 49" M-Series HDTV is barely 8 months old and already made obsolescent by that 50" 4K M series model. Wonder what will become of Vizio's P-Series lineup?

That's the nature of digital or video. Technology changes. That's why I seldom go top of the line on either unless its used like my DAC purchase for the main system. See this for Vizio - http://www.avsforum.com/forum/166-lcd-flat-panel-displays/1974025-vizio-launches-2015-m-series-e-series.html


I'm only about 4 miles or a hair less from the Avenues. I haven't been in the area a long time. The house is 2 years old but I've really lived in it for about 16-17 months.


I have projectors in the main system and bedroom system (main system is little thumbnail for my avatar and bedroom system is below) so I don't do tons of watching on other system but I would like a nicer 4K TV in the one room when the time is right. Not in a rush.

Oh well, here's a small preview from Vizio's home site:

Last years "4K Vizio", some of the sizes were equipped with "2.8K" panels...not 4K, even though they were labelled as 4K.

Engadget, Cnet etc all wrote about it.

Alright, wasn't sure if it was just a general opinion on Vizio.
