CNET made a huge stir by claiming the 75" TCL had a 120hz panel, but it appears they were wrong and there is no difference in the native refresh rate between screen sizes. If it was 120hz native, then it would be advertised as 240hz CMI. While rtings doesn't outright state the panel refresh rate...
TCL claims 120hz as the "clear motion index". It's a native 60hz panel.

I bought a Vesa mount stand like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/FITUEYES-Universal-Swivel-Adjustable-FTT107003GB/dp/B01CORQRX0
It was cheaper than buying a new AV unit.
The TCL does have slightly more local dimming zones, but Rtings considered the P75 to have superior FALD performance. It's...
The P75-F1 is now $1399 at Costco, $100 less than what I paid for about a month ago.

Shit. Probably would have gone for the TCL for the $200. Ah well.
I did look hard at the Samsung 75Q9FN and the price stared back. I blinked.
I will say that the VIzio P75 is positively blinding with 100 backlight at 50 contrast & brightness. I can't even imagine how bright the Q9 is.
I will...
I loved my DLP when I got it, changed the lamp like 5 times and used it for almost 10 years. The day I got my first LCD TV it was the biggest leap in display fidelity I had ever experienced. It took my breath away the first time I turned it on and took months before that feeling of awe...
I got quite worried that the TV would be so big that it would physically get in the way of our daily goings on. So it was a huge relief that it didn't turn out to be a giant eyesore. I had built it up so much in the anticipation that it ended up being smaller than I imagined and it didn't feel...
First impressions of the P75-F1:
The picture is a big jump from my M65. Colors pop and the scaling engine does an amazing job. The contrast enhancement from FALD is incredible. The 33% increase in size is awesome. Before the delivery, I started to get worried the set would be too big but it's...
The TCL is better at smooth motion converting 24fps source to 60fps than the Vizio. If smooth motion from 3:2 pulldown is important to you, you should get the TCL.
I'm actually outputting 24fps directly to the TV which bypasses any need for pulldown. That's where the 120hz comes in handy. If...
The reason I bought it at best buy was because they offered 24 months interest free. Made it a lot easier to pull the trigger on a $1500 TV.
The reason I ultimately went with the Vizio was the native 120hz panel, allowing for perfect 24fps playback without the need for pull down or smooth...
Best Buy price matched from Costco to bring the price of the P75 down from $1650 to $1500. I ended up cancelling my first order and ordering it again (long story) -- the first time the guy just took the $150 off the price. The second person charged me for the $1650 and then credited the card...
There's still a part of me that's considering going back to the TCL :D
But I'm going to stick with the Vizio. I don't think you can go wrong with either set
I changed my mind today lol.
The P75 has better color, better black and gray uniformity, and better local dimming. But the TCL has better contrast and achieves a brighter picture. So that was a push for me, probably a slight advantage for TCL.
But the P75 has a native 120hz panel, and it...
I ended up ordering the stand. Amazon is confusing because all the reviews for the various stand sizes were mixed together, and after some digging I found out the pedestal base for the 80" stand was substantially larger than my current stand.
I bought a pedestal stand for the m65 to Vesa mount it since the feet wouldn't fit on my AV center. I'm going to recycle it for my TCL assuming it doesn't constitute a tipping hazard. The stand was made for up to 65" TV's, but it seems to have the same specs and rated for more weight than one I...
I was having a bit of buyer's remorse already having read that the Vizio p75 has a better picture for $150 more. But in the end, there are more complaints about bad panels with the p75 and the Roku interface makes up for any minor improvements. I have the Vizio m65, and it has some inconsistent...
Just pulled the trigger on the TCL Series 6 75" model. It's on sale right now for $1500 at Best Buy right now. I was able to score 24 months interest free as well. I'm quite excited, I've had my eye on this TV for a couple of months.
