Safe to Buy P75Qx-H1?

Currently cross shopping TV's coming from an 8 year old Vizio M series which I've loved...it seems like this particular set is very nice but unfortunately I've read over and over again about how bugged it is, especially around the HDMI 2.1 connectivity.

Can anyone confirm if this has been resolved or continues to be an issue? 2.1 120hz support is particularly important to me as I have a Series X and would like to take advantage of that capability.

My other option would be the Sony X90J which I haven't read about any of these issues with.

I agree with the other two posters. Do not buy.

I have the P75Q9-H1.

It's buggy. Especially with my XBsX.

120hz? Ha! VRR? Ha! ARC working between switching inputs? Yeah, right! Manually reboot TV constantly to correct HDMI handshaking? Sign me up!

Will be getting the LG when I'm ready. My Xbox Series X hates this TV. Me too.

Will never buy a Vizio TV for myself ever again.

Yep, I am experiencing all of these issues as well. I bought this tv for the HDMI 2.1 functionality with the Series X and I ended up not using ANY of it because of how bugged everything is. 🙄

Absolutely not. I have the 65 model and can confirm it is trash on the Series X. I hate my TV so much that I bought and LG G1 as a replacement. Currently waiting to be delivered today and could not be happier.

Nope, if gaming is important to you stay very far away from Vizio.

Aghh bummer. Thank you both for your input! I'll probably stick with the Sony this go around.

If you can wait until Black Friday, you should. Check back before then and the answers may change.

If you're talking about VRR, then Sony won't work either. They haven't gotten it working on this year or last yeas models. Pretty sure Vizio has a version of 4k 120hz working tho and beats it out. Check ratings to confirm. I have a Xbox one x and 4k vrr 60hz works without issue.

In terms of HDMI 2.1, Sony will do better. Vizio has it, but they also a have track record of handshake and other issues.

Absolutely not. The firmware is still a mess and it's looking more and more like the 2020 TVs are going to be abandonware.

Don't.

Had P75QX-H1 for a year fighting with the damn thing trying to make it work with gaming functions and it's busted as hell. Broke to the point I went out and bought a new LG C1 last weekend and couldn't be happier because everything simply works, no fuss, stress or anxiety.

Damn, I bought the P65Q9-H1 back towards the beginning of the year and I haven’t had a single problem with it. I do plan on picking up an Xbox series x in the next few months though. Things are still that bad?

Mine still takes a dump 75% of the time you change HDR format. Go from nothing to HDR10, need to reboot to get a picture. Change to DV? Reboot or maybe it went unresponsive and you have to power cable cycle it. 120Hz has this weird red smearing.

Huh, when I bought the tv I was under the impression that it was only capable of 4K at 60Hz. Did they add 120Hz in an update?

Mine works pretty much perfectly actually, but I’m with everyone else here. I wouldn’t take the chance when most others got awful sets

I love my p65qx-h1, but I also don't have 2.1 devices, or a sound bar (full AVR hookup hasn't had any issues so far), so your mileage my vary. If you use an Nvidia Shield or Apple TV for streaming, you can bypass the less than stellar software, and the only thing you lose is HDR10+ on Prime video. With those two devices you can still get framerate matching as well. However, the new consoles have a ton of issues that haven't been fully resolved, so if that's your goal, I would look elsewhere or wait till there's a confirmed firmware fix released. The 2020 V/M series was updated 20 days ago, so it could be a short wait, but it could also be another 7 months, or never.

P.S. there's a lot of audio sync delay if you're not in game low latency mode, and the post processing on this TV is kind of necessary for content for judder removal.

I have the 65 pqx-h1 and love it! Sure work arounds but it does what I want it to do. My Ps5 though most of the time it works but handshake issues are a thing. Xsx works better with the handshakes but room for improvement if ever.

I’m hoping Sony addressed the handshake issues in yesterday’s update. If not December is their next planned update when they’re turning VRR on. So maybe then.

Do not buy this TV. It’s been 10 months of total disappointment. 120hz!! Hell I’ll be happy if my TV could handle any 4K content. This TV has all kinds of artifacts when watching 4K. Now after the latest firmware update I’m getting all kinds of HDMI handshake issue. Switching inputs now takes about 10 to 15 secs to go from a blank screen to an actual picture. Also it randomly goes to a blank screen when turning the volume up or down. And on top of it CEC is totally broken again. This TV is a steaming pile of shit. Vizio is going to replace but I don’t have high hopes that the replacement will work any better. DO NOT BUY THIS TV

i'm finding a buyer to buy my tv replacement. this TV constantly has problems in terms of usage - i use the 65" model and it's a horrid mess.

Software is a bit buggy with turning it on. Press the power-button and the thing turns itself on and off like three times before it settles down. And sometimes it forgets CEC devices that are connected to it.

I don't game and only use it to watch TV and Movies.

P85QX-H1 has been great for me. Lot of value for 2k. I don't use the smart or processing features much. Would buy another.

I just bought this tv for 300 Dollars brand new so I'm not going to complain. I have hooked up to ps5. Haven't played any 120 hertz yet. I don't really yet but I use this guy's setting on this tv. https://youtu.be/L4nlD95C50w
