Ive never used purchase price protection. I need to get an invoice? Guess i meed to read up on it.
You would submit the invoice for the price you purchased, and then a screen cap of a lower advertised price.
I noticed it in my own testing. Go play a game in a really dark area, HDR. And flip game mode on and off. Difference was enormous on mine, under the right conditions.
It has a pretty large impact under the right conditions. Definitely turn it off for movies.
Well, yeah. To me it's worth turning off for single player games as well. It's a noticeable drop in quality.
Wild, I'll definitely be testing this further tonight.
When you set game mode make sure to set "Local Contrast" back to high. That is why in a dark room it looks worse. You essentially turned off local dimming. It originally defaults to off when you first switch to game mode.
I still have local contrast on high. There's still an impact to IQ.
Rtings shows they've purchased both the 5 and 6 series, and they should be up next now that the Samsung Q7 and Q9 FN reviews have been posted. Any day now!
I'm especially interested in seeing if the 5 is a significant upgrade over the S (direct-lit?).

I use my Xbox one x for my DirecTV box and it's giving this TV all kinds of fits. Flicking, green lines, static and blackouts. But, it works when I connect the box directly to the TV. Anyone know why?
The Xbox one X is flickering green lines just on the Xbox screen and on the insects demo. I'm not sure what's going on...

Yea, something is definitely wrong. When tried Assassins creed origins it's the TV goes black, but comes back with the HDR symbol and flickering lines...
I also have a TV nitch with an hdmi in and out on my shelves. But, when I tried plugging my Xbox one X directly into the TV on HDMI port 3 in the settings only display 4K tv was green using the hdmi cable that came with the Xbox. When I use the HDMI out on my wall everything but 50hz was green. So maybe it's a cable issue. I don't know...

I thought the cable that came with the Xbox One X was supposed to be decent? Guess I'll order some from Amazon since the only ones I have are I know are 1.4 HDMI.
Also when trying to watch TV With my Directv box through my Xbox it says your device doesn't support the content protection and if you want to watch this content consider using component cables which I thought was weird while flickering and staticky. Plugging the box directly into the TV it works just fine...

I already caved and went and got it lol. don't think the trunk opening is big enough anyway, but actually I just picked it up and surprisingly it fit in back. Center console area made me have to wiggle it in a little but it fits perfect and isn't blocking my rear or blind spots. Google had me worried.
Nice, unfortunately the P605 didn't fit in the back of my Sentra when I picked it up a couple months ago. Had to leave it at Best Buy and go borrow a relatives vehicle that had enough space.
Might be the 2017 model, but I've been extremely happy with this tv thus far.
Edit: ok, I guess the TCL had to warm up for a bit or something, because it's fine now. Sorry for the waste of a post

So I won't get my new certified premium HDMI cables until Friday. But, I used the cables that were giving me issues with my Xbox one x on my PS4 Pro and they worked just fine 4K HDR on GOW looked amazing. But, I can't watch a 4K Blu Ray, play a 4K game in HDR longer than 5 mins without picture issues on my Xbox one X. Hopefully the new cables solve my issues, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Xbox being in the preview program. But, I've gotten to test this tv with apps on the TV like Netflix and YouTube and the Dolby vision app and this TV is amazing. Out of the box the picture is really good and I can't wait until I find some settings for it...
Weird, if they work for PS4 you think they'd work fine for Xbox.
Delivered brown box from Amazon and Pilot. Hoping it's all good. Just edges out the 60 size, but looking forward to the picture.
Ended up cancelling my order on Amazon after waiting several weeks for it to fulfill. At this point, I'll wait on the rtings review and keep saving for the right choice.
Trying to visualize the size upgrade. But the screen and white and definitely better than the 2013 Vizio 60.
yeah you may want to post a 60 FPS video.. 30 FPS really makes it hard to see stuff like this.
Enjoying my new 6 series. One thing that bothers me however, is that there doesn't seem to be any way to see what the TV is running at (i.e. resolution, refresh, HDR). I know the HDR has icon that will appear briefly, but is there really no way to get basic picture info?
Too late. I already sent it back yesterday, so I'm not worrying about it anymore :)
FWIW the replacement Amazon sent me was even worse:
Rtings must be getting so much traffic from us checking their site every day lol
Hit the ok button when you're doing nothing. Sometimes double click it
Dam you Americans. Us Canucks here are stuck looking at refurbished last year models. We always have the shittiest selection
What test should I run? Colors and brightness? From my eyes it looks good, but they feel over powered.
After reading way too many issues of vertical banding and dark corners, I guess I'll hold off til these issues are addressed. Bummer.
Yup, I have that on my set as well. Anyone here think I should return it to BestBuy because from what I understand it's just kind of a thing with LED panels
Damn. If it looks anything like the pic then I definitely would. Is this a widespread issue with the 55" or just the 65"?
Yea, there is just hit the OK button and it'll show it on the bottom of the screen. Doesn't say HDR but, you'll know that by the hdr indicator in the top right when you start hdr content...
Got my 55 inch.
Zero complaints.
Tried some 4k demo stuff then god of war and horizon.
Very pleased.

I had some of this the first night I used it but it seems to have gone away. I'll try some stuff later tonight.
TV looks fantastic.
My 55" was that bad I sent it back. Luckily my replacement was much better. If I look at a plain screen I can kind of make out a small section with banding, but only when looking close at a still white screen. In actual use I have never been able to notice it.
Does the plastic bar under the center do anything, and my power circle just flickers when inputs.
And the Xboxir blaster doesn't work with it. :(
Maybe I can find a manual code.

Third panel. Decided to try my luck at Best Buy. Its uniformity is better, but it's still not great and I can still see some banding. I see a little bit of darkened corners, and most annoying, there's a cm or so long hair of dirt in the middle left screen that's visible 8 ft away.
I'm going to hold onto it for a week and see if the banding improves; I feel like it's gotten better since I first turned it on at least. I am, however, considering just returning it and waiting for the new vizio p series reviews. It's a bit more expensive, but it may be worth it if I'm planning to hold onto this set for several years.

I can't get the Kinect to turn mine on either. But my soundbar might partially be blocking it because if I use the remote I have to point it upwards. Just seems compared to my old 4k Vizio that the IR isn't strong...
