    Very happy with this nearly-perfect TV but there is an issue to be fixed.
    I have been daily using this Vizio Red P-Series 55inch 4K HDR Smart TV since November last year, and I can confidently say that this is an outstanding TV in many aspects. It is cheaper than top-tier brands such as Samsung, LG, and Sony, while still having many advanced functions seen in those top-tier brands (for examples, Dolby Vision, high refresh rate, wide color gamut, superb contrast, and low latency), thereby making it distinctly better than affordable brands such as TCL, Toshiba, Insignia, and so on. Meanwhile, the reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 is because of Dolby Vision. There have been a growing number of people, including me, who connect Xbox One console to TVs to play games and watch TV series using software installed on the console. I recently realized that this specific Vizio product does not currently support Dolby Vision on Xbox One X, which is a bit disappointing because Dolby Vision is one of strengths of this otherwise perfect product. After some research on user communities on internet, it has turned out that the issue is on Vizio’s end, and Vizio needs to update the TV’s software to support Dolby Vision on Xbox One X. People have been anxiously waiting for the update to happen and once the update is done (Vizio indicated that they have been working on it), I can give 5 out of 5 to this TV.

    This tv is amazing. Picture quality is beautiful. The price was so much cheaper then anywhere else. The only little thing I dont like is if you want to use the casting features or the streaming features of the tv, you have to agree to let them track your watching habits. If you are ok with that, and I think all tvs nowadays do this, then it's amazing for the price. Other then that, which can be bypassed with a fire stick or something, then it is a perfect buy.

    Firstly, I didn't by the red series vizio p but I am so mad at my vizio p right now I am writing this review!
    There's not alot to say other then while I am typing this I am waiting on my t.v to come on.
    That should answer your questions.
    The $250 t.v in the living room that works with Alexa works better then this one!

    Ummm... Where do I begin. The picture is good. No doubt about that. But make sure to get the picture settings from good TV reviewing websites. Or else the picture will look absolutely horrible. Default settings were literally the worst they could pick.
    This is where it begins. Quality control is so damn bad with this TV.

    The smartcast interface is so bad it's not even funny. Feels like software was written in 1990. It crashes. It doesn't load sometimes and sometimes works.
    Biggest problem? The casting feature doesn't work. I can't detect the built in Chrome cast on my network. It worked only twice. Rest of the times it doesn't work. I called Vizio support and they said all their p55red f1 suffer from this. And that there is NO solution to this. Wtf? If you. Have a fire TV or Apple TV or ps then you should be fine, as that will become your Interface. But if you don't, then just avoid this TV. The issues and problems are not worth the money man. In 2018 nobody should be put through such bad software and design.

    Edit:
    So I bought a Nvidia Shield TV and I dont have to deal with Vizio's OS. And also make sure to keep the power mode settings to quick start. Or else the TV will take like minutes to start. Not kidding.

    After about one month of research this is the I've settled on. First off I strictly purchased this TV for gameing. The response time is one of the fastest I've tested even in 4k. The picture is amazing and hdr content is even better. It also looks stunning with it's red accents. If your buying this TV for the smart TV functionality then don't. It's slow and awkward. There is no gameing tv under $1,000 that even comes close to this set. Definitely buy the red one if u can.

    This tv is great. And the red bezel is fantastic. Great looking tv even when off. But...
    I hate the remote. I bought a different vizio remote with a keyboard on the back. Its a little better. But. You can't zoom on Netflix. This tv won't let you. I watch a LOT of Star Trek and like zooming in so it's not in letterbox mode. But this tv doesn't allow it. Thank god the picture qualilty is mind blowing (if you pay the 4k upcharge on netflix). Watching blue planet in 4k is absolutely fabulous. Itd be nice if more content was in4k.
