Vizio takes on Sharp with its new 80-inch M-Series LED TV

By Caleb Denison Published June 13, 2013

Until now, if you wanted an 80-inch TV, you pretty much had to look to Sharp. But now Vizio is in the game, and, as has come to be expected from the company, it is shaking things up.

The new 80-inch leviathan is part of Vizio’s refreshed M-Series, so it will come with a super-thin bezel and slim profile, providing an edge-to-edge picture that we found pretty impressive during our CES 2013 preview. Along with the TV will come Vizio’s latest remote design, which combines Wi-Fi and universal remote functions to control an entire home theater’s worth of equipment.

Naturally, this will be a Smart TV outfitted built-in Wi-Fi and apps for Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, VUDU, Pandora, YouTube and Facebook on board. This will also be a 3D TV, and since Vizio is part of the passive 3D camp, you can expect extra 3D glasses will come cheap.

The suggested retail price for this set is $4,000. Ultimately, we’ll see that number go down, but for now that’s the price we’re seeing at Amazon. You can also find this TV right now at Best Buy, Costco, Sam’s Club and Walmart.

When it comes to top-selling TVs, a brand you can always trust is Samsung. The company makes exceptional LEDs, QLEDs, OLEDs, and even QD-OLEDs, and we’re always on the lookout for the best Samsung TV deals. And guess what? We came across a fantastic offer on Samsung QLEDs just earlier today. Right now, when you purchase the Samsung 65-inch QN90D, you’ll only spend $1,500. While that still may sound expensive, let us remind you that the list price of this model is $2,700. We actually reviewed the 98-inch version of this Sammy QLED a while ago, and our TV expert, Caleb Denison, said it best: “The QN90D series is excellent, but the 98-inch model fell apart for us.”

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch QN90D
Spec-wise, the 65-inch QN90D is a high-performance QLED with mini-LED lighting. Resolution tops out at 4K, and the native refresh rate is as high as 144Hz, which is excellent for PC gamers. HDMI 2.1, VRR, and ALLM are standard across all inputs, too. That way, you’ll always be getting the best frame-to-frame speeds and the lowest input lag possible. The QN90D also supports all modern HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
