They include more frequent updates, access to more apps (again, with the exception of Amazon and iTunes), easier entry of text and search terms using a big touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity so you don't have to aim the clicker.īut personally I found the disadvantages, such as having to futz with the tablet to turn on the TV, shift focus between two screens and rely on the smaller-screen interface, annoying overall. Such an arrangement can have some advantages. Vizio has yet to confirm when exactly that upgrade will be available. For that reason, I'm going to wait until at least one more software upgrade before I fully update this review. Since then I've run some tests and watched some video with HDR10 on the P series, but according to the company it's not yet finished optimizing the TV. Update September 19, 2016: Last month Vizio issued the software update allowing the P- and M-series TVs to work with HDR10 sources like 4K Blu-ray players. The review update promised below never materialized, but I do expect to review the 2017 Vizio P series soon. The review has not otherwise been changed. As a result the rating of the 2016 Vizio P series has been reduced from 8.7 to 8.4. Update June 30, 2017: For 2017 we have updated weighting system we use to figure the overall ratings in TV reviews. Once again, the best TV for the money looks like it will be a Vizio. In fact, right now, the only real challenge to this P-Series on the value horizon is the company's own less expensive, similarly equipped M series. A 'free tablet' might get some people in the door, but a great picture for the price is what makes me like the P-Series so much.
