    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    I have two smaller Vizio Ms and both of them are great. Maybe I should return the Hisense if they’ll let me and go for a Vizio P or another M for the theater.

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    I don’t know if Best Buy would take it back since I no longer have the box or packing material. I also haven’t been home much during the past few weeks so my time with this display has still been very limited. I’m not saying the display is completely unwatchable, I just learned that I have to...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Apparently filmmaker mode sets peak brightness to 100 nits for SDR content and HDR is supposed to be brighter, however, I haven’t read an actual number for it and I honestly can’t tell a difference in brightness between the two on the Hisense. Unless your room is completely dark, the picture is...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Hi Peter. Below is my summary from another thread: “This year’s U8G (specifically the 65” variety) has terrible motion issues, even after the latest firmware and TCON “update” and all motion enhancements turned off. Still shots look exceptional but everything else is a step back from what I’m...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    With wifey’s help, I swapped out the plasma for the 4K display. According to Panasonic, the plasma weighs 76lbs but it feels more like 200 when lifting it off the tv stand it’s VESA mounted to and the new display only weighs a paltry 53lbs but, in the shipping container, feels a LOT heavier. I...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Despite me requesting a cancellation of my Walmart order within 20 minutes of placing it, they still shipped the Vizio the next day. FedEx and signature required which doesn’t work well since wifey works graveyard and sleeps during the day so the chances of her hearing the doorbell while asleep...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Disregard both of my above posts. :D After watching a couple of videos by @TheFOMO , I cancelled my Walmart order for the 2021 Vizio P series and ordered a 65" Hisense U8G from Best Buy for the same price. I also get to pick it up from my local store Thursday afternoon instead of it being...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Disregard my above post. I just found the 2021 model (P65Q9-J01) 65" P Series online at Walmart for under $1000 so I went ahead and impulse bought it. Should be delivered by Friday. I'm already getting excited and I know I won't be able to sleep all week.

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    John - Is yours a 2020 or 2021 model? I'm probably going to end up getting a Vizio P series to replace my plasma and am waffling on whether to spend $1300 + tax for a 2021 model or $1079 + tax for the 2020 model on closeout.
