Great PQ/Buggy OS and Removed Features

I've owned this TV for two weeks now, coming off a 2016 P55-C1 which suddenly refused to power on after about four and half years. The picture quality is great; probably unbeatable at the size/price. However, the operating system is in desperate need for more firmware updates. Lots of bugs. Apps regularly crash and kick you back to the Smartcast home screen and doesn't communicate well with Playstation 5 (120hz and 4k blu-ray playback issues). Also, this TV does not truly have EARC functionality. It will not passthrough multichannel linear PCM, which is the default sound format for the PS5 (as it was on the PS4!). That capability is supposed to be standard for EARC. Another feature I personally used quite often was the USB media player. My old Vizio P-series TV had support for the Exfat format so that larger files could be played. This "flagship" TV only supports fat32, which many modern USB flash drives don't support and limits file sizes to 4 gigabytes. As much as I like the PQ on this TV, I am strongly considering returning it.
I wanted to buy my first 4K TV and waited for the P75QX-H1 to come out based on the early product specifications. I wanted: next gen features, excellent color/contrast, support for all the HDR formats. This TV does not disappoint. I am very happy with my purchase.
I am extremely happy to have made this purchase. It's is the biggest TV screen I have owned to date and I love the amount of detail I can see now that I have missed with my old TV. I also purchased the Vizio sounder with the surround sound and it is amazing.
After months of searching and going over a few other brands, I chose the P85QX-H1 because of it's outstanding picture quality and it awesome tech and feature set. If there is only one negative, it's no HBOMAX app. But that's an easy fix with my PS5 or Series X. This is an absolute must buy if you're shopping for a TV that check's all the boxes and does it in amazing fashion.
Considering this is a mid priced 75" TV it hits the mark quite well. Picture quality is amazing, extremely bright, which we love. I have the Vizio Elevate Sound System that works with this TV to create one stunning experience. The Tv plays 4k and Dolby Atmos sound with this combo.
