UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BUY THIS TV!!!!

BUYER BEWARE!!! Please read my review, save yourself some heartache and headache and stay FAR AWAY FROM THIS SET!!! I bought this television after reading MANY reviews, on multiple different websites, I knew of the few issues, but I had no idea how extensive they really were when it came to the reasons I actually bought this TV. If you want quality 4K picture and HDR you do NOT want this TV. If you want to play 4k Blu Rays on your XB1 you do NOT want this tv. If you want to play HDR content via your PS4 Pro you do NOT want this TV. I knew from day one that HDR10 was an OTA update, and I knew going in there were some compatibility issues with the XB1 S and HDR. Little did I know these issues actually extend to the 4k specs as well.
Every 10 seconds with HDR on you will experience black out on your PS4 or PS4 pro, or you'll receive a snow screen as if you have no signal. You'll get this this on your XB1 and XB1 S as well. Updates have since been given to help, but they have actually made it worse. Now sometimes with HDR on my TV will go completely black and cannot be turned back on without first turning the TV off and then turning it back on.
I of course reached out to customer service and sent pictures of my issues and in depth explanation of having used MULTIPLE EXPENSIVE HDMI cables and trying various resets and trouble shooting. I'm savvy with this stuff, so of course sifting through forums and the like I did first before contacting Vizio. I spoke with someone who was fairly helpful and after a few back and forth emails she setup and exchange. I get the new TV and immediately get the same issues, so I'm thinking.. okay, maybe its a source issue. I fully reset my PS4 pro and XB1 S to original settings and hook them back up and nope still an issue. I have 4 other televisions in my house, and they do NOT have the same issues on those sets. With the new TV though I started experiencing issues with HDR OFF. This being extremely troubling I contacted the same customer service rep and this time created a YouTube video, she immediately sent me out a new set. This new set was wrapped in blue tape that the installers didn't take off, the first TV was sent in clear tape. I should have taken that as a red flag, but I start using the TV and bring my Oppos player downstairs to this TV from my Sony upstairs and use the 4k and HDR and have no issues. I take the blue tape off and there is damage on the bottom of the screen. Upset now, I get on the phone with Vizio and they make me run and jump through hoops to say that its a source issue and not their TV. This is terrible, I've used multiple HDMI cables, I have multiple TV sets like everyone else in America and I have NO issues with HDR or 4k on any other TV. They offered to replace my TV one more time or to have someone come out and do an onsite inspection. I told them I want to replace the TV with a different Vizio model and I'LL EVEN PAY THE DIFFERENCE. They refused, they refused to refund as well. They want to keep giving me the same bad TV that is NOT functional with HDR or 4k programming and the positive reviews on this site I can guarantee you are people not using HDR or true 4k content. My Oppos player is the only HDR piece of equipment that works on this TV which shows me its a TV compatibility issue with PS4 PRO and XBOX ONE S and something that will not be rectified. I wasted $2k on this TV and gave Vizio a chance, it was a huge mistake and I BEG EACH OF YOU NOT TO DO THE SAME. DO NOT BUY THIS TV, GET A BETTER TV... do NOT be a bargain shopper! If I don't sell this TV 2nd hand it'll go in my garage and be replaced with a set I know is functional. I could not be more disappointed with the treatment, and overall terrible experience of this product and again beg each of you to NOT BUY THIS TV.
