    <p>Best Buy staff have not received commission on sales in over 25 years at least but the sales guy still should not have disparaged any product.</p>

    <p>Last night my wife and I were commenting on how much better the picture is on the $200 TCL Roku 55 in 4k TV I bought at Target a few weeks ago versus the $1,200 Vizio M-series 70-inch 4k TV we have in the living room. The Vizio is a few years old and lacks HDR, so maybe that is the difference.</p>

    <p>I recently got a Vizio TV on sale (last year's P-Series Quantum) and I'm very happy with it… except for the CRAZY REFLECTIVE SCREEN!!</p><p><br></p><p>All TVs now seem to be so horribly reflective, presumably because any non-reflective coating would mean they can't boast about having enough nits to fry your eyeballs. </p><p><br></p><p>I genuinely hope that the next big shift in "premium" screen is non-reflective screens rather than just more pixels that nobody in a real living room can detect. The whole 8k thing is utter nonsense.</p>

    <p>Vizio TVs are excellent. I've owned 2 and loved both of them, and anything M-series/P-series and up are great.</p><p><br></p><p>Also, I would suggest that you don't wait for Vizio's CES TVs. Generally, the models they've announced at past CES shows haven't been widely available in stores until July-ish of that year.</p>
