This 65-inch Vizio 4K HDR Smart TV gets a huge price cut at Walmart

Looking to breathe a new lease of life into your home entertainment setup? You’ve come to the right place — Walmart has knocked $350 off one of Vizio’s finest 65-inch 4K TVs, dropping the price from $1,000 down to a more digestible $650.

Let’s face it, even though it’s been the subject of a $350 price slash, the 65-inch Vizio M-Series 4K TV is no drop in the water at $650. But if you’re looking to cut the cord on cable, it’s a must-have (and not to mention an absolute steal at that price).

So, what makes the M-Series so great for cord-cutting? For starters, it’s equipped with Vizio’s WatchFree service, which provides one-click access to more than a hundred live channels — like Action Movies, Crime Network, and Fox Sports — free of charge.

If you can’t find something to watch live, the M-Series also has a Chromecast built in that can be called upon to watch material through leading streaming services, including Google Play Movies, Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube.

There’s an ample amount of inbound connections for those looking to hook up accessories, including four HDMI slots, two USB ports, and Ethernet — though you shouldn’t need the latter as the TV has 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi on board.

Just like any new(ish) 4K TV, the M-Series can run native 4K out of the box, as well as HD and Full HD in an upscaled 4K Ultra HD format, and has Dolby Vision HDR baked in, which can be enabled to extract additional detail from low-light scenes.

We know what you’re thinking: “That all sounds fantastic, but at $650 it’s still a bit too steep.” And we agree — it’s a lot to fork out on a whim, but if you’re serious about cutting the cord and saving a fair few bucks in the long run, it’s perfect.

That’s because you can access nearly the same selection of content a $105-per-month Xfinity TV subscription delivers for around $40 per month through streaming services, so after seven months of owning the TV, you’d be saving $105 per month.

Still, $650 is hardly the type of cash you’d find hiding down the back of the sofa. Fear not, though, for Walmart is offering customers the chance to take that figure and divide it into twelve more manageable chunks (including interest) of $64 per month.

Samsung S95C OLED hands-on review: it’s time to get excited
Samsung S95C OLED.

What could be worth traveling 3,000 miles in a cramped airplane to New Jersey? The chance to go hands-on with not one, but three of Samsung's most hotly anticipated TVs for 2023.

I got up close and personal with the 65-inch QN95C Neo QLED, the 75-inch QN900C 8K Neo QLED, and the 77-inch S95C QD-OLED. I had Samsung representatives on hand to address questions as I had them, and I got the opportunity to make some comparisons among the TVs that I don't often get a chance to do so soon after the TVs have been announced.

Why aren’t sports in 4K and HDR? It’s harder than you think
Fox Sports Camera

I don’t know if we can pinpoint a moment at which 4K content became normalized -- it sort of snuck up on us -- but today 4K and 4K HDR content is not hard to come by. Netflix, Amazon, Disney +, HBO Max – they all have it, and plenty of it. So we’re starting to get used to it. We’re hungry for 4K and we expect it on our plate. This has a lot of folks wondering: Why is it so hard to get sports in 4K?

Three years ago, I was fortunate enough to fly down to Florida to go behind the scenes with Fox Sports as it delivered the first-ever 4K HDR Super Bowl broadcast. Not only did I get to watch the Fox team do its live daytime broadcasts from South Beach, but I also got to go to roam around Hard Rock Stadium, where I had totally unfettered access to the stadium and all the cameras in it – as well as a massive broadcast compound. I got to go in every production truck, I saw every step of the production, from the cameras to the outbound feeds, and I got every question I asked answered by some of the top video production pros in the business. I learned so much while I was there.

Samsung accidentally reveals price of its 77-inch QD-OLED TV
The Samsung S95C on display at CES 2023.

Usually, when new TVs are announced at CES, it can take months for companies to reveal pricing and availability. And perhaps Samsung was planning to do just that with its 77-inch S95C, its largest QD-OLED TV to date. But the company seemingly let the cat out of the bag on January 26, by including the new model -- and its price -- on its U.S. website, according to Sammobile.

The S95C details are no longer on the website, so Digital Trends can't verify the information, however, a screenshot taken at the time shows a price of $4499.99, making the larger model $1,500 more expensive than its currently available 65-inch S95B, which sells for $3,000. If this seems like a bigger gap in price than we're used to for models that exist in both 65- and 77-inch sizes, it could be because the S95C is going to be Samsung's premium 77-inch QD-OLED, with the planned S90C arriving in a 77-inch size but with fewer features.
