VIZIO OLED TV Price Drop! 55-inch $900; 65-inch $1500 - As Good As Black Friday?

Best Buy USA has dropped the prices for the VIZIO OLED TV if you are a member: the 55-inch VIZIO OLED55-H1 is now down to $899.99; whereas the 65-inch OLED65-H1 has been reduced to $1499.99. These are prices that are unlikely to be beaten even on Black Friday.

Thanks to Tyler Pruitt of Portrait Displays for the heads up, and Chris Heinonen of The Wirecutter for the Best Buy Member price screenshot.

We also give some preliminary findings for our eventual VIZIO OLED review, including an HDMI 2.1 bandwidth of 40Gbps rather than 48Gbps, as reported by the excellent Murideo Seven-G signal generator.

This was a brilliant move by Vizio to literally drop the prices right before the next gen consoles release. They're going to get their OLED into so many gamers hands.

Wow, I am a certified ISF calibrator but I can assure you, it would be the greatest honour and privilege to work with and learn from you, Vincent. Pity I am in Canberra, Australia a very long way from Manchester (Go United !!) cheers mate.

Bought one the day I seen this. was considering the TCL 6 or going up to the Samsung Q80t, but for a similar price I got an OLED.

[stevetaylorftw]

I’m recalling your Vizio OLED unit in a week! Best review it soon 😀

[kevsaccount]

That price point right in time for next gen consoles...

[DEUSCRYPTO]

Love the VIDz Bro, keep em' coming! You are one of the reasons us consumers know more about TVs than the folks who work in the TV section at the stores... salute

[nSpiraliArchitectb]

I'd apply for the support position in a heartbeat if I were located in the UK - what an awesome opportunity someone will get working with Vincent.

Bought one last night! Can’t wait for your review!

[daoud]

Picked it up. Easy setup although I was deathly scared of handling because it’s both heavy and thin at the same time.

The picture quality is a quantum shift and from what I was using before....4K Samsung and Vizio led. My eyes have to adjust. Tested out a bunch of movies including the GOT infamous dark episode and have a new appreciation for the fight scene.

Been waiting a while because couldn’t justify a 1500 price tag for oled, jumped at 899 from Best Buy.

$900 for a 55" OLED?!?!?!?

Nobody has any excuse, now.

[gavinbuck]

It makes me a little disheartened that there are no quality 4k TVs made at 40"- 43" even some of the 49" and 50" TVs no longer have 120hz panels, my room is too small for these 55"+ TVs.
My 12yo 40" Samsung packed up a month ago it would've been nice to replace it with something the same size, but there are so many concessions made in order to get a smaller TV.

[philsalley]

What I would like to know is if you are watching cable tv, YouTube, Netflix how much difference is their really in all these tv's. Would most people notice a significant difference between a $600 65" Samsung Crystal (cheapest) and top tier Samsung $2500 QLED, vs LG OLED. Ie, real world viewing not ultimate lab testing of 4K or 8K to determine the technical best sets. My 6 year old 1080 Samsung still looks very good. Same type question for upscaling 1080. I've heard that a lot of these sets can actually make for a worse picture.

[marvdatboi]

That’s a great price point for the 55 but for the 65 I’d rather spend a few hundred more a cx but if your on a budget this is great news

Vincent doing Yeoman’s work. First I’ve heard of only 40 Gbps on vizio oled’s. Looking forward to his review. Wish he were able to review the pq/pqx as well.

[ye-rochawkins]

I wish I lived over there across the pond. Working with you would be a dream come true lol. 😅 Unfortunately, I’m in the states. I’ve always have had a passion for display tech, and am always looking to learn more, and spend more time with these amazing displays. I look up to you a lot, and you’re expertise. You are the real deal man. A true professional!

[marcmoreau]

Vincent you are killing me!! I was all set to buy the LG CX and you release this new video about Vizio's price drop at Best Buy US. Key Question: LG CX 65 @ $1849 or Vizio OLED 65H1 @ $1500. Is LG CX 65 worth $350 price difference vs Vizio OLED 65???

[wrinkleneckbass]

Damn, for some reason I thought he was talking about LG TV's and I was getting ready to jump in my car to go to Best Buy. Then I realized he was talking about Vizio. I knew it sounded too good to be true.

[qudamaa]

Ps: you're the best, keep what you doing. Cheers! 👍🏻

[gaelleon]

I got it today at Best Buy and it’s amazing 🤩

[NinerRick]

I bought the LG CX OLED 65' and the sn10yg soundbar with meridian speakers and dolby atmos for under 3k after tax. Was this a good deal? It's getting delivered Wednesday.
