Pulled the trigger on the VIZIO 60" 4K Ultra HD 240Hz LED Smart TV (M60-C3)
Should deliver this week. Will report back with some feedback. |
Just be aware that if you enable the Smart TV features you are sending all your viewing habits to Vizio so they can sell those to advertisers.

Vizio’s technology works by analyzing snippets of the shows you’re watching, whether on traditional television or streaming Internet services such as Netflix. Vizio determines the date, time, channel of programs — as well as whether you watched them live or recorded. The viewing patterns are then connected your IP address - the Internet address that can be used to identify every device in a home, from your TV to a phone.
IP addresses can increasingly be linked to individuals. Data broker Experian, for instance, offers a “data enrichment” service that provides “hundreds of attributes” (pdf) such as age, profession and “wealth indicators” tied to a particular IP address.
