I agree with you in that you can get a sub $300 55” 4K. But you get what you pay for.
Interestingly, I purchased an M series Vizio (this model), but larger screen size last summer and completely LOVE IT. Image is quality and the smart tv is really easy to use: I can use Vudu, amazon prime, and google Cast to the tv without any additional dongles. I use Directv, so I don’t need the tuner.
There are two sets series TVs under this series d series (avg ~$399), e series (~$449), and then the M series ($699), which I think one of their top series.
Fast forward to this past month: I purchased one of those $300 tvs. Quality is shite. Pancake faces. Limited HDR, low brightness. I realized how good an M series tv is. I returned that one.
This is a really good tv for a really good price and you get a subwoofer saving you $60-$100 more.
