Vizio P55-F1 Pixel Pattern Issue ?

[pixelgrinch]

I am coming from the M Series (M50-C1 - 2015) and was so happy with it that when came to upgrade, I decided to go for the more expensive and feature rich P Series (P55-F1 2018).

I use this Vizio primarily with my laptop for work, to play games and watch movies.

The P-Series shows a bad pixel pattern, which is pretty annoying. I didn't expect this behavior upgrading to a better series. The M series did not have this issue at all, it showed perfectly smooth colors, not the P series, I am afraid (Photos attached for comparison).

For movies this is really not noticeable, but working on the desktop, it is!

I am wondering if this is a defect or if anybody else is observing this behavior.

I am using this Vizio with my MSI (GS63 STEALTH-010) Laptop I purchased from BestBuy a couple months ago. I tried all HDMI Ports with several different computer, the behavior is the same.

Your upgraded TV is likely to have more and different video processing features than the cheaper one. Try turning all that junk off.

@americanaudiophile I turned off all that 'junk' to no avail

If the same problem happens with a different source then it's the TV. If you got the TV from a store bring your laptop there and try it on the same model set. That will tell you if yours is defective or they have a problem with that model.
