Will this include the M657-G0?

No, just the M658-G1 for now. We haven’t decided if we will review the simpler M Series TVs, it will depend if there is enough interest.

I’d reckon there is no reason to buy the M657-G0 now that M658-G1, costs exactly the same with a $100 discount. The G1 was actually $50 cheaper briefly during the July 4th week sales. Even without said discount I’d pay the $100 difference for what I’d imagine is a significantly better panel.

How do you think the G1 compares to the 2018 p series? I’m deciding between these two. Patiently waiting for the rtings review of the G1 and if it is better hope to get it while it is on sale!

Have had the same dilemma, have been waiting for Rtings to review the new one. But now I’m leaning towards the M-G1 since most stores must out of PF1 2018 stocks by now.

I don’t think its even remotely fair to compare Joelster’s G0 which has 20 dimming zones with a G1 which will have 90, considering that are most likely using the same algorithm (same manufacturer after all). I’ would have been shocked if the G0 model didn’t have blooming issues.

I was waiting for the review but couldn’t pass up the 150 off sale last week.

But yea the blooming is not really a problem on the G1.
