I reckon it will debut at around £2200 ish, like the XT910, really depends on how many of the features are available at launch as well and what it can do.
I think HLG and HDMI 2.1 will be important for this year.
Would be good if Vizio came to Europe as they are very well priced considering the features in the USA.

This model will definitely be released in the UK and from what I saw on he show floor it looked like a really good performer.Vizio have just been taken over by a Chinese company so it will be interesting to see how they progress ...
In terms of specs this TV it looks pretty much like their high-end 2016 model (minus the curve) that was never released outside Asia - this particular model was shown at IFA in September and reputed to be be releasing shortly after that show, so a June 2017 release is a big fail from Hisense.
They failed to release a high-end TV in 2016 and it will be just shy of 2 years since they released the XT910 so they really need to start getting their products in the shops instead of just demoing them ...

It is but based the discussions I've had here at CES, HDR 10 with dynamic metadata is still a while off.I thought HDMI 2.1 was required for Dynamic HDR10? Which in theory should mitigate some of the blooming on HDR10 material on high nits tvs, plus if it can give an even better picture then its a good thing and its promote able.

If the price is around £2000 it looks like a bargain buy if the black levels are decent.
That price for a top end 70inch tv is staggeringly cheap. I think I will finally invest in a tv this year but 70inch is too big for me.
The 65" currently can be had around £1050 so £3400 for a 70" seems a bit steep for a non-OLEDI wouldn't get your hopes up of it being that cheap, Hisense give an estimated price of around €4000, which works out around £3400 although it will probably retail cheaper when launched.

Depends, it's possible that certain aspects of 2.1 like VRR could be delivered without actually using a full HDMI 2.1 connection. A fully spec'd HDMI 2.1 connection is needed for HFR (100/120p) and 8K but things like dynamic metadata, eARC and VRR could be possible via HDMI 2.0.HDMI 2.1 will be very important to console owners as it allows TV's to perform the equivalent of PC variable refresh rate technology aka Freesync/G-Sync which is all the rage on PC, Microsofts Xbox Scorpio is the first console to support it & they have said they are working with TV makers to bring VRR displays to market (either Freesync or HDMI VRR compatible, Xbox supports both).
So assuming Xbox Scorpio can deliver a similar experience to PC VRR then your leaving a big feature off the table by not having a HDMI 2.1 VRR enabled TV. I would not be buying any TV that doesn't have HDMI 2.1 VRR support if you have an interest in games.
Sony is likely to follow suit and PC users could also make use of VRR displays.
