The 2012/13 Vizio E series was horrid. I literally replaced 30 in about 20 days. That was just my crew, we had 5 crews going out everyday in the Birmingham area. Their screens blacked out after about a month. They have fixed them, but Samsung has never had a major problem like that.

I have samsungs in the bedrooms and like them alot. Picture on my Vizio in the Living room has formed 2 thin black lines vertically down the screen. Barely noticeable but once you see it it's all i can focus on. Really hard to beat a Samsung.

I wouldn't call it horrid, but the newer Vizio M series is much much better than the E series. I'd go with the Samsung unless you go with the newer Vizio M series.

I only own Samsungs, and I've been very impressed and happy with 2 out of the 3 I own. The only one I'm meh on is the LED one. I have an LCD, LED and a plasma. The plasma is by far the best performing one, but it suffers in bright light.

Samsung makes the best TVs

Only other brand I'd consider is LG

Seconded. You could take the name brands off these TVs and most people would be just fine with either TV. Only people that care are people who appreciate high quality.

I just ordered a 55" Vizio from Sam's for $600 for my back patio. I am a Samsung man through and through but I couldn't pass up the deal on that Vizio. Plus its for the back patio anyways.

I believe Hisense is made by Samsang, I could be wrong though

No love for Sony? I have a 55" Sony LED in my living room and a 42" Samsung in my bedroom, and I prefer the Sony by a pretty decent margin.

I have a buddy that says his parents Sony looks pretty good, but I don't think I've ever seen one outside of the store.

Doesn't Samsung use Sony parts or something like that?

anyone telling you they are offered a choice of either as a gift and they are taking the vizio is a liar.

that said, there are plenty of times where the vizio may end up being a better value due to price difference.
