I have owned both. These are my thoughts:
Vizo Pros:
-better picture in a dark room
- apps that you cast with Vizio can pass Dolby Digital + to the receiver
- more future proof since it has Dolby Vision and HDR10(at a later date)
- best for gaming; lowest input lag
- can create multiple picture configurations
Vizio Negatives:
- no internal apps and you can't get Amazon on the tablet
- no tuner
- app interface is done through the tablet which means you have to deal with the mobile version of apps. This is a negative because the TV version of apps like Netflix and Vudu allow you to do scene selection, while the mobile versions you have to mess with the slider and hope you stop at the right point
- casting requires more steps . i.e, open app, find content, hit cast button, select device to cast to. Then if you switch between apps you have to start those steps all over.
- larger bezel
Samsung Pros:
- better picture in a brightly lit room
- has Amazon
- better colors
- built in tuner
- apps are easy to access; can be pinned right to the home screen launch, switching between apps and OTA TV content is faster and requires less steps
- small bezel
- Samsung Negatives:
- light bleed
- blooming when seeing white text with a black background
- limited to the picture modes the TV comes with Standard, Dynamic, Movie as opposed to being able to create and save a picture mode named "PS4" for example.
- poor remote; needs more buttons
- TV won't passthrough Dolby Digital+ from apps like Netflix and Vudu. It converts DD+ to DD before sending it to your receiver
- Only has HDR10. Not an issue if you buy 4k Blu-rays, but streaming content in HDR10 is very limited.
