Visually the Samsung is better with higher grade components which makes TVs last longer but cost and screen size the Vizio wins. I chose the Samsung based on quality and longevity and paid more. I've owned vizio Tv's but was floored by the Samsung when it was in my home. I also have a friend that owns the 60 inch vizio and he even says the picture is better on mine but he liked the price of the vizio but you get what you pay for.

In answer to your question, I am thrilled with my 75 Samsung's pictures. Have three Vizio Florida and they are a good picture but not as much depth as the Samsung. I have been told that Samsung is a better design, and having just junked an 80 inch two year old Sharp A reliability was one thing I was looking for!!

Thanks for the reply, Judah. Since posting my?, I wound up getting a Vizio 32" that Amazon had last week on a Lightning Deal. Couldn't pass it up - 1080p, 120 hz, all the connections I needed, 200x200 VESA mount size & at a great price.

Neither am I. I did the same, researching different TVs and couldn't decide. I didn't want something with all the bells and whistles and finally decided on this one, mostly for the price. I think between the two, you get the same quality, just different brands. Hope this helps.

I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own. The price difference is very close, so I consider the price as not a factor. The 240MHZ refresh rate was a big deal for me and I still think it's worth having. The picture is very smooth on DVD's and Blue Ray. HDTV is really nice as well. Standard definition is noticably worse, but I guess that's why they went to HD. The 3D is really cool. I didn't buy the TV for 3D, but it's one of my favorite features now. I've owned it for several months with no problems. Bottom line, if it was stolen off my wall, I'd buy another one to replace it. I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

Tough to compare at 80" there are only Sharp and Vizio, i am not a friend of Sharp and I think for that size Vizio has the better pictureIf you go with a tv smaller than 80" you have better choices and pictures, like Panasonic or Sony, and I think Plasma has the better picture anyway. Best to go to a store to compare yourself.

I agree with M. Barnes. Probably little difference between the two. Check Vizio's webpage at http://store.vizio.com/. Compare the two models tech specs and narrow your choice that way.

I would say Vizio is a more highly respected brand. My brother ha a 32" lcd Vizio and I have the 32" led Coby. The picture on both is great, but the sound on the Vizio is WAY better than my Coby. That said, there is usually a significant difference in price, so depending on the intended usage (my Coby is a secondary TV), you might be just fine with it. If you are an avid TV/movie watcher, and this TV will be your primary one, I would suggest going with a Vizio TV rather than a Coby one.

The ea9800 is brighter and gets slightly better color. It also handles motion slightly better too if you are very particular. You can see reviews off both sets at "televisions.reviewed.com". The differences will be too subtle to distinguish in normal viewing however but it provides more bragging rights for vidoephilles like me.

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it seriously. I've reviewed a lot of different tv's, this one looks like the best...I particularly like the 50,000:1 ratio. The only thing holding me back is, I've heard that new models of Blu Ray DVD are coming out later this summer that are much improved... Anyway, I saw this (the 46" model) in a store, and it looks VERY nice...

I first got the A3 108i model, which I liked very much, outputting to my (only) 1080i LG 37" TV. Recently, I got an open-box A35 from BB for $75! It looks actually quite a bit better, on the same TV! Here is my review of the LG TV (8000:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms speed, and XD picture enhancement). Even my SD Dish Satellite looks pretty darn good! You can follow that to my A3 review ($50-99 at places such as Newegg.com)--also up-converts, but not quite as well as the A35. http://www99.epinions.com/content_408499097220

I bought Vizio 80" and am very happy with it. Can't beat the large screen. Think Vizio has the best price/quality equation

cannot compare as i dont know. All i can say is that the TV i have is fantastic, the 3D is amazing, colors amazing, vibrant white, black is intense. In my opinion the smart TV side is not so good as it freezes frequently. Screen reproduction is amazing... Its very shiny, like Glass so this has to be in a Dark room, very little light as reflections are an issue. Our living room has window shutters therfore its not an issue...

The HX800 is an awesome set. You'll get HD on a Vizio and other cheaper brands, but it's not going to be HQ... I was ok with Samsung, Magnavox, and Sharp HDTVs until I got used to watching this set.

You know i just realized this is a forum for the 720p model - I already have a 720p hdtv and I'm actually looking at the 1080p model. Looking for that one to drop another $100 (hint hint Amazon) before I jump in to get one.
