Samsung 65" U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV vs Vizio MQ6 4K QLED Smart TV

The Vizio MQ6 is the better picture for the money: its QLED panel with full-array local dimming beats the Samsung U8000H's edge-lit LED, especially in dark rooms. The Samsung wins on software, with Tizen, Samsung TV Plus and Gaming Hub, and on voice assistants. Buy the Vizio for contrast and HDR impact; buy the Samsung for a smoother, better-supported smart platform.

  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you want the easier smart platform, free Samsung TV Plus channels and Google Assistant or Alexa built in.
  • Choose the Vizio MQ6 if picture quality matters most and you watch in a dark room where local dimming and QLED color show.

What reviewers say

Samsung 65" U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV

Owner feedback on Samsung's entry 4K sets is mixed: people like the picture for the price and the free channels, but note weak black levels and average sound.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityMixedOwners call the 4K picture sharp and colorful but say dark scenes look gray.
  • SoundCriticisedReviewers say the built-in speakers are thin and a soundbar is worth adding.
  • SetupPraisedOwners find Tizen easy to set up and navigate.
  • Free channelsPraisedSamsung TV Plus is a commonly cited plus for free content.

Questions and answers

Which has the better picture?
The Vizio MQ6. Its QLED panel and local dimming produce deeper blacks and brighter highlights than the Samsung's edge-lit LED.
Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung U8000H. It adds Gaming Hub and smoother motion processing, though both are 60Hz sets without high-refresh gaming.
Which smart TV system is easier to use?
Tizen on the Samsung. It is faster, has more apps and includes Samsung TV Plus; Vizio's SmartCast is simpler but slower.
Which is better in a bright room?
Both handle reflections reasonably. The Vizio's brighter highlights help with HDR, while the Samsung's matte finish suits daytime viewing.
Is the Vizio worth stepping up to over the Samsung?
Yes, if you care about contrast and watch movies in a dark room. The Samsung is the pick if you value apps and voice control more.
