Which has the better picture, the Samsung U8000H or the VIZIO VQD43R-10?

The VIZIO. Its quantum-dot QLED panel produces brighter, more saturated color than the Samsung's standard direct-lit LED panel, and it adds Dolby Vision. The Samsung counters with Motion Xcelerator and DLG 120 Hz for smoother motion.

Is the VIZIO worth $8.80 more than the Samsung?

Yes if you care about color and Dolby Vision, since $206.80 at Sam's Club is close to $198.00 at Walmart. No if you want the lowest price and Samsung's Tizen apps and Gaming Hub.

Which is better for gaming?

The Samsung, on paper. Both are 60 Hz panels, but the Samsung adds Motion Xcelerator and a DLG mode that boosts to 120 Hz, plus Gaming Hub for cloud games without a console. The VIZIO's WiFi 6 helps with streaming stability.

Do both support voice assistants?

Yes. Both list Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support. The VIZIO goes further with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Apple Home integration.

Which is better for a bedroom?

Either works at 43 inches. The Samsung weighs 6.5 kg without the stand and has a wired Ethernet option. The VIZIO adds Bluetooth headphone pairing, which helps for private late-night viewing.
