VIZIO VFQ43M-10 43" QLED Smart TV vs Samsung U8000H 43" Crystal UHD 4K TV

The Samsung U8000H is the better TV for most people. It gives you real 4K resolution, HDR10+ and HLG, three HDMI ports and Samsung's Tizen platform with Gaming Hub. The VIZIO VFQ43M-10 is only 1080p, so it shows fewer pixels on the same 43-inch screen, and its QLED layer cannot make up for that. Owners of both rate them closely, but the Samsung's extra inputs and 4K upscaling make it the stronger long-term pick.

  • Choose the VIZIO VFQ43M-10 if you mainly watch 1080p cable, DVDs or older consoles and want a simple smart TV with WatchFree+ free channels.
  • Choose the Samsung U8000H if you stream in 4K, own a current console, or want three HDMI ports and cloud gaming through Gaming Hub.

What reviewers say

VIZIO VFQ43M-10 43" QLED Smart TV

  • 4.3 / 55,311 ratings

With 4.3 out of 5 from 5,311 ratings, owners largely see this as strong value for a small, bright QLED set. Complaints center on the limited HDMI count, average sound and the account requirement for smart features.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say the QLED panel delivers bright, saturated color that beats typical budget TVs.
  • ValuePraisedBuyers repeatedly call it a lot of TV for the money at this size.
  • HDMI portsCriticisedTwo HDMI inputs are seen as too few once a console and streaming stick are connected.
  • SoundCriticisedReviewers find the built-in speakers thin and recommend a soundbar.

Samsung U8000H 43" Crystal UHD 4K TV

  • 4.4 / 55,790 ratings

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bedroom?
Both fit a bedroom at 43 inches. The Samsung is the better pick if you stream 4K services, because the extra detail shows at close viewing distance. The VIZIO is fine for casual 1080p viewing.
Is the VIZIO QLED better than the Samsung LED?
Not overall. QLED improves color and brightness, but the VIZIO is 1080p while the Samsung is 4K. Resolution matters more at this size, so the Samsung wins on picture detail.
Which has better HDR?
The Samsung. It supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. The VIZIO handles HDR10 only, and only through HDMI, so built-in apps do not get HDR.
Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung. It adds Gaming Hub for cloud games, Motion Xcelerator and a 120Hz mode for lower lag. The VIZIO has Auto Low Latency Mode but a 60Hz panel and two HDMI ports.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes for most shoppers. You get 4K, an extra HDMI port, more HDR formats and a wider app platform. Step down to the VIZIO only if you watch mostly 1080p content and want AirPlay.
Which lasts longer?
Samsung markets itself as the top-rated TV brand for durability, and both are 60Hz LED-based sets with similar lifespans. Neither has a clear edge in owner reports.
