The Samsung QN95B is a premium-priced TV that typically costs much more than the Vizio M-Series. It offers superior overall picture quality, is better suited for gaming with higher gaming and response time performance, and excels in bright room settings. If you watch a lot of movies, sports, or enjoy gaming, and can afford a higher-priced TV, it may be a better choice. On the other hand, the Vizio M-Series is priced lower and offers good performance for its price range, with decent quality for movies and cartoons. It has adequate performance in dark rooms but may struggle in brightly lit environments. If you're on a budget and mainly watch movies or non-sports content in a dark or moderately-lit room, you may prefer the Vizio M-Series. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN95B is very good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast, excellent black uniformity, and robust local dimming that contribute to deep blacks and detailed shadows, which are essential for movie viewing. In comparison, the Vizio M-Series is good, with a higher native contrast ratio that aids in producing dark scenes well, but it has poorer local dimming and black uniformity, which means it doesn't handle dark scenes quite as well as the Samsung.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN95B is excellent for watching news and talk shows as it excels at upscaling lower resolution content and delivers bright, vivid colors straight out of the box. In contrast, the Vizio M-Series is good in these aspects, offering decent upscaling and color performance, but doesn't match the Samsung's brightness and color refinement, which could be noticeable in a bright room or when viewing content with varying quality.
