Both 4K. Vizio 5 more inches. Samsung curved. Same price.

If you're considering using this for a good chunk of gaming, go with Vizio. If you don't care about that, then I hear the curve display is great.

While this is mostly true, Vizio is getting better and better. In fact, a lot of sites recommend them for not only their price point, but for quality as well. On top of that, Samsung's 4k TV's have severe input lag and that is not good for someone who wants to do a bulk of their gaming on said TV. Between these two specific models, Vizio is the better choice, hands down.

Why is the 70 inch vizio 58$ per year in energy costs when the 65 inch Samsung is only 18$ in energy cost per year? It is only 5 inches smaller.

Word. I'm not denying that vizios qualitys gone up, but still not enough in my opinion to compete with the likes of samsung, sony, lg, sharp and toshiba which are the best brands in my opinion.

Phillips however, has shown some very massive, substantial improvement from the past.

It weights nearly twenty pounds more, so that's probably the biggest factor I would guess. I'm not too sure about it though.

Weight, like someone else said as well as the smaller size will contribute to the lower energy costs. And, maybe because Samsung is a better manufacturer?? I'd be willing to bet their production values are much higher than Vizio across the board from the low end TVs on up.

The vizio is now $500 off (so $2000) at Costco online. It's already sold out but the discount is good through Christmas Eve. If they re-stock it by then, I think I have to pull the trigger.
