Samsung HW-Q70T vs Vizio M-Series M512a-H6

I bought this 55 inch x900h for around 800 usd where I live, it was the best option by far as the other options sucked hard (ehm Samsung Q70t edge lit) I really wanted FALD and decent HDR brightness which is does have (I installed the x90j firmware on this and hdr brightness has definitely improved), what I really like about this TV is the great black levels for an LED tv, because of FALD, Like it’s obviously not OLED levels but in light viewing conditions I doubt people would notice the difference, blooming is present on the black bars when viewing HDR movies but that’s not really a big deal as you mostly fix your eyes on the actual content, Colors at the start were very muted imo so I tweaked them to my taste and they natural yet vibrant ( btw don’t ever use Vivid mode unless you’re straight up crazy) I mentioned that I installed the x90j firmware, it did noticeably improve hdr peak brightness but mostly real scene brightness, I max out contrast , gamma to +1 and live color on medium for some color pop, I also used warm color tone with some adjustments so it doesn’t look to much like sepia, as for sound quality, I wouldn’t go to deep into it, it’s a Tv speaker, it’s decent, not too much bass, but it’s neutral which I like, it gets decently loud if you want it to and has adjustments to make speech more clear if you’re looking for that, overall I say this is excellent value for money especially since it’s gotten very cheap compared to launch, feel free to ask anything :).

The bar doesn't offer as many features as the more premium models on the market. You won't find a room correction feature, meaning it can sound a bit different depending on the space you're in. There's no graphic EQ, either, so audiophiles are a bit limited when it comes to tweaking the bar's sound. Its bass and treble adjustments still give you some control, though, which is handy

It's got a figure eight mains input, so that's quite nice. You could actually tuck that behind some Tvs with the mains going to it there. so one right...

At this price point on the back of the surround speakers, you'll find an rca port. That's how it connects to the subwoofer, which gets the surround si...

- LED display is on top of the sound bar, this is a horrible design. When switching between sources (HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc) you can’t see what you’re on. I bought a curved mirror to hover over the display to see while sitting on the couch (for $1,000 🤬). - all the speakers (bar, sub w

Also, there is no SHUFFLE function with the player and if you turn the sound bar off and then back on, it starts at the beginning of the playlist. It's like the player for the USB drive was an afterthought. And very little thought, at that.

However, it's only a four character display, so you may need to wait for some messages to scroll to fully display. The controls are located on top of ...

However I do find the remote a bit complicated with all the options and wish there were a phone app with few options. But overall I'm very pleased with the SB
