Understand, these are $200 tvs. You cannot realistically expect too many punches on your dance card ![]()
That said, if you have a standard one year warranty on each model you are looking at, go with the Samsung. Buying with certain credit cards can get you an additional year, btw.
I'm planning on buying an affordable 32" 1080p TV for my room and I've narrowed it down to two TVs (links are below). But I'm having trouble deciding which one to buy, which is why I'm asking for more opinions.
First, let's start with what I'm using it for...
-Gaming on my Nintendo Switch and Smash 4 on my Wii U.
-Occasionally hooking up to my laptop to watch movies from my bed and possibly as a second display when I want it.
-Streaming Netflix, Youtube, and TV from the online Xfinity app.
Here are some pros and cons from my perspective of each TV
Samsung 5 Series UN32M5300 32' 1080p HD LED Internet TV
PROS
-Found this TV brand new for only $170.
-I really like Samsung as a brand and prefer the overall design of this TV compared to the Vizio TV. (I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge if that's relevant)
-Might be able to mirror the screen of my laptop or phone, not sure though.
-Has some smart tv functionality including Netflix and Youtube, but not sure how good the interface is.
CONS
-Mixed Reviews on sound quality.
-Have to buy it before this Sunday.
-Can't return it.
-The power button is in an odd place on the bottom and is the only button on the actual TV.
-Toms Guide said that the screen was choppy at times because of the low refresh rate, which isn't desirable for watching movies, youtube, and playing games.
-Went to BestBuy to try to compare the two TVs, they didn't have this exact one, but they did have a 32" N5300 series TV which didn't look as nice as the Vizio TV to me, but they also weren't displaying the same thing, so I'm still unsure.
VIZIO - 32' Class - LED - D-Series - 1080p - Smart - HDTV
PROS
-Has built-in ChromeCast functionality, which I'm very familiar with and enjoy.
-Has power, input, and volume buttons on the left side of the TV, so I don't always need the remote.
-I've had good experiences with Vizio TVs and they've lasted a long time with seemingly no decrease in performance, but none of them were as nice as this one, so who knows.
-The in-store display at BestBuy looked really good and high quality but wasn't displaying the same thing as the rest of the TVs, so still unsure.
-Can get a geek squad protection plan in case something fails, but costs an extra $25 for 2 years.
-Have 15 days to return it if I don't like it.
CONS
-Costs $200, which is $30 more than the Samsung TV and costs $225 if I get a 2-year protection plan.
-I don't like the design as much as the Samsung TV, especially the molded plastic feet, but I'm thinking about getting a VESA arm for whichever TV I buy, so might not matter as much.
-Very mixed reviews on sound quality.
-Most lists that mentioned these two TVs put the Samsung TV above the other one.
-Conflicting reviews on how suitable this is for use as a pc monitor.
-A few recent reviews said that they had quality problems with this TV, but is still highly regarded as a great option.
Toms Guide didn't review this exact TV, but they did review a 24" version of the same series.

I would greatly appreciate any opinions on these two TVs that will help me come to a decision.
