I love this TV and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I previously had a 42" LG LED in my living room that basically died, so I was excited to upgrade. I researched quite a bit and narrowed my choices down to Vizio and Samsung (I've had a 40" Samsung LCD from 2009 that is still going strong and outlasted my LG). I initially purchased the 2016 Vizio P series based on the reviews, features, and price point. You absolutely can't beat it. That said, they changed their 2016 models to come with a tablet remote, which sounds great on paper but for me was more of a nuisance. Instead of navigating the smart menus on your actual big screen, you're forced to swipe through on a 7" tablet or your phone as a paired remote. That was enough headache for me to exchange. However, I would still encourage people to try the Vizio to see if it works for them. The unfortunate part is you won't be able to test this remote in the store because the floor models never have the remotes on display, so you'll have to do some research and try it out at home after your purchase the TV.
Since Samsung was higher priced, I did some research and wanted to find a great 2015 model that provided a balanced feature set at a discounted price now that the 2016 models are out. I purchased this TV in May of 2016. At the time, Best Buy had this TV priced around $1100-$1200 (about the same price as the Vizio P series). However, Amazon had it listed for $875 (it is now priced at $1369 on Amazon at the time of this writing and no longer available through Best Buy). Best Buy's service team was excellent and they price matched for me, so I felt really great about the price I paid and the ability to see the TV in person.

As expected, Samsung offers a great balance between picture quality and features. The smart TV menu is easy to navigate (I initially purchased the new E series from Vizio and found the navigation via the phone app to be frustrating, which is why I exchanged for the Samsung). I have noticed that this TV takes about 30 seconds to "warm up" when I try to launch anything from the Smart Hub. It could be wireless internet related, but I don't have this issue with my larger Samsung in my living room. I don't get a warm up message when turning it on to watch DirectTV though. This would be 5 stars if I didn't have to deal with this issue. This is clearly not Samsung's nicest model, but for the price and features, this is a great entry-level Smart TV for someone looking to upgrade.
