Debating between the Hisense H9f and the Vizio M658-G1. The Vizio is $200 less (699 at Costco with extra warranty v. 899 for Hisense at BB). Used in bright room (faces west) for regular tv watching and sports. Is the Hisense, that I understand is much brighter, worth the extra $200? Other consideration is the Vizio M706 which is bigger (70 in) but the M6 version with less specs and is also $699 at Costco.

I am replacing an almost 5 year old Samsung UN65H6300 that just crapped out – flashing lights throughout the screen regardless of source - sometimes blacking out almost the entire screen.

Thoughts on the Hisense v. the Vizio? Concerned with some reports of quality control in the Hisense. I have another Vizio now that I love (P75-f1) in my basement.
