    Vizio is pretty good up to 50 inches or so, but on anything over 60 inches they are not good for sports, especially hockey. They don't track the the balls or pucks very well. Blurry.

    I bought the Samsung 65 inch 4K curved screen last year from Costco and I am very happy with it. The curve allows for a good viewing screen for people sitting to the left or right. Essential if you have a bunch of people over.
    Edit: obviously a cell phone pic of a tv screen is not very representative of actual picture.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Avoid Samsung LCDs. They use cheap Chinese parts, which fail after a few years. I haven't had experience with their LED TV's, but I can't say I've been interested in them because of the high failure rates of their LCD TV's.
    LG is a quality brand that generally lasts a long time. Vizio is a close second. Westinghouse is probably 3rd, but the picture quality suffers a bit since they are cheap.

    Westinghouse is garbage. I bought a Westinghouse super cheap on a Black Friday deal last year and it was horrible in every way shape and form. Returned it the next week and bought my Samsung. With the current pace of technology, I don't care if the Samsung only lasts 5 years. Five years from now I will want a new tv whether it is broken or not.
