Better TV to buy, Vizio, Sony, or LG?

I am looking for a 70" TV. That is the biggest TV that will fit in my entertainment center (width is 65-3/4"). The 75" Tvs are just slightly too big (Sony is 66"). Of course no one seems to make a 70" any more. They almost all jump from 65 to 75.
So I am considering buying a used 2014 model 70" Sony.

or a new Vizio.

BestBuy guys were not too high on the Vizeo. They said they do not last.
What does the Tech board think?

I have a 60 inch Vizio that has worked great, and I have had it about 3 years now.

Sony > Vizio but I'm not a fan of the 2014 model

My family has purchased 11 Vizios, 8 over three yrs old. 1 under one yr old. 1 over six years old. 1 over ten years old.
ZERO problems. All still used daily.

I love my 55" LG I got in 2013. It is not a smart TV, but I keep appleTV or Chromecast hooked up to it
The picture is amazing and one of my friends actually complimented it when he dropped by Saturday.

I have the Vizio you linked (M70-C3) and love it, no complaints
ETA: bang for your buck there's not a comparison. If budget doesn't matter as much go Sony or Sammy

I've had two LGs just stop turning on. One was fixed in warranty, then stopped again more than 1 year from purchase, but less than 1 year from authorized repair. They refused to do anything. Never again. Buy Panasonic.

I've got a 65 inch Sony that has a fantastic picture. CNET had it as the best non-plasma picture on any tv the year it was released. I'd go Sony over the other two (especially Vizio) all day.

TVs are disposable. I really don't pay much attention to longevity these days.
If it is your primary TV I get that you want to make a good choice, but I certainly wouldn't buy a 2 year old used one over a new Vizio.

Sony always. They will fight over it when you are dead.

I got a new Vizio last year and there are a couple of dark areas around the edge. Not too happy about it.

I have a Vizio M series and I love it. The new ones look much better than mine. I have gotten many praises on mine especially since the bezel was so small.
It has smart features but they are usually worthless on the TV's. Get an Amazon FireTV and load Kodi on it and enjoy.
Side note: I have a 65" and I want bigger
I can never go back down.

Just wanted to chime in on the Vizio argument. I have a 65" P-series Vizio TV and that thing is a damn good picture for what I paid for it. Deep blacks and great contrast and I've had absolutely zero issues with it.

When's the next time you plan on upgrading the TV?
It's going to be a while before the 4K will do you any good, and Dell is having a solid deal on the 1080 Vizio 70":

If you're getting a TV for the next 10 years, 4K may be the better choice. Personally, I would go 1080, then go 4K OLED in ~5 years when the price is reasonable and 4K content is more prevalent.

I just hung a new LG earlier this week. haven't had a chance to test it out much but so far the picture is nice.

I have the 70 vizio and have no issues with it. I found it to be a great value when compared to similarly equipped and sized tvs.
Cnet is a good resource for comparisons fyi.

My first big screen TV was a Vizio I bought in 2006. It still works great. I've bought multiple Vizio's since for different rooms and I've loved them all.
