> I know Vizio is considered more of a low-end brand, but I have a ... probably 2010s era Vizio that's one of the best TVs I've had. I bought a Vizio back in 2006 that is still running today. It's now at my parents' house but runs as well as when I bought it. Unfortunately I also have a modern Vizio I bought for the guest bedroom. That thing is a piece of shit. It's just ridiculously slow, sometimes won't display the picture from an input signal, and software updates break stuff all the time. Before I bought it I hadn't ever bought a cheap "smart" TV but it's been worse than I imagined they would be.

Going off reviews, it looks like Vizio has taken a nosedive in quality over the last 5 - 10 years. When I bought a TV ~10 years ago, rtings had various Vizios as their top-rated TVs at different price points. I remember my choice at the time being less "which of these TVs should I buy" and more "which of these two Vizios should I buy". But looking now, I can't find a single model that's rated highest at any size or price point. It's a pretty stark difference.
