Switched to an LG OLED TV. My brother has had the same one for 3+ years so hopefully it'll last me a while.

I've honestly never had a TV just randomly die on me before, which is why I never buy the extended warranties. But Vizio not selling parts for expensive TVs just doesn't sit well with me, hence the "never again".

If it's any consolation, I highly recommend LG due to my experience. Bought a 65 inch unit 3 years ago, threw away the box, and have since moved long distance 3 times without it. 3 times on a semi wrapped in a blanket, and the thing still works like day 1. I'm a fan.

I still remember when I bought it, I was choosing between it and a TCL. When I asked what the difference was, the guy banged on the back really hard of each. The TCL showed big white splotches when hit, the LG had no effect. He called it 'shielding', but I'm not versed enough to know if that's a thing.
