We have one. It's about 6 years old now. It's quirky. Some of the inputs don't work (I think the HDMI), so we moved it upstairs and don't use it as our main TV anymore.
We have one, I think it's 6 years old. It's OK, the inputs are all fine but it has a dead pixel in the middle (you only notice when you're right up on it). It has survived multiple power surges and power outages fine.
FWIW, my dad and brother both bought Vizio TVs and like them much better than their prior Samsung (and some other brand) TVs.
The only W tv I've experienced was utter crap and it wasn't old at all. I've avoided them since then. There are a ton of branches to W and they put their symbol on a bunch of things made by sub-companies that aren't good about quality control.
A friend of mine bought a brand new Westinghouse flat screen (46" maybe?) last Thanksgiving - it died in May. Customer service was of NO help. She said she would never buy another one.

We had one about 3 years ago. Only a few months after the warranty expired, the screen started dying, the upper left corner got dim and it spread quickly until the TV was unusable. I doubt I would ever get one again.
Its really hit or miss, my parents have one we bought them really cheap last year, fine for them. For quality and the extra ports we need Vizio all the way. We have had 3 in the last 6 years and one of them is around 6 years old..
