I had the same dilemma. I decided on the Vizio. When faced with these kinds of dilemmas, my experience tells me that I'm almost always satisfied with the least expensive option, especially if the warranty is good (I got the Costco warranty).

I have an older LG 47LH40 ... looking to upgrade but can't decide what.
Primary usage: Xbox Gaming, Sports TV, and Movies.
Ideal size is 50", cost is a concern, but would like something to have quality that can last 5-10 years depending on technology advancements.
Vizio M55-E01 for $797 at costco (free delivery from online i think at that price) vs the sony 49" X900 for $1197?

I have both the Vizio M65-E0 (4 mths, setup in dark basement) and a 55" Sony X900E (3 days, setup in bright living room). Before I bought and saw the Sony, I was perfectly happy with the Vizio. Watching 4k netflix content on either screen is amazing and you will be happy with both. However, when I viewed 720p and 1080p content on the Sony, I was blown away by the difference in detail and contrast (both TVs have been calibrated for the viewing conditions) compared to the vizio. The upscaling on the Sony is in another league. The vizio relies on casting which is less convenient than integrated android tv on the sony. But even if you purchased a Shield TV and tuner for the vizio, it'd still be cheaper than the Sony by at least $250. Sony's implementation of android TV is not as snappy or powerful as shield tv, but it is more than adequate as a daily driver for consuming youtube, netflix and plex content.
Had I known that the sony was so much better in upscaling and that the prices would drop, I may have just bought the sony right from the start, though the price of the 65" is more than what my wife would let me spend on a TV! You will be happy with either purchase. In my opinion, the price difference is worth it. When it comes to things I use alot, I tend to buy the better product but that comes down to personal preference as some people just go for the cheapest.

This helps, thanks. This is not for my main tv, so I'm thinking that the Vizio will be good enough for casual viewing at this point (mostly Netflix)...

Lots of discussion about the vizio M series vs Sony x900e, but from what I can see the Vizio P series is the closer comparison (both in quality and in price, not sure about value for money).
Does anyone know how the P series compares with the Sony for the ~130 price difference?
Thanks!
