The reason why 70" is so high (and 80 even higher) is because there is so much more screen.
A 70 has 36% more viewing area than a 60 and 62% more than a 55.
An 80 is more than double a 55 and 76% more size than a 60… it’s even got 30% more size than a 70!
I have a 70 in the main part of my house. Mine is a Sharp LED. It’s awesome. I wouldn’t have anything against the Vizio either. Go for it. Also… I have yet to have a problem with a Woot TV and I have bought a couple.

umm no. the bigger tvs are higher because of supply and demand, not screen size.
if screen size was the only deciding factor the 70 inch tvs would only be about 10% more than the 65 inch models.

I have one at home and it works great. I live in town but bought one for my grandparent who live 45 miles away from a tower. I was impressed by the performance and amount of channels it pulled in from that distance. I’d go visit their site for more information. http://www.getfreetv.com
Hope that helps!

Do these TV’s actually work? Or are they like the 55" I bought from Woot 2 weeks ago?

No idea- I bought a 60" sharp from one of these fire sales a month ago- when I finally got it and opened it up- entire right third of the screen was shattered. Woot issued a return and the same shipping company came back around to pick it up. Didn’t cost me anything other than some effort and disappointment though.
Seems like a huge risk to buy a refurb TV here. Only a 90 day warranty, plus the buyer is responsible for shipping costs on a return. Decent deal if the thing works I suppose, but definitely not worth it for me.
I got this TV in May when it was up and honestly–I don’t regret a thing. It’s huge. It’s beautiful. And it’s CHEAP! I have bought tons of expensive refurbs from Woot (Galaxy Tab, printer/scanner, 70" Vizio TV, et. al.) and I have had nothing but the best luck. Everything has worked like brand new and we’ve gotten some wicked deals. I guess it’s luck of the draw but I continue to play the game–and I continue to win.
Maybe I got lucky but picked up the Vizio 65" 3D telly on a Woot round about a month ago and thus far it’s a workin’ great! Really good pic on it and impressed with the 3D. Only thing I have noticed wrong with it is some dings on the back (which appear to colored black again with a sharpie…funny) and a slight blemish of the plastic trim at the bottom. The prior I will more then likely never see again unless my wall mount fails and the later is hardly noticeable unless up close to the TV. Everything else seems to work and is a much improvement over the HD projector I had been using that I picked up from Woot many moons ago. Really happy with it and from what I have found, I feel it was a great deal even if it is last years model. Hope it last like the projector did (knock on simulated wood grain particleboard…)

Supply and demand is always a factor, however, the numbers aren’t far off from the percentages I posted. It’s harder/more expensive to build a much larger tv so the numbers still line up. supply and demand, as you point out, makes up the rest of the difference. There was only one game in town for a while at this size. (Sharp) and there are still only 4 manufacturers building them.
Ordered a 55" LED Hisense from Wot, I’m crossing my fingers that it will be in good condition when i get it. I NEVER had an issue buying refurbished from anywhere…until i bought a 39" Sanyo last week refurbished from woot, and the speakers were blown out! But I used an external speaker setup and everything else is fine
SO ordered the TV on the 22nd…and SEKO is STILL not here after keeping my TV for more than a day that they needed to. It’s almost 14 days after purchase…I must complain that is the WORST shipping I have ever had…c’mon woot you need to do better

Ugh. I know the holiday didn’t help things but it’s worth an email to support@woot.com to see if they can figure out what’s going on.
UPDATE: Looks like they left you a message this morning to schedule delivery. Here’s their numbers if you want to call them.

Bought a 55" 2 months ago, great for a couple hours then yellow highlighter started appearing heavy on the screen. Soon the pic was black and white. E-mailed Woot, they had it picked up a couple days later and money back in my account a few days after that. No hassles at all, easiest return I’ve ever had and no standing in line. Stuff happens and now waiting on another to arrive, hope its a good one.
