I am about to by a new TV. Probably a 70" 4K but what specs do I look for. There are so many to choose from now. I have looked at vizo and Samsungs. Would like suggestions please.

That's a great point. My brother was looking at a TV (a LG) about 6 months ago and it had ZERO audio outputs.Also be sure to look at external output connections/inputs that you might need. Lots of Bluetooth but maybe that's not what you'll be using. Some TVs these days have almost no connections, even an earphone jack.

Pay attention to HDR and what kind it has. There are two? kinds. Some TVs have both. Anyway, if you plan on using a 4K Blu Ray player, I think you'll need HDR in order to see the benefits of the 4K on the TV. Otherwise, the player will downsize the resolution. At least that's what happened to me. I bought one of the very first Sony 4K TVs for my bedroom, and it was just fine as a TV. Then one day I had the idea to buy a cheap 4K Blu Ray player. It even came with a 4K disk. So I hooked it all up and put in the disc. Then I got the message that the TV couldn't play HDR and the resolution was being played downscaled. The TV didn't have HDR and couldn't be updated via a firmware update. Maybe all the new TVs now have HDR, but it I'd pay attention to that issue.
Nope, not even optical out. I don't understand why.No optical out?
I bought a 65" Visio 4K a few months ago and it has a much better picture than the Samsung in the bedroom. And it has a better picture than the LGMy Vizio's have been extremely reliable. In my bedroom I have one of their first LCD's and it's been going strong for 16 years. It's outlasted a Panasonic plasma that died one year out of warranty and a Hitachi.
I have a 4K Vizio 65" M in my den and love it.
