Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” | Vizio claimed backlight scanning made refresh rates seem twice as high.::Vizio claimed backlight scanning made refresh rates seem twice as high.
Hell, I bought a 4k 60 hz TV from them and inputs are limited to 30 hz. I’ll never buy a Vizio anything again, sounds like this is their business as usual.
Why would you ever? They don’t make quality products.
I’m sticking to LG for TVs
Bought a Vizio cause it was cheap. Ended up seeing vertical lines just outside of the warranty window.
You get what you pay for. Now I have a Sony, and no looking back
They have some snuck in there, I am still rocking a M55 from 2017 and with a lot of calibrating I don’t see too much difference in 4K HDR to new under 1k TCLs and cheaper samsungs. Though next year I want an LG OLED.
Who gets the 3m? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it isn’t the people who were deceived/lied to.
3M also seems like a pittance? From a quick look their revenue is like $1.7B. Granted their margins are small but still
I feel like if they doubled the specs of their device to make sales they should have to pay back HALF of what they made from the sales. Not just the profit margin, a plain 50% of gross.
It says in the article
You and I both know I can’t read!
Reminds me of UserBenchmark and their “Effective frames per second” nonsense.
Why only California? I was deceived by this too.
was this not the same with all the tvs
always had to buy 120hz to get 60hz from most any brand except for element and a few other cheap ones
