"Vizio Settles for $3 Million Over Misleading TV Marketing Claims"

Vizio has agreed to a $3 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging misleading marketing of its TV refresh rates in California. The lawsuit claimed that Vizio falsely advertised TVs with "120Hz Effective Refresh Rate" or "240Hz Effective Refresh Rate," when the actual native refresh rate was 60Hz. Although Vizio denies wrongdoing, affected customers who purchased certain TVs since April 30, 2014, can claim up to $50. Claims must be submitted by March 30, 2024, and Vizio has committed to ceasing such marketing practices and offering enhanced services and a one-year warranty to settlement class members.
