"Vizio Settles $3 Million Class Action for Misleading TV Refresh Rates"

VIZIO has settled a class action lawsuit for $3 million over allegations of falsely advertising the refresh rates of its LCD TVs in California. Customers who purchased a VIZIO TV with supposed 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates after April 30, 2014, may be eligible for compensation. The lawsuit claimed that the TVs did not perform as advertised, leading to issues like motion blur. VIZIO denies wrongdoing, but affected consumers must decide whether to claim their share of the settlement by March 30, exclude themselves by February 29 to retain the right to sue individually, or take no action.
