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.

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
