I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?
I have some smaller, older Vizio TV’s that were great, no issues. I recently bought 3 large, expensive Vizio TV’s and had problems with all 3. All issues dealing with updates. Had 70" get stuck in an update cycle, no fix, even customer service couldn’t help. Other 2 repeatedly will not turn on after an update. Problem persists occasionally, but usually resolves in 5-10 minutes.
Done with Vizio. Sony if I want to spend a lot, Samsung if I want to spend a little less.
That’s literally why they said they don’t connect them to the Internet. Just get a separate streaming service and forget about updates or internal software.
I wish that’s advice I had at the time. Live and learn.
If you’re out of options, it ain’t hard to hunt up a replacement motherboard for $100 or less. I got a 55" TV for $80 like that.
I just threw it away, I was done with it. I definitely should have tried to repair it, but my frustration with all things Vizio made that an unappealing option at the time. The others I just moved to less used areas.
