Refresh Rates of VIZIO LCD Televisions
Allegations: Falsely marketing that televisions have higher refresh rates than they actually do
Vizio Televisions
In October 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Vizio for allegedly marketing its televisions as “energy efficient” and “Energy Star” certified when, in reality, software automatically disables energy-saving features whenever picture settings are changed, which is not adequately disclosed to consumers, causing them to incur additional charges on their electricity bills. (Unice et al v. Vizio, Inc., Case No. 16-cv-1568, W. D. PA.)
