Fuck Vizio
Just little bit over year ago I purchased 50'' VIZIO smart TV week ago it started powering down picture getting all weird.
I decided to call customer service representative told me to do hard power down and hold power button well after that TV never power up again. I will never buy Fucking VIZIO again and I will tell everyone I know not to buy this shit. They say plasma TVs are junk I say fuck that I had LG plasma TV for 10 years never had any issues then decide to buy new TV well this is what I got Shit. All this new shit electronics are junk.

That's what you get when you gamble on some of these brands. While Vizio has had some decent reviews and they do have a following, pray you don't have to get that thing repaired. Because the last I researched this topic, you're out of luck if you want to repair your Vizio outside of the warranty period.

I'd add f&ck Samsung too. I have a Samsung plasma tv that is less than 5 years old and it just repeatedly powers on and off. Luckily after a lot of online research, I was able to find out that the main circuit board went bad and was able to get it repaired.
My last Panasonic tv was over 30 years old, eff Samsung and their cheap ass electronics, they deserve all the shit they're getting now. |

Simplicity is the name of the game for me when it comes to electronics. Visited some family's house this week and their Smart TV + surround sound + cable setup takes 4 damn remotes to operate. Screw that!

Sony is best. You pay more, but there's a reason for it. Check dedicated video review sites and you'll see why Sony is better than Samsung and others.

My two Vizio TVs have been fine, but I hear you. I have a Samsung Tab 3 8" tablet that was working fine until the battery powered all the way down. Now it won't charge. Googling the problem points to a known problem with Samsung tablets not being recoverable if the battery goes to zero. Between that and the exploding phones, I'll never touch a Samsung product again.

It's all luck of the draw in the end. My 10 yr old Panasonic plasma takes abuse in the kids playroom and have a Samsung LED smart tv that gets the most use in the family room and is 2 yrs old and so far so good. I got it for free using CC points at Best Buy and bought the extended warranty Costco. I use a Harmony remote that is programmed to control everything.

FWIW you should stick the circuit board in the oven. My 60" LG plasma started having issues where it wouldn't turn on and I read to take the main board out and put it in the oven for something like 10 mins at 180 degrees? Can't remember exactly. I thought it was the dumbest shit I'd ever read but many people said it worked so I thought why the hell not. Put the board back in and haven't had an issue since.
