VIZIO 55" Class V-Series LED 4K UHD SmartCast TV V555-H11 - Best Buy $371.00

My Vizio P65-E1 just went out the other day after having it slightly less than 3 years. It required a repair 1 year after purchasing it. Now it won't even turn on.

My Vizio E50-C1 required a repair 6 months after purchasing, it's not a daily used TV so it still works about 4-5 years now.

Regardless, out of the 2 TV's I've owned, I'm not a huge fan of Vizio any more. Thankfully my P65-E1 is still under Costco SquareTrade warranty for another 2 years. However, now SquareTrade is having trouble sourcing parts which may be due to supply constraints and chip shortages? Not very happy to say the least.

That's pretty crazy bad luck. I've got a Vizio that I've had 4 years with no issues.

Yeah tell me about it. The silver lining, Square Trade just emailed me and is giving me a brand new Samsung TU8000 65in and will be delivered by Best Buy on Monday.

That is awesome. Glad that worked out for you.

My 6 year old Vizio E550i-B2 display died about a week after the warranty. Vizio was no help. Offered to sell me a new one at a lame discount. Replaced the part myself. Lasted about 2 years. Part is going again. Time for a new TV. Done with Vizio.

where does this model (V series) line up on the vizio spectrum of TVs? I know the models go: D, E, M, P etc.
