Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz "effective refresh rate" [arstechnica.com]

Quote :
Under the settlement terms [PDF [arstechnica.net]] spotted by The Verge [theverge.com], people who bought a Vizio TV in California after April 30, 2014, can file a claim. They'll receive $17 or up to $50 if the fund allows it. The individual payout may also be under $17 if the claims exceed the $3 million fund. Vizio will also pay attorney fees. People have until March 30 to submit their claims. The final approval hearing is scheduled for June 20.

Vizio also agreed to stop advertising their TVs with 120 and 240 Hz "effective" refresh rates but "will not be obligated to recall or modify labeling for any Vizio-branded television model that has already been sold or distributed to a third party," according to the agreement. Further, the California-headquartered company will also offer affected customers a "service and limited warranty package conservatively valued at $25" per person.
Maybe we won't have to see a fake "effective refresh rate" in TV deal threads for much longer now that every TV maker is being sued over it.
