According to the plaintiffs, Vizio's advertising is "false and misleading." Some of their TVs are advertised with a "120Hz Effective Refresh Rate" or "240Hz Effective Refresh Rate," this refers to the use of motion clarity technology to achieve the result. In reality, the native refresh rate of most of these TVs is only 60Hz.

TV manufacturers use marketing terms like "effective refresh rate" to refer to motion smoothing features that reduce motion blur Apart from paying out for verified claims, Vizio has also agreed to stop the advertising practices and provide enhanced services and a limited one year warranty to all Settlement Class Members.

The claims will cover any TV purchased between April 30th, 2014, and the date of the agreement's final approval, which is set for a hearing on June 20th, 2024.
