Limited Product Warranty

VIZIO provides a “ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY” against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship to the original purchaser of a new VIZIO display purchased from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico.

VIZIO's Responsibility

VIZIO displays purchased new from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and that are used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of the original retail purchase. If the display fails to conform to this limited warranty, VIZIO will, at its option and sole discretion, repair or replace the display.

Repairs may be made with new or recertified parts, or the entire unit may be replaced with a new or recertified unit, at VIZIO's option and sole discretion.
