  • Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view and press OK.
    Normal preserves the content’s original aspect ratio and size.
    Standard Definition (480i and 480p—old TV programs) - Since the 4:3 aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the TV’s screen, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image.
    720p and 720i HD - Fills a 720p or 1080p screen.
    1080p and 1080i HD - Fills a 720p or 1080p screen.
    Stretch expands a widescreen image to fill the screen from top to bottom and stretches it half as much from right to left. Figures appear tall and thin.
    Standard Definition - Not available.
    720p and 720i HD - If you are watching widescreen 1.85:1 content, the image will fill the screen. With 2.35:1 widescreen content, one-sixth of the image is cut off by the left and right sides of the screen.
    1080p and 1080i - Not available.
    Panoramic stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the left and right edges of the screen. The center of the image is not stretched, but the sides of the image are extremely stretched. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content with black bars on the top and bottom, the black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
    Standard Definition (480i and 480p) - Fills the screen from the left to right edges.
    720p and 720i - Not available.
    1080p and 1080i - Not available
    Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted—figures appear short and fat. If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image.
    Zoom expands images evenly in all directions (33% taller and 33% wider) with black bars to fit the screen. A 720p image will fill a 1080p screen.
    Standard Definition - Not available.
    720p and 720i HD - Fills a 1080p screen
    1080p and 1080i - Not available.

There is no power.

  • Ensure the TV is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the power cable is securely attached to the TV.
  • Press the Power/Standby button on the remote or on the side of the TV to turn the TV on.

The power is on, but there is no image on the screen.

  • Ensure all cables are securely attached to the TV.

  • Check the audio connections of external devices (Blu-ray player, game console, cable/satellite box) that are connected to the TV.
  • If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal.

The sound is flat or dialog is not audible.

  • Turn off Volume Leveling. See Adjusting the Audio Settings on page 28.

The colors on the TV don’t look right.

  • Adjust the Color and Tint settings in the Picture menu. See Adjusting the Picture Settings on page 22.
  • Select a pre-set picture mode. See Adjusting the Picture Settings on page 22. VIZIO recommends selecting Calibrated.
  • Check all cables to ensure they are securely attached.

The buttons on the remote aren’t working.

  • Ensure you are only pressing one button at a time.
  • Point the remote directly at the TV when pressing a button.
  • Replace the remote batteries with new ones. See Replacing the Batteries on page 9.

The image quality is not good.

  • For the best image quality, view high-definition programs using digital sources. Connect your devices with HDMI cables.

The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark.

  • Your HD TV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display correctly. These types of occurrences are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

I see “noise” or static on the screen.

  • When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (improved) to match your TV’s display capabilities. This up-converting can sometimes cause irregularities in the image.
  • If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window for the best signal

When I change input source, the display image changes size.

  • The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input source. If the viewing mode on the new input source differs from the one on the input source you switch from, the difference may be noticeable.
  • See Changing the Screen Aspect Ratio on page 27..
