It's an M series Vizio. I just plugged it in for the first time, and this is what I'm seeing on my screen I have nothing else plugged into it.

Your screen is physically broken, try to exchange it where you purchased it.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Back to the big box store!

Thanks again for the advice. I took it back and exchanged it for another one. They said they see that from time to time, but it's pretty rare.

Yeah, damage in shipping usually. Warehouse workers are not the most gentle of people. I bought a tv stand one time that had shoe prints on the box.

Thanks. They must not treat these well when they're in transit. This was straight out of the box.

They don't. They basically get thrown around.

Magnolia pro here. You wouldn't believe how these tvs are handled when coming off the truck.

was it delivered in the box that you'd get off the shelf? if so then that happened to me. curious what store you purchased from.

Yes, it was in the regular retail box.

I bought it at Future Shop (Canada), which is owned by Best Buy. It's basically a best Buy.

This is sad. I bought a 60" and a 70" VIZIO from Amazon for our office... both arrived like this. :(
