VIZIO does not manufacture its televisions independently. Instead, they are produced by electronics Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). These companies design TV models, negotiate pricing, and manufacture the products under the VIZIO brand.

This production model is standard in the industry today. Many well-known brands rely on large Chinese companies to produce their TVs. According to themoney.co, VIZIO TVs are manufactured by OEM companies such as BOE, Foxconn, Innolux, KIE, Tolly, TPV, and Zylux.

VIZIO, a prominent name in the TV industry, typically launches its new television models during the second half of the year. However, deciphering the release date of a specific model can be challenging due to the inconsistent structure of their model numbers. Over time, VIZIO has introduced several variations in how these numbers are formatted. In 2024, the brand once again revised its model number structure, though it retained the familiar year identifier represented by a letter.

Vizio TV model number decoding

Since the TVs are made by OEM companies, VIZIO TV model numbers do not give much information about the technical characteristics of the TVs. The model number is only needed for information on screen size, TV series, and year of development. More detailed specifications can be found in the description of the particular TV. However, you can get some information from the model number of your TV as well. VIZIO TVs are divided into series, e.g. M, P, D series. Depending on the series, the technical characteristics of the TVs differ greatly. But you should know that VIZIO TVs mainly belong to the budget segment.

Model number of Vizio TVs from 2024

In 2024, VIZIO updated its TV model numbering system. The reference to the series has been removed, and now all model numbers begin with the letter V, indicating that the product is a television. This is followed by the screen type, size, and year of production. After a hyphen, a series of digits denote specific design changes.

Vizio V4K50M-0809 Model Number Decoding Example:

  • V: Indicates that the product is a Vizio TV.
  • 4K: Indicates the resolution of the screen, which is 4K (Ultra High Definition).
    • H: HD (High Definition) resolution.
    • A: Full HD resolution.
    • 4K: UHD (Ultra High Definition).
    • QD: Quantum Dots technology.
  • 50: Indicates the size of the TV, which is 50 inches.
  • M: Denotes the release year and model series (M or C series corresponds to the 2024 release).
  • 0809: A set of digits representing specific design and construction changes for that model.

Model number of Vizio TVs 2013 – 2023

In 2013, VIZIO introduced new TV model numbers to mark the beginning of its Smart TV production. In 2018, the model numbers were slightly modified and became longer, though the changes did not include any additional information about the TVs. This structure remained unchanged until 2023. In 2024, the model number system was updated to a clearer format, providing more detailed information about the TVs.

Vizio M55-C2 Model Number Decoding Example:

Vizio TV model numbers, such as M55-C2, provide essential details about the TV’s series, screen size, year of development, and design. Here’s how to decode them:

  • Series Indicator (First Letter)
    • The first letter indicates the TV series (e.g., M, P, V) or specific types like OLED or Quantum.
    • A series may span several years, but models from different years can vary greatly in technology and features.
      • Example: The M Series has been available since 2013, but a 2013 model differs significantly from a 2022 version.
  • Screen Size
    • The number following the series letter specifies the TV’s screen size in inches.
      • Example: In M55-C2, the 55 represents a 55-inch screen.
  • Model Number in Series
    • Additional characters after the screen size identify specific models within the series.
    • These variations don’t follow a consistent pattern and often reflect manufacturing or design differences.
  • Year of Development (Following Letter)
    • The letter after the screen size and model number indicates the year of development, helping distinguish the production year and technology level
LetterYear
N2025
M2024
L2023
K2022
J2021
H2020
G2019
F2018
E2017
D2016
C2015
B2014
A2013
  • Design Variation (Last Number)
    • The final digit represents a design variation, often related to the TV stand or other aesthetic features.
      • Example: In M55-C2, the 2 may indicate a specific design update for that model.

Vizio TV model numbers by year

I understand that tracking down the year for different TV model numbers can be a bit overwhelming. To make it easier, I’ve created a helpful table with Vizio TV model numbers from 2013. Keep in mind that a single TV model may have multiple associated numbers. For example:

Models: V4K43M-0801, V4K43C/M-0804, V4K50M-0807, V4K50C/M-0809, V4K50M-0810, V4K55C/M-0801, V4K55M-0804, V4K65C/M-0804, V4K65M-0810, V4K70M-0801, V4K75C/M-0804, and V4K86C-0804.

While some specific model numbers might not appear in the table, you will find closely related models that should help you identify your TV’s year more easily.

  1. […] Vizio has always had an aggressive pricing strategy aimed at minimizing the cost of its TVs. In 2024, after Vizio was acquired by the Walmart chain, the approach to organizing TV series and models changed. Previously, Vizio had a confusing lineup with series names like P-Series Quantum X, P-Series Quantum, M-Series Quantum, V-Series, and D-Series. In 2024, Vizio simplified its lineup. There are no longer series names like M-Series or V-Series. Instead, TVs are now categorized by resolution and screen type, from HD resolution to Quantum Pro models. You can learn more about Vizio TV model numbers in the article “Vizio TV Model Numbers Decoding and Explanation.” […]

  2. Just in case you are still answering comments— can you please tell me what year this Vizio model is: M470VSE.
    Can I use a Roku? If I sold it, how much do you think?
    If you are able to reply, thank you in advance, and thank you so much for your article!!

  3. I have a D650i-B2 model. The screen turns blue after you turn it on. What part do I need to replace to fix this?

    • Check if the TV menu opens. In some TVs, you can select the blue screen when there is no signal in the settings. If the menu opens, the TV is in good condition.

  4. Hi – I have a model E470VL with serial number LAQKHFAL4301214. Can you please tell me the year it was made? thanks!

  5. I got a P65-E1 with no visible picture but powers on for free. after a little research, I decided to take a chance and disassembled the main circuit board and baked it to reflow the solder and to my amazement, it’s been working for a year now with no further problems. i was curious of what’s the original price and what it’s worth now and if you had any more info on this model? best settings, hidden menus? sideloading apps? ect…

    • Maybe you mean the Vizio M556-H4, that’s the 2020 model. The price of the new TV is $600.

  8. My model number is M550SV. That’s it. Ser# LAQKKABM4501491. I’m thinking it’s a rather early one… 2010-2012 or so, but can you tell the date of manufacture from this info.? Also is it a Smart TV? I think it is… I’d like to start using streaming apps at some point. Thanks

  11. Paramount plus says it works with certain tv’s. Is my M260VA a Quantum?

    And is my V26LHDTV1OT a V series tv?

    • M260VA is a 2010 TV, LED TV not Quantum.

      VA26LHDTV10T TV of 2008, what series it belonged to then I do not know.

      In any case, these are outdated TVs.

  12. I have a Vizio model number SV420M and would like to know the year model and whether the 420 indicates 42 inch.
    THanks!

  13. I have a Vizio I believe to be a very heavy 65in tv
    Model number is: V047LF

    Can you get me more info on this please!

  15. I can’t believe you’ve been applying to people all these years such a blessing . I have a e701-A3 version 2.0.45 I want to get the tv mounted but it is extremely heavy in my opinion but says it is possible .do you know of any mounts that will hold the tv hole pattern 400mm

  16. I’m trying to find info about my Vizio tv…it’s a 32 inch but I’m not sure about the year and value and everything…it’s model number E321VL and SN LAQKHLQNO209383

  17. I have a older model 55 inch the thing is fried.
    If I go by a new 55 inch will the back with the model and serial number bolt up to my old one,
    If it will I can take it back the next day and get my money back.
    They look inside the box but they never plug them in I hope.
    It will start smoking if they do,
    Shoot they might still give me my500.00 back.
    So let me know if the caseings are the same please and thanks

    Thanks,
    Janelle

    • 2008 is not a smart TV. You can connect a Roky by purchasing a Roky device. Resolution TV 1366 x 768 pixels, HD
      you need the old Roku device. It’s probably better to buy a new TV.


  31. MODEL No:E321VT. COULD YOU HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT SORT OF MODEL MY VIZIO IS AND WHAT IT’S WORTH?

  33. model # D32f-E1
    s/n 48LTTUVMMT24143

    My tv model number is D32f-E1
    According to the “Vizio TV model number decode meaning” my tv would be a D series which was manufactured 2016. But the Year of Development would be E – 2017. And the cessation of production of a certain model occurs after 16-18 months. So this is very confusing; can you tell me the EXACT year my tv was PRODUCED?

    Thank you,

  36. I have a D40f-G9 with serial number of LINIXTWK2009255. I lost the remote and was able to find the replacement through the model number, but can not determine the year manufactured, or any other information. Any information would be appreciated.

  37. I have Vizio smart tv, model number M470VSE. What year is this tv and will I be able to stream with sling or will I need a fire stick. I also have a Vizio that is not a smart tv can you tell me what year is this tv model number E320AO.

    • M470VSE – 2012 streaming video is possible, but some services may not be available.
      E320AO – 2013

  38. I have Vizio model # E370VT it was left behind in a house I purchased. I would like to find a stand (it was wall mounted) and remote for it, but I’m not sure if it is too old of a model to find accessories for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  39. The back of the wall-mounted tv says Model No. SV420XVT1A,
    Serial No. LPPCOAK0400792. Turning on it says “No Service” — I don’t want cable. Want to switch to HDMI and Fire Stick, but the menu doesn’t go there, and the remote doesn’t either. I’d like to start with getting the manual, but this model number isn’t recognized on the website.

      • E280i-B1. And I bet you are going to tell me that the serial number is incorrect. But that is the number on my Vizio TV. Or rather it is the number on the top sticker. There apparently is another number underneath. You are kind to help.

  43. I have a E701i-A3E and didnt see anything about the numbers and letters that tell me the year could you please decode for me? Thanks

  44. Vizio M650VSE serial number lwjanaan4604313

    Any way of knowing year? Just bought from someone and curious about it.

  45. Can you help me understand the year of manufacture for my Vizio? Set all of a sudden will not recognize any input signals. Model is XVT553SV and SN is GLSP45AL00280.

    Thanks for any help.

      • Thank you. Is there any way to avoid sending this 55″ to the dump? There is apparently just a problem getting video signal to the screen from any input. If this is not a huge fix, I could fix it and give it to some organization or family that could use it. [I have already had to replace it or my family would have gone bonkers due to COVID…course that may still happen…]

        • shopjimmy.com is also recommended on Vizio website for parts. Great company to deal with and free tech support for parts with an absurdly cool 180 days warranty

  46. Hi – I was wondering if you could tell me if and how I can hook a DVD player up to my Vizio TV. I’m not sure the year of it or given a manual for it. It’s serial is LTCWSKBR3158541 and model E50-C1

  47. Can you tell me the the model year and is this considered a Smart TV
    Serial# LATKKHAM3201399
    Model E472VL

    thank you

    • 2011
      The TV has Smart TV, but considering the TV is about 9 years old. Viewing modern streaming services may not be available.

      • Thank you
        I understand that I can add a roku to one of the HDMI and bring it up as a source. Can I then use the TV remote to navigate in Roku?

        • Yes, the technical specifications state support for HDMI CEC (control of other devices via HDMI). Note that both devices must support HDMI CEC.

  48. Man the dude that tried to answer the question, how to find out date of assembly on my vizio tv is ADHD talk about staying focued he just went on and on about nothing there isn’t anything he said you can apply to a model number. Ok lets see the model # on my vizio is VO32OE all I see is it’s a 32 inch vizio tv so how old is it ah we don’t know thats the question, is it smart no he isn’t at all

    • VO32OE TV model of 2009. By the serial number you will not be able to know the date of production.

  49. The TV only has a sticker with the number a0511-00913 on the back. Nothing else. Any idea what the model # is for this Vizio 55 in TV?

    • it is similar to the main board number. Try to see the model number in the menu.
      Easy Way
      If you have a Vizio TV that was purchased after January of 2011 you can use the remote control to bring up information about the TV right on the TV screen.

      Older TVs
      Press Menu on your remote control.
      Select “Help” on the TV screen and press the OK button.
      Go to “System Info” and press the OK button.
      The System Info page will give you a lot of information about your TV. The first thing listed on this screen is TVSN. This is the serial number of your TV.

      Listed right below the serial number of the TV will be the model number of the TV.

      Newer TVs
      Press Menu on the remote.
      Select “System” then press the OK button.
      Go to “System Information” and press the OK button.

    • The model number of the TV set and the serial number can be found on the information sheet glued to the back of the TV set.

  51. If I have a 2007 Vizio tv can I still mount on wall n not need a cable hook up?
    Does cable box need2 be mounted also?
    Can 2007 TV be mounted n connect by WiFi?

    • WiFi modules have been installed in TV sets since 2010, most likely you have a simple TV without Smart TV. You can say something in more detail if you know the model of TV set.
