Vizio is the weakest on owner/independent repair support: it provides no official consumer parts store or published service manuals, restricting service information to authorized repair centers, with documentation otherwise only available through leaks. Parts are nonetheless obtainable through third parties (Parts Town, Sears PartsDirect, ShopJimmy) and iFixit hosts community guides, and TVs have no parts pairing - so board-level DIY is physically feasible. The lack of any official documentation or self-repair channel, on top of uneconomical panels, drops it to an F.
