We in Texas are now on Frontier FiOS which was previously Verizon FiOS. The upscaling on the HD FiOS channels depends on the channel and source material; some of the HD programs that apparently are only lightly compressed and delivered at higher bit rates scale well while other HD programs seem to be more highly compressed and delivered at lower bit rates and don't scale as well. Bear in mind that some older content, e.g. movies from 15+ years ago, are likely already upscaled by Verizon/Frontier from lower resolution sources. Upscaling an already upscaled signal is going to result in poorer results and depend heavily on the TV's CPU and processing algorithms to mitigate the noise and artifacts. The 2016 Vizio has limited in-device processing and therefore doesn't upscale lower resolution content as well as Sony, Samsung or LG 4K devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did not use verizon fios. Upscaler is not impressive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have FIOS, but I can tell you that it does a very good job at upscaling 1080i and 1080p content. If you watch a lot of SD material, you should know that most reviews have said that the picture is a little soft when upscaling Standard Def. Upscaling 720p is acceptable but not as great. I recently watched the Blu-Ray of The Life of Pi, and it was totally brilliant. The quality of the source material has a lot to do with the results. Some Blu-Rays of older movies have just been transferred to those type discs, without any reprocessing of the picture. If you watch a lot of DVDs or old VHS compared to HD material, this may not be the set for you.
