One thing I also did before I bought the exact model was do a little research -- the TV I bought has 1 HDMI port (out of the 5 available on it) that runs at 60Hz instead of 30Hz like the other 4 ports. I use that port for my laptop. I also read online that that port also skips the "Ultra HD engine" in the TV but I can't find that in the tech specs.

Btw, while I was looking for the tech specs I realized I have a 43" TV not a 44" (https://www.vizio.com/m43c1.html)
