Vizio becomes Wal-Mart's Electronics Supplier of the Year

Merely three quarters after Vizio sets began showing up on Wal-Mart floors, the perennial low-cost HDTV leader has taken home Wally World's Electronics Supplier of the Year award. The self-proclaimed "fastest growing brand of flat panel HDTVs in North America" has a half dozen models on Wal-Mart shelves right now, and aside from continually delivering as promised, it probably didn't hurt to have its products "among the top selling flat-panels" at the retailer. Kudos Vizio -- just keep watchin' your back, okay?

I constantly walk around Walmart & Sams Club to look at the HDTVs available. I think the Vizio is the best of the budget brands. It has a solid picture, nice black level, and has little to no blurring. I think it's a brand with rising image and quality attributes and will continue to win similar awards.

About a month ago I bought A 42inch vizio from a local walmart supercenter best 900 we ever spent. It is not a bad brand as others here have sugested. And it is an american brand.

Vizio...American? Not likely. They have a small presence in California and are technically an "American" company, but it's all Asian supplied sets with their name on it...

"It is not a bad brand as others here have sugested. And it is an american brand."

Nope, it's a front for a Chinese OEM, just like Westinghouse (before the Toshiba takeover), Polaroid (TV division), Apex, Cyberhome and all the other weird offbrands. So far Apex and Cyberhome have been taken down due to non-payment of royalties among other reasons. I hope for your sake, your set doesn't break after a few years (it will, none of that junk is designed to last much past the warranty period), and Vizio doesn't have any actual repair shops, and refuses to support sets out of warranty.

I guess Pioneer's are the in the boat now (at least the Plasmas) as they don't make their own panels anymore and in effect just a front for another OEM.

If I remember correctly they do outsource but are based in California, thus an American company.

Mind has been working fine (42" Plasma) for a year with no problems and have the extra year warranty through my Costco purchase.

I keep trying to figure out this whole Vizio as an "American Brand" came from. Possibly their address on the box, but that's an office of about 40 people.

I'd say picture quality isn't all that great, the price is, but I'd rather save up for a better set.
