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.

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

I'd say picture quality isn't all that great, the price is, but I'd rather save up for a better set.]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/vizio-becomes-wal-marts-electronics-supplier-of-the-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/vizio-becomes-wal-marts-electronics-supplier-of-the-year/http://www.sribalajimachinetools.com/]]>Jun 5th 2008 1:04AM
