Vizio is a recent arrival on the market - they generally make low-cost, low-performing LCD displays. I use the word "make" loosely, since they just use contract manufacturers, and don't actually own any of their own production facilities, and often buy overrun parts from other manufacturers to implement in their TVs. That's how they get exceptionally low prices.
