I swear every time I have been to a Walmart in the last 5 years there's been a returned Vizio at the returns area, saw them returned all the time when I worked at Amazon for a bit too.
It's not because they're bad TVs...it's more likely due to the rent a center returns policy. It's kind of popular to go get a big ass TV for the weekend sportsball thing then take it back.
Vizio also probably has the best budget soundbars.
It's too bad that now that they're a Walmart subsidiary I'm fully expecting a quality dropoff, I'm not sure if that will be true, just that seems to be how it goes after mergers and acquisitions.
Hmm that's an interesting theory, maybe so, I just assumed they had issues because it's ALWAYS a Vizio.
