    Man, I like Vizio’s, I don’t want them to become Great Value TVs…

      Vizio is kindof like Costco’s Kirkland brand. They don’t actually manufacture anything, they just select high-margin products that they can have contract manufactured cheaply, have some reasonable QC standards applied, and slap their name on the product.

      So they’re already kindof like Great Value TVs, though clearly held to a higher standard than most Great Value trash usually is.

        They do actually make their own software for their TVs, many brands are just using google tv/fire tv/roku. Iirc Vizio sells their TVs at a loss and makes it up with data.
