I had heard of Vizio before but never held them in the same league as the Samsungs or LGs of the TV industry. I appreciate how they seem to be fighting against the flow to do things differently. Instead of cramming extra software and stickers onto their product Vizio chose to sterilize, and instead of supporting legacy connectors and optical disk drives Vizio chose to modernize.

It's almost as if they're adapting Apple minimalist aesthetics for Windows machines. Which is mind-boggling that no other PC manufacturer has tried the same in the last few years.

Their quasi-mantra of "focus" is also very reminiscent of Apple's way of thinking. I have 100% more respect for them than I did this morning, that's for sure.

I own a couple of Samsung products and a couple of Vizio products. Vizio isn't in the same league as Samsung. They are typically bringing year old tech to consumers that are more budget constrained. If you know what you are getting they are certainly not bad though. I don't care for their choice of software (yahoo tv widgets) on the smart tvs as it's clunky and crashes. I also think they need to rethink their remote controls. The buttons require a lot of force and make an annoying clicking sound when pressed. I'm skeptical they will get the keyboard and trackpad on their laptops right given their software and remote issues on the tvs.
