Walmart is buying Vizio so they can pipe ads directly to the viewers. Vizio TVs are cheaper because they directly feed ads to those who bought them.
Pro tip: If you buy a cheap big-ass TV, you are not the customer. You're the product.
If you're thinking about finding a good old 27" CRT TV, the shows nowadays are shot to be seen on big-ass LCD TVs.
You may have to spring for a non-cheap TV. Stay away from Vizio and any TV branded for a retailer. And then go research how to turn off tracking on your particular TV.
And remember this: Walmart's default settings are "evil" and "rapacious".

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

I got a used Vizio for cheap due to its internet capacity was shot (wired and wireless). As time goes by, it becomes a much better bargain than I first thought. How soon do you expect ‘blipverts’ from Max Headroom to be a thing?
ReplyDeleteI have one but it old enough to be dumb as in it cannot source
ReplyDeleteor connect to the internet. Its just old enough that was not
a feature then.
I've since purchased a few screens but they are "monitors"
and again they have no internet or bluetooth connectivity.
Then again I don't like Seri or Alexa for security reasons.

I have never owned a television and have no plans to own one.
