Vizio, the consumer electronics brand that was once considered a start-up, can now safely be said to be an “upstart,” constantly challenging both the legacy brands LG, Samsung, and Sony, as well as other former “tier two” companies, like TCL and Hisense that have graduated to the top of the sales and feature ranks to rank among the industry’s top selling TV lines. Along the way, Vizio also has become a significant player in the sound bar market, with models from basic to advanced, object-based systems.
