Alert: Your Vizio LCD TV May Be A Fake!

Details are a little sketchy at the moment, but according to "market sources" in Taiwan, if you purchased a Vizio LCD TV in the United States in the last year or so, it very likely may not have been made by Vizio at all. The number 7 ranked LCD TV manufacturer globally, with 2.65 million units shipped, a 3% market share and 338% year-over-year growth, Vizio had a successful 2007. But many of their globally shipped LCD TV's were produced by Taiwan-based Amtram Technology, and as of last March 1, Foxconn supplied 26-inch Vizio LCD TV's to the US. Now, according to those "market sources" we mentioned above, another Taiwanese company, Tatung will be supplying more Vizio LCD TV's to the North American market! With all the partnerships going on over in Asia by HDTV manufacturers, it's really hard to say what type of TV you actually have in your living room these days!
