When I was shopping I called Sony, and I asked them why the same model is cheaper at walmart than other places. It didn't make sense that the competition refuses to compete. They explained that they manufacture TV's specifically for some retailers, where they would be lacking features; making them more cost effective. Obviously if you're not a TV head, save your money. But if you want a fully featured TV with all the bells and whistles, don't buy from them.
If you look at the box you'll notice an extension to the model number. Usually dash something... many times not listed on the sticker.
BTW, Vizeo uses samsung panels. They're actually great TV's.
