It’s finally official. After nearly a whole year of delays and federal inquiries, Walmart’s $2.3B buyout of Vizio is inked and completed. It’s a surprising turn of events, showing Walmart’s perception of the TV market and how it will leverage that market to ignite its ever-growing ads business.
And while ads are definitely an important facet to Walmart’s purchase of Vizio, it’s not the whole story. There’s a lot of different ways Vizio can help Walmart, main among them being the design of some of the best cheap TVs yet. Of course, we'll have to wait a bit before we see the full weight of its purchase of Vizio come to fruition.
