Did Vizio break free from Sony and I missed it? I always thought Vizio was Sonys TV line?
- Bravia was Sony's TV line in recent years.
  
  Oh whoops. Thx.
- Maybe you're thinking of WEGA? Modelname used in the CRT-days.
  
  Or they're thinking of VIAO
  
  Maybe VAIO?
  
  I don't know if i want to blame the branding and failure for the misspelling, or my sleep deprivation, lol.
  
  WEGA PLEASE!
