Yup, I bought it direct via Vizio.com. At the time Sam's Club was carrying them so the fact that they ended up in Walmart isn't surprising. I wonder if the tv's the offer in Walmart are the same as the one's they sell direct? There were lots of "Made in the USA" logos all over the stuff in the box when it arrived. It wouldn't surprise me if the Walmart ones are "Made in China" fascimiles, but I don't know one way or the other. I'll have to check the ones out at Wally World the next time I have to resort going there for something.

It was my first "good" tv and I've been very pleased with the picture quality. I watch a lot of Nextel racing and I was amazed with how clear the pic was with the cameras following the cars as well as being able to read the signs alongside the track.
