A TikTok video shows a person walking through a Walmart electronics aisle, looking at various television brands and their prices. The video, posted by user JolliAllGenGamer, features a first-person perspective of someone browsing the TV section. The on-screen caption asks, “Walking by a bunch of TVs at Walmart some good deals on TCL Vizio ONN and Roku or these are all junk?”
As the camera moves past stacks of boxed televisions, the narrator begins speaking. “Okay, if you want to know, here’s Walmart TVs right here,” the voice says in the video. The footage shows a TCL S4 55-inch model with a price tag of $198. The narrator notes this, saying, “$198.”
The camera then passes a large box for a 60-inch Philips Roku TV, priced at $248. “Roku, $248,” the voice states. Further down the aisle, an ONN Vizio 60-inch QLED TV is displayed with a price tag of $548. The narrator comments on this brand, saying, “$548 for ONN. Never seen ONN.”
Viewers debate the quality of budget TV brands in the comments
The video continues to pan across the aisle, showing more television options. The camera turns to an area with multiple Vizio Quantum 4K QLED Smart TVs. A 50-inch Vizio model is shown with a price tag of $208. The narrator says, “And Vizio 208…” The camera then pans to a significantly larger 85-inch Vizio TV with a price tag of $698. The narrator rounds this up, stating, “85-inch, $700.” Finally, a 55-inch Vizio Quantum TV is visible with a price tag of $228, and the narrator confirms, “And $228 for the 55-inch.”
The video’s public caption questions whether the displayed brands are “all junk.” The clip has generated discussion in its comment section, with viewers sharing their own experiences and opinions about the featured TV brands. One commenter defended a brand, writing, “I don’t get the vizio hate. I still have a vizio i bought in 2011 that has never had a single issue.”
Another viewer offered a positive review of a different brand, stating, “TCL makes decent stuff.” A third commenter expressed a preference for a major brand, writing, “I only buy Samsung.” Another shared a recent purchase, saying, “I always used to buy very high end TVs but a year ago i bought TCL qm6k 65 inch …and let me tell you it’s a beautiful tv.”
Some comments focused on Walmart’s relationship with one of the brands. One viewer wrote, “Walmart bought Vizio 😏so now you have to practically allow Walmart to watch what you see so they can keep sending you ads😡.” Another comment simply stated, “Walmart owns Vizio tvs..” The video and its accompanying discussion highlight the ongoing conversation among consumers about the value and reliability of different television brands available at major retailers. Concerns about Walmart’s private-label products extend beyond electronics, as a mother recently found a hardened dark mass inside a sealed bag of Great Value tortilla chips.
