Sounds like a great deal. Hopefully you will get good picture and audio out of this unit.

i'm not aware of any relationship between vizio and funai, though it's possible that vizio did "research" by reverse engineering several different blu-ray players to see how to make a low-priced one of its own while still maximizing profits.
