It was designed by Philo Taylor Farnsworth. Charles Jenkins is also an important person to the creation of television because he created the first mechanical TV on June 23, 1925. (D’Addiro).

Televisions through time went from bulky, low resolution models to elegant High Definition (HD), Ultra HD displays. As they got slimmer, the resolution went higher as well, allowing for sharper images when gaming or watching movies and shows.

Another benefit is the vast opportunities for marketing. Electronic television has presents itself as an effective tool to demonstrate products. These demonstrations are placed at a certain moments on a program to ensure that people will see these products, but visually seeing a product led the masses to desire the product more.

This is what creates the advantage they posses over competitors. There is a strategically effective approach the company takes in order to offer these products in the price range in which they do. The televisions themselves are designed in America, but manufactured in Taiwan by Amtrans Technology Ltd. They are then imported to America by Amtrans. Amtrans is widely known as being the best quality producer of HDTV’s and is the second largest producer of flat panel televisions.

This ensures that all of their televisions offer the same, if not better quality, than Vizio’s competitors. Using such a large manufacturer such as Amtrans also allows Vizio to import and sell their products for cheaper than other companies. Therefore, we believe using this process will allow Vizio to import their televisions to Australia for around the same cost as those companies that they will be competing
