Vizio's recent buyout highlights the value of smart TVs for advertisers, but the reality of it is, this push for ad-supported TVs has been slowly building for some time.

The retail giant pulls the trigger on its Vizio acquisition citing great potential for its Walmart Connect media business.

At the heart of the $2 billion deal is a focus on ad revenue potential that paints a better picture for the potential future of TVs in the home.

In 2024 homeowners can purchase everything from laser TV systems to video walls, and traditional flat-panel TVs to accommodate their desire for big-screen fun.

The TV manufacturer is settling a lawsuit alleging false or misleading advertising of the refresh rate of its LCD TVs.
