“If a TV is Sold at Best Buy, and that same TV model is sold at Walmart, are those 2 TV's made from the same parts and same quality? I've heard that Best Buy gets higher quality products than other retail chains such as walmart and sams club. So my question is if i buy the same model TV at Bestbuy as I do walmart, will they both be of the same exact specifications and built with the same parts and of the same quality”

No they are not, I've worked in the industry for over 10 years, and I can tell you for a fact that the walmarts and SAMs clubs are made more cheaply, ex. Cheaper plastics, and some cheaper components, exact model numbers mean nothing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the model numbers are the same, it's the same TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Vizio does have multiple revisions using the same model numbers. Parts, to include the actual screen, can be different between revisions. Don't know if different retailers get different revisions, but I would check the box for the item you are purchasing before paying for it to verify what you are getting. Note - newest revision isn't always the best. Make sure you research online before buying.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In general if its cheaper there is a reason why the "same" tv is that way. Less ports, cheaper components, etc. Maybe they (Wal-Mart and Sam's) have changed but this was the case a few years ago.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If they have the same model number then they are the same tv.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Short answer: Yes. If they have the same Model number, they come off the same factory line at the same spot. Long Answer: While they ARE the same, remember that if there's an issue with something, WalMart might just swap your TV with another, no big deal....or they might make it torturous. With Best Buy, you can usually tack on a bit of a better extra warranty, and even if you don't, they're a whole lot better at dealing with any issues than Wally World. I've found that with LED TV's, the best idea in the world is to extend your warranty. First, they're generally easier on their components than either Plasma or LCD, there's less of a chance of burn-in with them. That means that anything that does go wrong with an LED TV is something more serious. Best Buy has, hands down, the best warranties for your items.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, they are not the same TV. Look closely at the model #. Walmarts model # will vary slightly from Best Buy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Every time I bought a TV Best buy has been cheaper than Walmart as far as TV goes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Im trying to buy a high rank tv that does different things
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I actually have no idea, but you'd think if they had the same model numbers they'd have to be the same.
