Post-Acquisition Integration
Walmart acquired Vizio in 2024 and is proceeding to fully integrate the TV manufacturer by phasing out independent Vizio accounts. This process ensures all user interactions align under Walmart's ecosystem.
Account Setup for New Vizio TVs
Upon purchasing a new Vizio TV, users must sign in with or create a Walmart account. Customers with existing Vizio accounts have the option to merge them into their Walmart account. The sole alternative is to delete the Vizio account entirely.
Deletion and Data Access Policy
According to an email sent by Vizio, users opting to delete their account have 30 days to request a copy of any associated data, after which it may no longer be available. The email further details the merge process, though full specifics are available in the original source.
User Account Options
- Sign in or create a Walmart account for new Vizio TVs.
- Merge existing Vizio account with Walmart account.
- Delete Vizio account, with 30-day data retrieval window.
