Why this rating

“The 2 megapixel macro camera... honestly it's garbage. The resolution is too low, the focus is fixed...”[13:15] →
Blunt, negative assessment of a hardware feature based on testing results, countering marketing hype.
“Huge thanks to Vizio for sponsoring this video and sending out the TV for me to check out.”[0:08] →
