Vizio Announces New LCD TVs - Higher Performance
Vizio, the world's largest maker of flat panel TVs has announced an answer to critics who've charged that while the manufacturer sells more flat panel TVs than anyone else, Vizio LCD and Plasma TVs haven't always been up to par in terms of video quality and features. Now Vizio is shooting back with a new XVT series of LCD TVs (they stopped marketing plasma Tvs some time ago) that is aimed at the high performance video and home theater market. Vizio is once again holding the line on price though.
On the new XVT Series they are including some of the advanced features seen on sets from leading LCD TV manufacturers as Samsung, Sharp, and Sony. One of these is Smart Dimming™ backlight TruLED™ LCD technology.
Vizio is also debuting a "full HD 1080p lineup featuring both 120Hz with Thin Line™ stylish designs and 240Hz SPS models using Smooth Motion™ technology, with the most sophisticated models incorporating TruLED and Smart Dimming™ backlight technology. In all models, VIZIO has integrated USB video inputs that are enhanced and offer high quality 1080p video playback, along with Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio™ of up to 2,000,000:1 makes for incredible black levels and almost three-dimensional imagery, they also include advanced user interface control with picture in picture and picture on picture functionality. VIZIO XVT models all include a universal learning backlit remote control. All models have superior audio, thanks to SRS Labs Technology with TruSurround HD™, which enhances clarity and produces surround sound without external speakers, and TruVolume™, which eliminates annoying volume fluctuations when switching channels or when commercials come on and off."
