Participants of the program gain early access to the first VIA-enabled HDTVs and also are eligible to receive a free VIZIO Blu-ray player and Sound Bar package (retail value over $500) upon completion of a six-week interactive survey. [4]
With VIZIO’s first LED local dimming backlit HDTV just days away from debut and its first Connected TV nearing production, we were able to lay eyes and hands on the television and its funky QWERTY Bluetooth / IR combo remote. [...] I don’t know about the Bluetooth part of the remote, but the slide out keyboard is way better than any onscreen keyboard hunt-and-peck-style. [6]
The 55″ and 47″ models feature VIZIO’s industry-leading TruLED backlighting with Smart Dimming technology for incredible brilliance, color and contrast. [1]
This direct type, backlit HDTV is comprised of 960 LEDs divided into 80 control blocks and utilities Smart Dimming(TM) to intelligently control these blocks turning them on and completely off based on the content you’re watching. [2]
These high performance XVT Series HDTVs also pack the latest in picture quality and audio technologies. [1]
VIZIO is pleased to announce the extension of their VIA platform to an additional 12 new HDTV models in 2010. [4]
