Say hello to the new VIZIO XVT 3D series, while the XVT Pro line
announced earlier this year (and that 72-inch model we were drooling
over) were not to be, these 42-, 47- and 55-inch HDTVs are real and on
sale today through Amazon, Sam's Club and Target's online shops and
should be on shelves later this month. Features like the number of LED
backlighting zones (for the 47- and 55-, the 42-inch features edge LED
lighting), claimed contrast ratio, WiFi N and VIZIO Internet Apps are
consistent with existing models, so the big addition this time around
is 480Hz refresh rate and obviously, 3D readiness (active shutter
glasses not included). VIZIO's also announced two new 3D compatible
Blu-ray players to match for $189, plus a new router and some high
priced HDMI cables to fill out the lineup. Full specs and prices are
in the press release after the break, but with a premium of $300-$400
on Amazon over the award winning 2D-only XVT3SV lineup (we have one in
for review, hint: it's excellent), most will probably want to wait for
some kind of package deal unless there's a copy of NBA 2K11 3D or
Black Ops burning a hole in their console right now.
Update: It appears VIZIO's made one other change since its initial 3D
announcement, these TVs feature 3D processing from RealD, instead of
the SENSIO/XpanD combo announced for the XVT Pro line, press release
is after the break. We asked if these glasses will be compatible with
those from other manufacturers but haven't gotten an answer to that
question yet.
