Vizio has announced two new LCD HDTVs as well as a new plasma model. Each of the new 1080p TVs will feature a pair of HDMI 1.3 inputs.
The 42' SV420XVT and 47" SV470XVT LCD TVs are expected to start shipping in July and will retail for $1500 and $1900 respectively. Both have a refresh rate of 120Hz.
The 50" VP505XVT plasma TV will also be available starting in July for a price of $1700. It incorporates the Silicon Optix REON HQV video processor for deinterlacing, pulldown detection, and general picture cleanup.
Over the past two years Vizio has become a major player in the flat panel HDTV market, and is currently second only to Samsung in terms of unit sales.
