Vizio Unveils 55-inch 120Hz LCD HDTV

Vizio has decided to forgo CES and announce its new 55-inch 120Hz 1080p LCD. I don’t know about you guys but a lot of people are pretty excited about this set with a $1,999.99 price tag. $1,999.99 is already pretty expensive for me but for some people, this is a bargain. This will more or less, drag the prices down for similar TV sets.

The VF550XVT1A features a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a whopping five HDMI ports, and SRS TruSurround HD and TruVolume audio technology, the latter of which is designed to smooth out the jumps in volume when you’re switching channels. It will be available in January, just in time for Super Bowl viewing. While 52-inch LCDs are quickly coming down in price below $2,000, bigger LCDs are quite uncommon and are currently priced at least $500 more. We’ll need to see, however, if this Vizio can match a Bravia in picture quality.
