Vizio readies its sub-$2000 47-inch 1080p LCD TV
By Darren Murph | December 16, 2006
Ah Vizio, at it again with the low-cost offerings (which Sony doesn’t appreciate very much). While we’re sure more than a few folks are kicking back and gazing at their recently-purchased $1,000 42-inch PDP, the firm has divulged that come next February, we can all expect a 47-inch LCD HDTV to hit Sam’s Club, Costco, and potentially other big box retailers for “less than $2,000.” Oh, and it sports 1080p, too. The firm’s CEO declared that current 1080p sets in the $3,000+ range simply “aren’t affordable,” and is hoping the Super Bowl rush to pick up an HDTV before the big game will boost sales of its undercutting set. An analyst noted that Vizio’s offerings didn’t “have all the extra features” that other manufactures typically include, and that it didn’t feature “the best picture quality,” but admitted that it was a bargain and “a good value” nonetheless. So if you know that aging set will need replacing come Super Bowl Sunday, and you’ve only got about two large to throw down, Vizio should be able to fit the bill quite nicely.
