VIZIO today introduced a new line of products called the XVT Series, offering more features and extended performance at breakthrough prices. Distinguished with bold new packaging, which sports an elegant black/grey lava and gold VIZIO logo, the first three models within the XVT series are the SV420XVT and SV47XVT LCD HDTVs featuring 120Hz processing in addition to the VP505XVT Plasma HDTV which provides full 1080p and HQV processing. These Full HD 1080p TVs offer VIZIO’s highest value with the latest advancements in video display technology. The distinctive and sleek industrial design is highlighted by thin, piano black bezels.

“Full 1080p resolution has certainly come of age, especially as lower cost, next generation HD disc players and games make their way into the warehouse and department store channels,” says Laynie Newsome, vice president sales at VIZIO, Inc. “The XVT series is just one example of the best-of-breed products VIZIO offers as we continue to create the widest selection of HDTVs with state-of-the art performance and features.”

VIZIO SV470XVT and SV420XVT 120Hz LCD TVs
Boasting 120Hz and Full HD 1080p resolution, the SV470XVT (47″) and SV420VXT (42″) incorporate VIZIO’s Smooth Motion technology that delivers flawless video frame after frame.

The faster refresh rate of 120Hz is twice the speed of many other LCDs (60Hz) and eliminates motion blur from fast-action movies and video games. Since judder, a visual artifact that can occur when film is transferred to video, and motion blur are more visible on screens larger than 32″, Smooth Motion is critical for delivering the best picture performance possible from any video input format on both the SV470XVT and SV420XVT.

Over two million pixel resolution (1080p) provides superior clarity, while the high contrast ratio of 6500:1 ensures exceptionally deep, rich blacks and brilliant colors. VIZIO Select® provides customized video settings that are preset for specific content such as movies, sports and TV.

The SV470LF and SV420LF use SRS Labs’ TruSurround XT® audio processing for premium virtual surround and they are also compatible with the VIZIO SV5.1 Upgrade Kit that adds 5.1 surround sound functionality with the inclusion of rear channel speakers and a wireless subwoofer. Both include the new brushed aluminum-trimmed VUR8 Universal Learning Remote with Picture-In-Picture keys, handsomely designed to control an entire A/V system.

Each model provides side access HD Game Ports with two HDMI v1.3 inputs for fast connections of game consoles, camcorders and other portable sources, in addition to two HDMI ports on the rear panel.

Available through traditional consumer electronics retailers such as Circuit City and Sears and Club retailers like Costco and Sam’s Club, the new VIZIO SV420XVT and VIZIO SV470XVT are planned to ship in July and carry estimated selling prices of $1499.99 and $1899.99 respectively.
