Hasta La Gadget!

When it comes to TVs that offer the most bang for your hard earned buck, it is hard to deny Vizio a place in such a pantheon as their track record speaks for itself. The Vizio E-Series HDTV range, then, is the latest holiday line-up that boasts of a large screen size that hail from various classes of 70”, 60” (E601i), 50” (E500i), and 42” (E420i) LED Smart TVs. It does not matter whether you want to upgrade your living room TV or bedroom TV, Vizio does seem to have a little something for everyone. Not only that, there are also smaller screen size classes of 39” (E390), 32” (E320), 29” (E291) and 24” (E241) LED units available for you to choose from to suit your budget and needs.

A slim outer bezel makes Vizio’s latest range look nicer than ever before, and there is also a high-definition 1080p LED screen that reveals richer, more vivid colors, while advanced local dimming technology delivers deeper blacks and brighter whites for overall stunning picture quality. Depending on the E-Series model of your choice, you can also check out an ultra-thin profile that measures under 2” thin, while using Razor LED backlighting technology.

If you found the new lineup of Vizio TVs announced last month interesting, then you might want to check out some potential accessories. Vizio hopes that soundbars will be at the top of that list with four new models available online and in stores in time for the holidays. The line is divided in half between the E-Series and the M-Series, with the extra $20 that the M-Series costs buying you a small display and controls up top. Within each series, you have the option to pay an extra $100 for a wireless subwoofer. All four of them do feature SRS TruVolume and TruSurround, though. The full release is available after the break, but sadly doesn’t include as many details as you might want, so you may way to check out Vizio’s website for more.

Back during CES 2012, I had a chance to go hands-on with Vizio’s sexy new all-in-one PCs, and I was quite impressed with the industrial design, build quality and overall value at the time. With the impending release of Microsoft Windows 8, Vizio has announced two new AIO PCs with full 1080p touchscreen displays.

This only makes sense, given Microsoft’s touch-friendly user interface that’s the front doorway to Windows 8. What’s really cool is that these are actual capacitive-touch displays, allowing for full 10-finger input. I personally have an HP Touchsmart that used the older infrared sensing tech, and multitouch was limited to just 2 fingers – and not so good at that. This sort of display will provide the type of swiping, stretching and pinching interactions you’re used to on tablets and smartphones.

The systems are available with 3rd-generation Intel Core CPUs, and NVIDIA Kepler-Class GeForce GPUs for speedy graphic rendering. The 24″ comes with a Core i3-3110M running at 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive, while the 27″ comes with a speedy quad core i7-3630M, also at 2.4GHz and 8GB RAM. The 27″ system bumps up to a 1TB hard drive and has a small 32GB SSD built-in to cache OS and speed up the system even more. Both have GigE ports and 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi.

Each has dual HDMI inputs for connecting external devices like a PS3, Xbox 360 or a satellite receiver, and a 2.1 sound system with an included 6-watt subwoofer that doubles as the system’s power supply. Best of all, Vizio continues to ship their machines with Microsoft Signature – which ensures that you only get the core operating system and anti-virus software – with no pre-installed crapware you’d just have to remove anyway.

The Vizio All-in-One Touch PCs start at $999 and top out at $1539 (USD), and available in both 24″ and 27″ screen sizes. If you’re looking for an alternative to a pricey iMac, you should definitely check these out. They’re not yet available for pre-order, but should be in time for the 2012 holiday season. You’ll also be able to find select configurations at major retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Amazon.com and MicrosoftStore.com.

VIZIO has just confirmed that its holiday PC line-up will feature Windows 8 across the board. The flagship Windows 8 devices will be the 24″ and 27″ all-in-one PCs, but you can also expect Microsoft’s new operating system to show up on Vizio’s two Ultrabooks and in the company’s 14″ and 15.6″ laptops.

The VIZIO all-in-one had been shown earlier in the year at CES, and were launched in June. Until now, they came pre-installed with Windows 7, which is nice, but not as gesture-friendly as Windows 8. It is clear that the all-in-ones (AIO) PC are the heavy Windows 8 hitters in VIZIO’s line up. The laptops will benefit from trackpad gestures, but won’t be a game-changer in terms of user interaction.

The all-in-one PCs start at $998 and you can head to our previous coverage for more details and photos about them.

Vizio has just announced their latest Smart TV, which is a 60” Razor LED display that will definitely be priced to please – after all, we are looking at a $999.99 price tag. Of course, there are other sizes in the collection as well, which will be priced differently, and we will also look at those, but for now, the 60” model will be the one that is under the proverbial spotlight. In fact, the newly designed E-Series 60” Razor LED Smart TV will deliver an ultra-thin, slim-frame design, touting a brilliant 1080p Full HD LED quality as well as the inclusion of Vizio Internet Apps. All of that under a sub-$1,000 price point? It sure as heck sounds like Christmas has come early for those who are shopping around for a new TV!

The 60” Razor LED Smart TV will be available via online sources as well as select shelves at Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Amazon.com, Target, BJ’s Wholesale, ebay.com, VIZIO.com and other retailers if you are interested in introducing a new member to your living room.

Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, Vizio, said, “The new E-Series units, which are the first of many large-size VIZIO models, give consumers access to great technology on an even bigger scale. The larger units provide more screen space with a narrower border around the picture, allowing consumers to get the most out of the crystal-clear Razor LED picture for a more immersive, Wi-Fi enabled experience.”

What are some of the technologies found underneath the hood? We are looking at the latest technologies including Vizio Internet Apps with WIFI, so that one can access the likes of Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, VUDU, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook and Twitter, a 120Hz refresh rate, auto-adjusting brightness, and SRS StudioSound HD for clear audio.

You will be able to pick up the 55” Class Razor LED Smart TV, 60”Class Razor LED Smart TV, 65” Class Razor LED Smart TV, 65” Class Razor LED Smart TV with Theater 3D, and 70” Class Razor LED Smart TV for $949.99, $999.99, $1,499.99, $1,699.99 and $1,999.99, respectively.
