VIZIO introduces Internet app-enabled XVT HDTV series
Who really needs to pay extra for a TiVo or DVR during these trying economic times, right? VIZIO recently announced a new line of HDTVs that will incorporate video streaming sites and video applications. I got a chance to check out the TVs yesterday, and I was duly impressed.
The fall 2009 line of Extreme VIZIO Technology series (XVT) allows you to subscribe to Vudu, Netflix, Blockbuster OnDemand, Amazon Video On Demand, and Rhapsody, and you can stream content for free from sites like Showtime and Pandora. The TVs also enable you to choose widgets for your favorite Internet time-wasting sites, like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter.
The HDTVs range in size from 32 inches to 55 inches. All models include USB video inputs that offer high quality 1080p video playback. The 42-inch to 55-inch models offer 240 scenes per second at 1080p with Smooth Motion technology.
