Vizio has announced two new LCD HDTVs as well as a new plasma model. Each of the new 1080p TVs will feature a pair of HDMI 1.3 inputs.

The 50" VP505XVT plasma TV will also be available starting in July for a price of $1700. It incorporates the Silicon Optix REON HQV video processor for deinterlacing, pulldown detection, and general picture cleanup.

Over the past two years Vizio has become a major player in the flat panel HDTV market, and is currently second only to Samsung in terms of unit sales.

Then will be the end of its success, with much know and bigger brands with the same price range they wont be a competition. They just were a big success cause of the really low prices for 720p 42", but these new prices they offer a somehow same or higher than big brands. [ + quote]

The reason for the higher prices are due to the 120Hz Refresh rate. If they were the 60Hz then the prices would be lower. [ + quote]
