The New VIZIO 80” M-Series TV is Now Available

We are excited to announce that the all-new VIZIO M-Series 80” Razor LED Smart TV with Theater 3D is now available at VIZIO.com, Best Buy, Costco, Amazon, Sam’s Club and Walmart.

The 80” smart TV platform has been revamped so users of all skill levels can quickly and easily breeze through set-up and get connected. The intuitive smart TV platform offers more apps than ever before, making it convenient to start watching TV or browse apps like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, M-GO, VUDU, HuluPlus, YouTube, Pandora and Facebook, using the TV’s built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to the Internet.

Like the rest of the M-Series collection, the 80” unit boasts an ultra-modern, ultra-thin bezel that virtually vanishes next to the edge-to-edge display and features a sleek backlit smart remote control perfect for nighttime viewing. Beginning Summer 2013, all M-Series remote controls will be enabled with Wi-Fi and Universal remote features, allowing consumers to efficiently navigate and seamlessly switch between devices.

Featuring Smart Dimming technology to deliver deeper blacks and brighter whites, the 80” Razor LED M-Series features a more vivid picture with full HD 1080p and 240Hz effective refresh rate featuring Smooth Motion enhanced with backlight scanning. VIZIO’s Theater 3D technology provides a crystal-clear, flicker-free 3D picture for a more immersive 3D viewing experience.

Day Two with VIZIO & AMD at E3

We had a blast at day two of E3 with AMD and got to show off our VIZIO technology. One of the highlights of the AMD booth is AMD’s Eyefinity Technology complete with five VIZIO M-Series TVs.

AMD Eyefinity supports multiple independent display outputs simultaneously and delivers innovative graphics display capabilities. It allows you to enable massive desktop workspaces and ultra-immersive visual environments for the ultimate panoramic computing experience. Because after all, what is better than gaming on five M-Series TVs? Sounds like heaven to us.

Kyle Larson Takes 5th Place in the Dupont Pioneer 250

It was another exciting weekend of racing for Kyle Larson in the #32 VIZIO/Hulu Plus car. Even when Mother Nature tried to rain on our parade, postponing the Dupont Pioneer 250 which was originally scheduled to run Saturday night; that didn’t stop Kyle from turning out a great run at Iowa Speedway when the race was rescheduled Sunday morning.

After starting in the 10th position, Kyle made his way toward the front of the pack and completed the 250 mile race with a solid 5th place finish. We’re proud to have had Kyle Larson as a part of the VIZIO/Hulu racing team and wish him the very best of luck in the rest of his racing season.

A Closer Look at VIZIO Smart Dimming Technology

Check out this quick VIZIO Smart Dimming demo straight from VIZIO HQ. On the left we are playing a movie and on the right you can see VIZIO’s Smart Dimming technology in action. We have removed the LCD screen on the VIZIO TV on the right which gives you clear view of the LED backlight.

As you can see, the intelligent local dimming zones ensure that your picture gives you the optimal brightness and consistency which delivers a lifelike image. Check out the above video to see how the LED backlight dims and brightens during the different scenes in the movie.

VIZIO Takes Indy & Charlotte Race Weekend

It was a great weekend of fast cars and exciting races for the VIZIO IndyCar and NASCAR drivers.

Saturday afternoon saw rookie Kyle Larson dominate most of his competition to take 4th place after starting 18th at the NASCAR History 300 in Charlotte, NC.

Sunday was the biggest day for any race fan with not only the Indy 500 in Indianapolis, IN, but also the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 taking place in Charlotte, NC.

Ryan Briscoe put in a great effort in the #8 NTT DATA car, co-sponsored by VIZIO and HuluPlus at the Indy 500 and secured a 12th place finish for his team. Back in Charlotte, Jamie McMurray endured some problems with his #1 car, which put him in 19th place when the checkered flag waved.

We’re very proud of all of our VIZIO drivers and look forward to seeing Kyle Larson back in the #32 VIZIO/Hulu Plus Chevy for races in Dover and Iowa over the next two weeks.
