Choosing HDTV

High Definition TVs For Quality

"VIZIO is leading the way in bringing new technology to America. Their 120Hz TVs grew 64.3% Y/Y while the industry only grew 12.5%," stated Paul Gagnon, Director of North American TV Research at DisplaySearch.Many people are purchasing digital TV and the numbers are growing. When governmental regulations on digital broadcasting take effect, prices should plummet to a reasonable level. It is important to compare TV's before purchasing. The lower-quality digital sets offer DVD quality pictures. This is fine since only a small percentage of people have signed up for HD programming.VIZIO saw significant sales increases in Theater 3D(TM) capable sets, which took home awards at this year's CES including CNET's "Best of CES" award for the television category and Popular Mechanics"Editor's Choice" award. With new Theater 3D models arriving in Q2 and Q3 of this year, this feature is expected to become one of the most demanded among new HDTV buyers. VIZIO also saw incredible sales in their award-winning XVT lineup with VIZIO Internet Apps as well as Blu-ray players with wireless Internet apps and the nation's best-selling Sound Bar.SOURCE VIZIO, Inc.VIZIO remains the leader in Sound Bar sales** with the best-selling VHT210 and VHT510 leading the way with 367% Y/Y growth. They also shipped more than 25,000 of their Dual Band HD Wireless Internet Routers in Q1***, signaling that America's demand for improved high-speed streaming and playback is strong.

Even with all this advanced technology be prepared to be disappointed. The majority of broadcast programming is still on the analog format known as NTSC (National TV System Committee). The NTSC format is an old format that been around for a long time. Even with the higher- definition big screen TVs, these pictures are fuzzy at best. Crystal clear TV will not be available until HD programming becomes available.
