Cheap Vizio 3D TV
Got $500? You Can Buy a 3D TV
Just in time for your tax refund, IRS willing, a cheap Vizio 3D TV is set to become available in April.
The lowest-price offering looks to be around $349.99 for a 32-inch TV, reports Engadget. The next-highest price is $549.99 for a 32-inch, 3D HGTV with Internet apps.
Part of the reason they may be so cheap is because the screens are LCD, not the pricier LED, point out commentators in the Engadget story. Other tech-savvy consumers complained about the 120Hz of the cheap Vizio 3D TV, saying anything under 240Hz is a joke, and say the image quality on the company's products tends to be poor.
Still, for someone who just wants a simple, passive 3D TV, it's hard to beat these prices. Vizio's been staking a claim on the LCD market, giving Samsung a run for its money. Might be worth a look.
"The one detail we couldn't wrangle out of Vizio about its upcoming 3DTV line at CES was the price, but now a few midrange models have popped up on the company's website early with full information. The 47-, 42- and 32-inch E3D models sport $899, $729 and $549 pricetags and a date of "coming soon," following the precedent of the 65-inch model released last fall. If that's not cheap enough, one of our readers has provided information that Walmart expects to have the E3D320VX and E3D420VX available for $498 and $698, respectively, starting in April..."
