Vizio once again displayed its new line off-site at a Las Vegas Hotel. While Vizio continues to be in the number one or two LCD HDTV sales position, they remain the only top five TV company to opt out of a booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center, a real inconvenience and a time killer.
Prior to CES Vizio was very hush-hush, not releasing any product information. You can’t blame them. With only nine 2012 new model announcements I may have skipped the trek all together. Three entry level 3D sets are carried over from the 2011 line and a Vizio spokesman said it has not yet decided on the rest of the 2012 line-up or if they would carry over more models from last year. By comparison, during last year’s CES Vizio introduced 50 new 16:9 HDTVs.
For the third year in a row, Vizio showed its CinemaWide 2.37:1 aspect ratio TVs.

In addition to the debut of big screen OLED, 4K resolution TVs, and speech recognition remote controls, the 2012 CES will also be remembered for Sony’s realignment in the HDTV space. Transitioning from 2011 to 2012 Sony has radically pruned the number of series and models in its line, going from six series (XBR, HX, NX, EX, Google and BX) to four main lines (XBR, HX, EX, BX) and down from 29 2011 models to about 13 in 2012. The 2012 XBRs are expected around July while the rest of the lines ship in March. Sony is also dropping the Best Buy exclusive derivative models in 2012, shrinking its offerings even further.
