Low-cost HDTV maker Vizio isn’t bashful about its product introductions, and is apparently now taking a shotgun approach to the high-definition television market, announcing total of 31 new models that will be available to consumers starting from right now and running through September, 2009. The models are distributed across three lines—XVT, M, and E series—and are designed to appeal to a range of consumers tastes—and all 31 units are Energy Star 3.0-compliant.

Vizio Pushes 1080p with XVT Series
Normally a low flier in the display world, California-based Vizio eeked out a trio of new 1080p flat-panel displays on Wednesday that boast specs very close to their more notable competitors, but with budget prices. The new XVT series features 42- and 47-inch LCD panels along with a 50-inch plasma, all with prices well short of $2,000.
The SV470XVT and SV420XVT LCDs (47 and 42 inches, respectively) both feature a quicker 120Hz refresh rate intended to reduce the motion blur that afflicts ordinary 60Hz sets. They’ve also been equipped with SRS Labs’ TruSurround XT audio processing, which make it possible to use the TV’s built-in speakers as part of a surround set up when coupled with the rear channels and subwoofer in Vizio’s SV5.1 upgrade kit. Both reach contrast ratios of 6,500:1.
