Yesterday, Vizio unveiled its 2013 HDTV collection, which includes notable additions meant to keep pace with a rapidly advancing industry. Here’s a quick look at the three featured series Vizio brought to the show.

M-Series Razor LED Smart TV w/Theater 3D

This model ranges from 50- to 80-inches and from an $850 price point all the way up to a $5,500 tag. The TVs sport a razor thin bezel, Smart TV capability, theater 3D, a 240Hz refresh rate, and Smooth Motion technology. The M-Series will be available for purchase later this year.

E-Series Razor LED Smart TV

This model ranges from 24 to 70 inches and from a $200 price point to a $2,000 tag. The TVs feature a 120Hz refresh rate, 4 HDMI inputs, and a barely-there bezel. Of the three models represented in the 2013 lineup, this is the only one that’s available now.

XVT-Series Ultra HD Razor LED Smart TV with Theater 3D

This model has three sizes, 55-, 65-, and 70-inches and all price points are currently unannounced. The TVs feature a 240Hz refresh rate, theater 3D, an ultra-slim bezel, and four times as many pixels as a standard, full HDTV. The XVT-Series will be available later this year.

There’s plenty to chew on here. For our money, it looks like the 60-inch E-Series Razor LED Smart TV ($1,000) might be the best buy of the bunch. If you’re a 3D devotee, however, the limbo-low $850 price tag on the 50-inch M-Series Razor LED Smart TV has to look enticing. The TBA price tag on the XVT-Series is interesting too. Vizio being a value brand, we wonder if they’ve got something up their sleeve that might  allow them to bring 4K/Ultra HD down a peg from its prohibitive price point. If price is a major concern for you, consider that the M and E-Series can also be scaled down to omit 3D or Smart TV capability, if your looking for something more affordable.

This 60-inch Vizio 4K Smart TV gets a huge $250 price cut at Walmart
vizio 60 inch 4k tv deal walmart d series hdr

Time is of the essence here, so we aren't going to beat about the bush: Walmart has kicked off an unmissable deal on one of Vizio's best 60-inch 4K TVs, reducing it from $700 to a healthier $450. The retailer is running low on stock though, so those wanting to take advantage of the offer will need to act fast or risk disappointment.

If $450 is still a little too steep, Walmart has the solution -- it's offering customers the option to take that figure and stretch it over a twelve month period, equating to a more manageable $44 per month, including all interest and taxes. It's also throwing in a $25 rebate, in the form of statement credit, for those who take that route.

Beats Solo 4: the latest on-ear headphones get spatial and lossless audio
Beats Solo 4 in Cloud Pink.

After a nearly eight-year gap, Beats finally has an updated version of its Solo wireless on-ear headphones: the Beats Solo 4. The fourth-gen cans look nearly identical to their predecessors and they sport the same $200 price tag. Under that familiar exterior, however, lies a series of upgrades, including support for spatial and lossless audio, that Beats hopes will keep the Solo 4 as its most popular product. The Solo 4 can be ordered starting April 30 in Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink, with shipping beginning May 2. Beats also debuted its latest wireless earbuds, the Solo Buds.

Physically, very little has changed since the Solo3 Wireless debuted in 2016. The Solo 4 preserves the now-classic Beats lines, with the same folding hinges and a low-profile headband that transitions seamlessly into the earcups. Some of the chrome-finish accents have been retired, but the distinctive lowercase "b" Beats logo is still front and center.
