Vizio has unleashed a huge new product line, and it now includes an OLED TV model that is undercutting the competition. Here’s everything you need to know.
Vizio has finally unveiled its next generation of TVs, the company’s 2021 lineup, and among them is the company’s first-ever OLED television, priced at $1,300 for the 55-inch model and $2,000 for the 65-inch model.
These are the lowest introductory prices for an OLED TV that we’ve seen in the U. S. and the first time a competitor has undercut LG, which for many years was the only brand making OLED TVs. That news alone is a game-changer, but it gets better: These will not be “budget TVs” from the standpoint of picture quality and overall performance. I expect these TVs to give LG, and possibly Sony, a run for their money.
To put Vizio’s pricing in perspective, LG’s least expensive OLED model this year, the BX, is presently priced at $1,500 for a 55-inch set and $2,200 for a 65-inch. Granted, that’s just a $200 difference, but consider that the BX OLED does not have LG’s best processor. Vizio’s OLEDs will have the company’s all-new processor, which subjectively looked excellent to me during demonstrations at CES 2020.
Continuing the price comparisons, Sony’s least expensive 2020 OLED TV, the A8H, is priced at $1,900 and $2,800 for the 55- and 65-inch models, respectively.
