The Vizio home entertainment line up is centered around TV’s. Until early 2009, Vizio were making both LCD and plasma televisions however they have since announced that they are no longer competing in the plasma market, and are instead focusing on LCD televisions exclusively.

When you are searching for a new LCD TV, it is easy to become confused by the technical jargon accompanying the model you are interested in.

In this article I attempt to break through the techno babble to inform you what the most common terms mean and how they should affect your buying decision.

Artifacts

This is when unwanted markings appear in images on screen, such as dots and pixelation. Many Vizio TV’s have a pulldown feature that reduces the occurrence of artifacts.

Aspect Ratio

This is the comparison of the width and height of the screen in ratio format. 16:9 indicates widescreen. 4:3 was the ratio on older CRT televisions. Cinema screens also use 16:9.

Audio In / Out Connectors

These connectors let you use external speakers to listen to the sound from your TV.

Colour Temperature Control

This is a common setting in Vizio LCD screens. It lets you change the white balance which you may need to do in various lighting conditions.

Component Input

A high quality video input, this is your red, green and blue sockets.

Picture-in-picture (PIP)

A much lauded feature of Vizio televisions, PiP lets you view 2 broadcasts at once. Usually one is a smaller image that is displayed within the larger one.

Resolution

The higher the resolution, generally the better quality the picture. 1080p indicates full high definition resolution whilst 720p comes second. However most people will not recognize the difference between the two on most Vizio and other brand TV’s.

Vizio home entertainment provides quality at affordable prices: that is what Vizio have built their reputation on and that is what has placed them in the top 5 LCD manufacturers in the world.
