While the piano black bezel construction has been a distinguishing
characteristic of VIZIO's, the entire Evolution Series will sport a bold and
elegant contemporary flat black design that is sure to appeal to the most
style conscious consumers. The VO42LF, VO47LF and VO52LF will sport Full 1080p
High Definition performance and four HDMI inputs for a wide range of external
devices including cable/satellite set top boxes, high definition disc players
such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray as well as new 1080p gaming consoles like
Playstation3 and Xbox 360.
VIZIO's Evolution does not stop there however, with an expanded assortment
of High Definition 720p performance in the new VO22L, VO32L, and VO37L Flat
Panel LCD's. While the smaller 22-inch VO22L LCD features two HDMI inputs and
1680x1050 resolution, the more feature rich VO32L and VO37L bear the load with
two HDMI rear inputs while adding an additional side access High Definition
Game Port with HDMI connectivity, picture-in-picture, picture-on-picture, zoom
and freeze frame and a VIZIO custom remote control. Additionally, enhanced
video performance is achieved with reduced pixel noise, improved contrast and
advanced color balancing and equalization.
Key to the Evolution series of products is VIZIO's understanding that HDMI
affords consumers the ultimate in HDTV connectivity. As a result, each product
within the Evolution VO series of products will include a 6' HDMI cable and
Deluxe Size Cleaning Cloth.
The Evolution series is set for distribution in major club and warehouse
chains such as Costco, BJ's and Sams' Club throughout the first half of 2008
with the following estimated selling prices:

The new Evolution models can be seen along with VIZIO's other new 2008
