Vizio is bringing the theater to your living room with its new XVT 3D CinemaWide TruLED Smart TV Models that includes the 50-inch XVT3D500CM, the 58-inch XVT3D580CM and the 71-inch. Each model features panoramic 21:9 aspect ratio HDTV, expanding the boundaries of conventional widescreen TVs to set a new standard in 
2560 x 1080 resolution.

Each model has the state-of-the-art passive 3D technology that’s actually used in theaters that coupled with its panoramic display provides movie buffs with the feeling of being at the movies in the comfort of their own home.

The smaller two models use Edge-lit LED backlighting, which exhibit a contrast ratio of 1,000,000 to 1, while the larger flagship model features full array “TruLED” backlighting, resulting in superior black levels and contrast, according to Vizio.

Built-in WiFi and Vizio Internet Apps (V.I.A.) are included in each model, allowing you to do more with your TV than just watch it. The V.I.A. experience makes top online content and services available at the touch of a button, including: Hulu Plus, Facebook, Flickr, Netflix, Rhapsody, Pandora, Twitter, VUDU, and Yahoo! TV Widgets. All also have a premium Bluetooth universal remote control with an integrated QWERTY keyboard for control and navigation.

While many will anticipate the arrival of these new models, Vizio has yet to release price and a launch date on its XVT 3D CinemaWide TruLED Smart TVs.
