Earlier today, we mentioned six new VIZIO LED TVs that are starting to ship. However, one of them really deserves a little spotlight, thanks to an amazingly low price. According to VIZIO, the E-Series 60-inch E601i-A3 Razor LED Smart TV can be had right now, for just $999.99.
A 60-inch HDTV for under $1000? The amazing thing about this HDTV isn't the size or the price (of course, we like both of those features). It's that this set isn't lacking any features that you'd expect from one of today's new HDTVs.
OK, it's doesn't have 3D support. However, it does pack an awful lot of features into that super thin frame. This 60-incher includes a full 1080p HD image, a 120Hz refresh rate with smooth motion, and Razor LED technology for rich colors and detail.
This HDTV also comes with a "smart" remote, which includes a QWERTY keyboard. That kind of access makes it a lot easier to whip through all of the TVs features, including VIZIO Internet Apps. This is VIZIO's web-based platform, which provides on-screen access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora, and so much more.
Other features include built-in WiFi for accessing the web with ease, as well as four HDMI inputs, two USB ports, an Ethernet jack, and more.
"VIZIO's 60-inch (E601i) is a Smart TV with the thin LED design that consumers prefer, at a price that would have only bought you a 42-inch CCFL TV in October 2009," said Tamaryn Pratt, principal of Quixel Research. "VIZIO has been able to drive the price down for consumers, allowing them to enjoy the latest features and a slim design on a larger screen, at a great value. With a 60-inch TV offering more than twice the screen viewing area of a 42-inch TV, now is the perfect time for consumers to trade up."
