VIZIO's All-New 2015 E-Series Full-Array LED Smart TV Collection Delivers Superior Picture Performance and Smart TV Options in Every Model from 24" to 70"

IRVINE, Calif., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VIZIO, the #1 Smart TV company in the U.S.¹, announced today the availability of its all-new 2015 E-Series Full-Array LED Smart TV collection. Backed by the brand's leadership in HDTV technology, the VIZIO E-Series line-up features Full-Array LED backlighting with up to 16 Active LED Zones™ for excellent picture quality and VIZIO Internet Apps Plus^® offering premium apps with the hottest movies, TV shows and more.⁷ The collection is rolling out now to retailers now including Amazon, Best Buy, BJ's Wholesale, Costco Wholesale, Sam's Club, Target, VIZIO.com and Walmart.

The all-new E-Series collection offers consumers the latest technology at an incredible value, and is available in a full range of screen size classes from 24" to 70". The 2014 E-Series collection was heralded by Sound & Vision as a Top Pick² and by CNET as one of the Highest Rated TVs of 2014³, and with that praise, VIZIO aimed to push the technology and picture quality even further across this year's line-up. The 2015 VIZIO E-Series collection⁴ boasts Full-Array LED backlighting technology, which delivers brilliant picture quality and advanced control of the LEDs behind the entire screen for superior light uniformity and picture performance as compared to edge-lit TVs. Up to 16 Active LED Zones™ dynamically adjust the LED backlighting to match the light and dark portions of on-screen content, culminating in better light uniformity complete with deeper black levels and brighter colors⁵ for a more vibrant, beautiful picture. Clear Action 240 across most models offers enhanced motion clarity with 120Hz effective refresh rate and powerful image processing so sports and fast-action scenes are seen with stunningly sharp detail. By combining powerful image processing and 120 Hz effective refresh rates, the 2015 E-Series line-up delivers next-level clarity, reducing motion blur and minimizing retina burn⁵.

"This year's E-Series delivers great picture quality and performance with more Smart TV apps, all at an incredible value to the consumer," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "Picture performance is enhanced by Full-Array LED backlighting and Active LED Zones, which pull out deeper blacks and brighter colors, while powerful image processing and 120Hz effective refresh rate improves details in fast action scenes. These innovations to our E-Series collection make it an affordable entertainment fixture for any room."

All models in the 2015 E-Series collection are equipped with VIZIO's latest generation Smart TV platform, VIZIO Internet Apps Plus, to give consumers the power to stream the hottest movies, TV shows, music and more right to the TV. The seamless Smart TV experience is possible thanks to built-in WiFi⁶ with apps such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, iHeartRadio, Hulu Plus, Spotify, YouTube and more.⁷ VIZIO Internet Apps Plus allows consumers to enjoy advanced features like second screen interactivity, enabling them to surf for Netflix or YouTube content on their smartphone or tablet, and then send the video directly to their VIZIO E-Series Smart TVs.

Consumers can find the new E-Series collection both in-store and online through key retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, BJ's Wholesale, Costco Wholesale, Sam's Club, Target, VIZIO.com and Walmart.  MSRP pricing for the collection starts at $179.99 for the 24" E-Series Smart TV up to $1,399.99 for the 70" class size.  For more information visit VIZIO.com.
