Looking for a new 4K TV, or just a person seeking to own your first? Well, worry not because Vizio has announced several 4K TVs for those who are interested, and guess what? The starting price isn't that bad.
These new displays from Vizio, are geared towards those folks who are on a budget and not looking to spend $4,000 on a TV. The cheapest 4K TV here is one that costs a cool $730. From what we can tell, this is the most affordable 4K TV on the market, and we have no doubt other companies will follow.
The device is called the D-Series 50 4K Ultra HD Full-Array LED Smart TV (D50u-D1). It is rocking a 50-inch LED display, and it is also a Smart TV, so an excellent combination for the asking price.
Not surprising since the price is intentional. Vizio wants to give consumers an entry level device into the world of both 4K and Smart TV, all in a single package. We've been seeing Smart TVs everywhere for quite some time, but none has managed to hit this $730 price tag with 4K intact.
"The versatility of the all-new D-Series collection gives consumers an affordable entry point to Smart TV and 4K Ultra HD technologies," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "With an increasing range of 4K movies and shows in the market, D-Series makes 4K Ultra HD entertainment more accessible than ever, boasting excellent picture quality enhanced by Full-Array LED backlighting and Active LED Zones."
Other 4K Smart TVs coming from Vizio includes the D55u-D1 for $880, the D58u-D3 for $1,050, and the D65u-D2 for $1,200. There's also the D40u-D1, but it doesn't have a price right now. Since the screen size is only 40-inches, we expect it to be less expensive than the company's $730 offering.
Bear in mind that folks who want to get everything out of their Smart TV should invest in a broadband Internet connection at home. Many features require an Internet connection; for example, the ability to make and receive Skype calls, or to playback YouTube videos.
