Vizio Intros 51″, 58″ and 71″ LCDs in 21:9 Aspect Ratio
To
day at CES, VIZIO will launch a new line of what the company is calling CinemaWide HDTVs with Theater 3D and VIZIO Internet Apps in an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio. Obviously aimed at people who use HDTVs primarily for watching movies (big-budget Hollywood blockbusters and the majority of new productions are filmed in the much wider 2.35:1 or 2.39:1 aspect ratios, while today’s HDTVs have a standard aspect ratio of 16:9), the resolutions will also allow viewers to view full-HD 16:9 programming side-by-side or multiple Internet Apps at once.
Three CinemaWide sets are being introduced: the 50-inch XVT3D500CM, the 58-inch XVT3D580CM and the 71-inch XVT3D710CM. All three are 2560×1080-resolution LCDs and the first two are 120Hz while the 71″ is 240Hz.
