Irvine, Calif. – Vizio
reported Monday that U.S. consumers purchased more than 280,000 Vizio HDTVs
during Black Friday week, up 40 percent over the same period last year.
The increase was attributed in part to the popularity of the
company’s higher performance HDTV offerings, including such features as TruLED
backlighting with Smart Dimming, fast 120/240Hz refresh rates and a full
product range from 19- to 55-inches, the company said.
“Thanks to the strength and efficiency of our valued retail
partners such as Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Target, BJ’s Wholesale,
Sears, Dell, Nebraska Furniture Mart, BrandsMart and Tiger Direct, Vizio has
achieved another record-breaking year of Black Friday sales of HDTVs, Blu-ray
players, high-definition sound bars and high performance HDMI cables,” stated
Laynie Newsome Vizio sales and marketing communications VP and company
co-founder. “We consistently strive to offer consumers more and are pleased to
see the great success of our high performance products which allow us to
continue to grow and expand Vizio products to a wider range of consumers
seeking the latest technology at a great value.”
