Vizio reveals $3,499 price for its 58-inch ultrawidescreen HDTV

We were told at CES last month to expect Vizio’s ultrawidescreen LCDs would hit the market sooner rather than later, now we know how it will fit into our budgets, even if we’re not sure how the aspect ratio will fit in our living rooms. Similar to the way its first Theater 3D TVs popped up last year , the XVT 3D CinemaWide product page reveals a 58-inch model (50- and 71-inchers are also planned ) sporting its trademark 21:9 aspect ratio (compared to a traditional HDTV’s 16:9) and 2560×1080 resolution will start at $3,499. It also has an array of specs, measuring the 120Hz Edge LED lit screen at 56.7-inches wide by 29-inches high and 1.8-inches deep.

Samsung 2011 Q4 earnings official: $42 billion in sales, $4.7 billion operating profit

It might not be making as much money as the competition in Cupertino , but that doesn’t mean Samsung isn’t raking in cash at an astonishing clip. We reported earnings estimates a few weeks ago, but now it’s official that the firm posted a 5.3 trillion won ($4.7 billion) operating profit in Q4 2011. That represents over a 2 trillion won ($1.8 billion) increase year over year.

Vizio ultrawidescreen, Google TV and Cinema 3D HDTV hands-on

After Vizio gave the world a preview of its PC and tablet plans it also announced plans for new HDTVs and a couple of set-top boxes, so we couldn’t resist traveling back over to its Wynn-based lounge to view the beasts in their natural habitat. We won’t make too much of it, but if you read last year’s hands-on preview , unfortunately much of this is similar, as we mentioned when they were announced — much of this tech was originally planned to ship in 2011
