Geek Tragedy: $2,100 Vizio TV Comes Up Short

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I never thought I'd say this, but it's getting to the point that the "V" in TV might as well stand for Vizio. Back in 2003, if my memory serves right, display heavies like Sony, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, ViewSonic and the rest felt the first faint winds of change in the TV business. Box store of all box stores Costco began carrying a new off-brand TV called Vizio. The sets were often half the price of the major names, but came with more than half the quality. Company founder William Wong believed that by keeping costs down, he could offer high-end quality at a lower price and create a whale of a business. He was right. The Irvine, Calif.-based TV maker has grown from five employees to more than 160. With sales north of $2 billion in 2008, the operation is on track to sell more than 10 million sets in 2010. That would be impressive enough in this Great Recession. But keep in mind that during the same period there was nothing but carnage in the larger electronics market. Sony's sales were down something like 20% last quarter. Vizio is the rare success story in displays right now. This holiday season, Vizio is making a major bet on a new riff of flat-panel TV technology that marries light-emitting diodes found in flashlights and car lamps with traditional liquid crystal display TV technology. Vizio brands these so-called LED/LCD hybrids as TruLED. And the company, which has never been media shy, has gone as far as to claim its new line of TruLED sets will not only match up to other LED LCDs, but against all TVs -- plasma, LCD or OLED, from any maker. That puts it squarely against some of the best TVs in the world, units like Pioneer's Kuro and Planar's I see Vizio's claims as fightin' words and decided to ...
