Irvine-based Vizio Inc. introduced its first line of ultra high-definition TVs during private meetings with media last week on the eve of the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The company’s P-Series Ultra HD Full-Array LED Smart TV collection allows consumers to stream ultra high-definition content through applications such as Netflix, which recently announced it will be producing what’s called native 4K content, essentially the highest resolution on the market today.
It took Vizio nearly two years to develop the processor and chips to produce the clear and crisp images in the latest generation of pixel improvement.
The company is a latecomer to an emerging segment. Orange-based Westinghouse Digital LLC joined the likes of Samsung, Sony and LG in releasing its first ultra high-definition model last year.
