Chrismakwanzika has come early for anyone remotely interested in Vizio kit, and fairly honestly, even for those that aren’t. From the top, we’ve got the 55-inch VF550XVT1A, a 1080p HDTV with 120Hz Smooth Motion Video technology, a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, five HDMI inputs, SRS TruSurround HD and a $1,999 MSRP. Next up is the firm’s own soundbar and wireless subwoofer kit (VSB210WS), which has finally escaped rumor purgatory to pop official. The kit sports four 3-inch speakers alongside a separate 1-inch tweeter for each channel, and the faraway throw 6.5-inch subbie makes certain the lows are well addressed, too. Just a separate cable is needed to associate the VSB210WS to any flat-panel, and just $349.99 is needed to bring it domestic. On deck are a trio of smaller LCDs: the 19-inch VA19 ($249.99), 22-inch VA22 ($349.99) and

26-inch VA26 ($449.99), with the middle guy fitting Vizio’s smallest 1080p HDTV ever. Closing things out is the 26-inch VMM26, a 25.5-inch “multimedia monitor” with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, HDMI / USB ports, touch-activated menus and a $429.99 sticker. All but the first two products mentioned are on sale now, while the first two will be available just before your ‘09 Super Bowl bash.
