Focused on closer alignment with retail partners, adjusting to ever-changing customer dynamics and making announcements when it's right for the brand, VIZIO will be looking towards new ways to showcase its innovative products and technologies moving forward. After a number of successful showcases during CES, VIZIO is preparing for the next stage of brand development, bringing its showcase to more intimate venues for its partners, customers and press.
"Positive recognition from the press and multiple awards helped make this year's CES showcase the best yet for VIZIO," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "With that, since the timing of CES generally doesn't align with our product announcements, we'll be looking to other innovative ways to deliver news and display products heading into 2014. Consumers, retailers and press can continue to expect multiple new product and technology announcements throughout the year, just at more opportune times for VIZIO."
As VIZIO's final CES week showcase, the brand revealed new innovations across multiple product categories. Products such as a 120" Reference Series Ultra HD TV, VIZIO's P-Series Ultra HD collection which will launch with sub-$1,000 pricing on its 50" model, an all-new 21" 2.1 Sound Stand and others helped VIZIO earn more awards during 2014 CES than past years.
