"It's been a hot minute since we've seen any new kit from the cats at VIZIO, but it has evidently been hoarding up sets in anticipation for today. This morning, the company has let loose details on a veritable smorgasbord of new TVs, all of which fall within the XVT, M and E series. The XVT line is getting a boost from the new TruLED VF551XVT, which packs 240Hz dejudder technology, as well as a number of other companions ranging from 32- to 55-inches in size. The M series is amongst the prettiest of the bunch, boasting a JAVA design, 1080p panels and 120Hz technology. Finally, the E series (E is for Eco, get it?) sucks down far less energy than most, with screen sizes spanning from 19- to 42-inches. Far too many new sets are being unveiled to detail here, but you can feel free to dig in after the break.%Gallery-65319%VIZIO America's #1 HDTV Company Delivers NEW High  Performance TV Collection - Number One shipper of Flat Panel HDTVs in USA unveils wide range of high- performance, high-value televisions - Flagship Extreme VIZIO Technology, XVT&amp;trade; Series advances television's state of the art with NEW TruLED&amp;trade; and 240Hz SPS&amp;trade; (scenes per second), and Thin Line&amp;trade; 120Hz models.
