There aren't many industries more fun to follow then LCDs, not only do they get better and better every year, but they get cheaper and cheaper too. Now the number
one two HDTV producer in the US has a whole new line that ranges from a 22-inch and goes all the way up to 52-inches -- and everything in between. Unlike most of the Vizio line, the Evolution series has a flat black finish and includes a 6-foot HDMI cable and the sought after "Deluxe Size Cleaning Cloth." The 42-inch, 47-inch and 52-inch models have four
HDMI inputs on the back -- the rest of the line has two -- and are 1080p. The 32-inch and 37-inch are 720p, and curiously the 22-inch has a resolution of 1680x1050, which probably makes it a good candidate to pull double duty as a computer display. The prices and availability varies, but the entire line will be available at a warehouse near you in 2008.

Too many TVs!!!!
looks a little like a flat tube CRT TV from the picture. I wonder what the contrast ratios and brightness are. they look good, but can they compete with Samsung in the picture quality field?
The 22" better have black bars on the top and bottom when you watch HDTV, or it'll be stretched horribly wrong.
I need the specs on the 32in, I want one of these really bad.
Website says $1499.99 MSRP for 47". Also, being it is being sold at Costco.
I was going to get the VX32L (been available at Costco for a year or so). But I might grind my teeth and wait for the new 32" coming in a couple of months. With a $699 MSRP, it doesn't seem to be much more than their existing 32" LCD.
