VIZIO Kicks Off $1,000,000 Event

Irvine, CA -- February 5, 2009 -- VIZIO, America’s HDTV and Consumer Electronics Company, is pleased with the overwhelming response they received from their Super Bowl ad which asserted that if the audience wasn't watching the Super Bowl on a VIZIO, they had spent way too much. Their “Million Dollar Event” was designed to thank consumers who have made VIZIO a leading flat panel TV brand. Consumer response was so strong that VIZIO has seen visits to their website grow by more than 400%.

"VIZIO HDTVs are more popular and in greater demand than ever," Says Laynie Newsome, VIZIO's Co-Founder, V.P. of Sales & Marketing Communications. "Consumers want to save money without sacrificing quality or technology, which is why we continue to be the fastest growing HDTV Company in the US. Unlike other tier 1 competitors, we at VIZIO are growing, we are profitable, we are hiring, and now we are giving away $1,000,000 in HDTVs because we run an efficient operation. This is a remarkable achievement in a time when our competitors are laying off employees and losing millions of dollars a quarter, we are honored to be in a position to give back to loyal American consumers.”

Entries for the “Million Dollar Event” began Sunday February 1, 2009 and run through August 14, 2009. Consumers are encouraged to enter early at www.vizio.com for the best chance to win. "We are giving away $1,000,000 in our biggest and best-performing HDTV in the XVT series. The VIZIO 55” 1080p LCD flat panel television features a 120Hz refresh rate coupled with VIZIO Smooth Motion(TM) Technology delivering flawless video frame after frame. It is the newest addition to the XVT series delivering high performance with 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 9 total High Definition Inputs, and the latest in audio technology from SRS Labs," Said VIZIO Director of Marketing Jason Maciel.
