stands on bail here for cnet.com at CES 2013 where we're taking a first look at the vizio xvt series this is an ultra HDTV or 4k TV that is going to be offered in the second half of 2013 it's going to come in three sizes you get a 55 inch a 65 inch or the one we're seeing here which is a 70 inch 4k resolution HD TV it's a new design for vizio with a very thin bezel so it looks probably like one of the best HD TVs we've seen from Vizio so you're paying for looks you're also paying for that video performance they're not downgrading or processing the 4k signal before hits the TV apparently a lot of the 4k TVs we're going to see this year there's going to be some intervening processing before that 4k signal actually reaches the TV screen this one is undiluted and bringing it right to your eyeballs another cool thing is that it has a 4k resolution input so if you're if you're loading up you have a 4k compatible camcorder you can put that content directly on the TV and see it as full resolution uncompressed one of the reasons why this is probably one of the 4k TVs to really pay attention to is because it's coming from Vizio a brand that is really known for their value and really be aggressively pricing their TVs so what we're looking at here might just be the most affordable 4k TV ultra HDTV that we're going to find in 2013 and looking at it right now I can tell you that the picture quality is beautiful the content might not be there yet 4k content this is not quite reaching the mainstream yet what we were looking at is a specially requested video clip from a dreamworks picture that slowed down to the half frame rate so you can really see when you're looking up close here when you're looking up close you can't even pick out the pixels on the TV that the video resolution is that fine so there you go that is the Vizio XV t-series ultra HDTV from CES 2013 on Donald bell
