After almost a year, that is since it was first announced at the CES 2011, the M-series is now available for consumers to buy. The M3D HDTVs are edge lit LED LCD panels with passive 3D technology, which they have termed as Theater 3D (similar to LG Cinema 3D). Vizio‘s adoption of the passive 3D tech will allow their customers to buy and wear cheaper, lighter passive 3D glasses, which in practical terms is found to be favored over active 3D glasses by a majority of the consumers. There is a gigantic 65-inch ($2,099) M3D model coming in 2012, but at the moment, there are the 42-inchers ($1,039) and the 55-inchers ($1,649). After taking a look at the price tags, we were pleased that Vizio is hanging on to its low price-high quality promise effectively. Also expect Smart TV features such as hulu plus, Pandora, Netflix etc on the M3D series. You will get four pairs of the passive 3D glasses right out of the box to get you started on your 3D experience as well.
