Television manufacturer Vizio has jumped on the 3D train by announcing that they plan to show their next generation of 3D HDTVs at CEA Line Shows in New York City which starts today.

The new 3D TV’s will be 42, 47″ and 55″ featuring LED backlights, with “Smart Dimming” technology. Localized dimming helps improve the contrast ratio of the display and yields a better image. They will also utilize the new wireless connectivity features to connect to devices such as set top boxes and Blu-ray players. The Refresh rate will be great as well, around 480 HZ.

The Television is set to be released in Q4 of this year. Below is a copy of their press release sent out today.
