Vizio was kind enough to host our team for a personal tour of their latest displays, tablets, and much more, many of which received a much-needed facelift to match that all-around bevy of features that most consumers have been clamoring for from many of their (more expensive) rivals. This meant better Smart TV integration, 3D displays, and improvements all-around for many of their most popular displays and media-players. But their biggest announcement came from the PC world, as the nation's leading provider of HDTVs looks to take on the computer market the same way they did for home entertainment.

The brand has wholly adopted passive 3D technology in their latest display refresh, meaning you'll say goodbye to those expensive active-shutter glasses and hello to cheap plastic ones (the same type used in most theaters). The results were indeed impressive, though some of the more technical-minded might take issue with how none of the displays shown were able to produce 'true HD' when playing in 3D mode. Nit-picking aside, this may be the closest we're going to get to having the best 3D experience with glasses for some time.

Also on display were Vizio's CinemaWide (and they do mean wide) 21:9 displays, with sizes ranging from 50" - 71" screens, finally giving true film enthusiasts their beloved aspect-ratio at home with little compromises. As a bonus, they'll also scale-up those 'outdated' 16:9 films to match the wider space nicely.

There were even 2K displays showing off the higher-than-high-definition resolution, but that's par for the course at this year's show. All of the displays shown featured Vizio's connected world of internet apps and channels, and about the only thing they were tight-lipped about was pricing and availability - meaning you may be holding on to those rainy day funds for just a bit longer.

The company also showed off their latest refresh of new Blu-ray, Soundbar, and other media-streaming accessories that helped stretch their internet-connected vision further. Their Google TV-equipped Blu-ray players and VAP430 Stream Player box (shaped to look exactly like the Apple TV) were interesting, especially after last year's back-to-back flops in the market. Not only that, but the interface we played with was WORLDS better, as the Vizio models eschewed complicated pads and keyboards for a slick touchpad model that felt a lot more comfortable and natural to play with. Perhaps there's room for Google TV in this world, after all.

Vizio stunned the tech world a few weeks back by announcing their intention to not only join the ranks of PC manufacturers, but to deliver quality Windows-based computers at prices that would make your draw drop.

The lineup, shown only behind closed doors, were a stylish mix of silver-colored all-in-one desktops and incredibly thin laptops that were more than a little 'inspired' by a certain fruit company, complete with wireless keyboards and touchpad interfaces.

The all-in-one PCs were particularly interesting, as Vizio's design houses the computer's big subwoofer and power supply in a separate piece, offsetting the weight of the display while giving the audio an extra 'oomph' of power. We were able to play with both standard display and touchscreen models, though on both the actual specs of the hardware remained a mystery.

I'm not sure if we'd call their super-thin laptop a true 'Ultrabook' just yet (like the desktop, the specs are unknown), but like their bigger brothers their silver-colored style and emphasis on elegance made them one of the most attractive designs at the show. Both desktops and laptops are expected to tie-in with Vizio's V.I.A. (Vizio Internet Apps) experience, further bridging the media-friendly experience the company began on their current and upcoming HDTV and tablet line-up.

While there's no word on pricing or specs just yet, Vizio reps told us to expect to hear more in the coming months.
