VIZIO to Get Audio Upgrade from SRS Labs

VIZIO, the low-cost flat-panel HDTV brand that has rapidly become one of the industry's top sellers, announced this morning that it has teamed up with SRS Labs to gain access to SRS' portfolio of audio and surround sounds technologies for VIZIO TV and accessory products. VIZIO's first technology implementation will be SRS TruSurround XT in flat-panel TVs, beginning in Q2 2008 (ed. note: that's now, right?).

VIZIO will initially ship three models with the SRS TruSurround XT, including a 42" LCD, a 47" LCD and a 50" plasma. These HDTVs will be available at Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears and Circuit City sometime this month.
