Among its more conventional sets, the E3D series has been bringing value priced passive 3D since last year, but it will be joined by the M3D series in a 47- and 55-inch model, the latter of which includes a Bluetooth QWERTY remote. If that's not enough, users can step up to the R3D series which come in the same sizes and have better backlighting.

Vizio VTAB3010 10-inch tablet revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsVIZIOVTAB3010
Vizio has revealed a new tablet at CES 2012, a 10-inch slate with squared-off good looks and the promise of no small amount of power. Details on the Vizio VTAB3010 are still scant, beyond the screen size and the fact that it has WiFi, but we do know that it has front and rear cameras – the latter packing a flash, too.
On the bottom there are two ports, which look to be microUSB and microHDMI, but otherwise the design is clean and clear. No physical controls are visible, though we’re assuming there’ll be at least a power button on either the top or side edges, along with a headphone socket and – most likely – volume controls too.
