Vizio took home the gold in Brand View’s latest analysis of 4K
TV online selling. Brand View analyzed online performances of
the top five most-listed 4K TV brands in the following sites:
BestBuy.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, Crutchfield.com, and
Frys.com.
In calculating the
scores, Brand View used the following criteria:
Discoverability
*Can shoppers find the products on the digital shelf?
*Do the products return on the first page of results when
searched for by category, or by keywords, such as “4K
television” or “4K TV.”
Representation
*Is the brand name present and correct in product descriptions?
*Is key product information, including descriptions, images and
videos, accurately listed on retailer websites?
Engagement
*Are shoppers engaging with the brand online?
*How do the product reviews and ratings represent the brand?
Although Vizio took top
billing with an overall score of 3.6 stars, it was a tight race,
with LG coming in a close second at 3.3. Brand View determines
its overall rankings using a proprietary weighted method, not an
average
Vizio 3.6
LG 3.3
Samsung 3.0
Sony 2.8
Hisense 2.3
Incidentally Toshiba recently sold its TV and visual
solutions business to Hisense.

TV Types
LG just announced a new TV that has a 55 inch screen, is a bit less than one quarter inch thick (less than the width of a pencil) and weighs about 16 pounds. OLED means Organic Light Emitting Diode. It is the newest technology for TVs. It produces a picture far brighter than anything on the market. OLED emits light as opposed to LCD TVs which reflect light. This means that they are not good for outdoor viewing, but the picture is truly eye-popping good. Watch for much bigger screens with OLED displays in malls and other places.
At the Consumer electronics show (CES), beginning this week, Samsung introduced an LED TV, which is .3 inch thick. LED is newer than many of the current flat screen TVs and is brighter. Think of it as better than LCD, but not as good as OLED.
Am sure there will be many more goodies at the show and I will let you know if there is any wizbang technology ready to hit the street. In the meantime, do not buy a new tablet, like the iPad until the new models come out, because it always drives the price of the old ones down. That is not always true for TVs, because dealers are already marking down last year's models to make room for the new ones. TVs are not susceptible to new features every few months like other technology and we usually keep them longer than a few years.
Last year I got rid of a 30-year-old TV and it cost me ten dollars to have it recycled. None of the new TVs will last a third of that time, but each new one will be more exciting to watch. Already in the labs is the next generation AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) which claims to be viewable in direct sunlight.
3D TV is still a technology in search of an audience. It will not be ready for prime time until the producers make 3D content, we do not need to wear dorky glasses, and the quality gets better. Watch for sports to be among the first to adopt the technology. I am still waiting for glasses to replace the screen. They are almost ready for prime time and I hope to be first on my block to own a pair.

Skype TV Telephone
Many of you have heard of Skype, the free phone calling service, but did you know Skype free calling is now available on your TV. Of course you have to hook up a camera and microphone to call from the comfort of your couch. It only works on Samsung and Panasonic for now, but LG has announced plans to have it within months and I am sure more will follow by the end of this year.
Sounds like fun, use Skype for a free family conference call and it will seem like you are all in one room, with pictures right on your TV, while you are talking. I can see this becoming a holiday and birthday favorite.
