Nomination Title: VIZIO

Founded and headquartered in Orange County, California, VIZIO’s mission is to deliver immersive entertainment and compelling lifestyle enhancements that make our products the center of the connected home. VIZIO is driving the future of televisions through its integrated platform of cutting-edge Smart TVs and powerful SmartCast operating system. VIZIO also offers a portfolio of innovative sound bars that deliver consumers an elevated audio experience. VIZIO’s platform gives content providers more ways to distribute their content and advertisers more tools to target and dynamically serve ads to a growing audience that is increasingly transitioning away from linear TV. VIZIO product leadership is consistently highlighted by industry reviews and awards, including several CES 2020 accolades.

Since 2019, VIZIO has cemented its place as America’s leading TV brand, offering high quality performance at a great value. VIZIO products are known for having best in class Quantum performance, including award-winning Quantum Color, pristine processing abilities, and intuitive SmartCast capabilities. In 2020, VIZIO introduced an impressive collection of new Smart TVs and sound bars, which resulted in several CES 2020 accolades. This milestone launch included VIZIO’s first-ever OLED TV, the 2021 P-Series Quantum lineup, 2021 M-Series Quantum lineup, and 2021 V-Series Smart Lineup. VIZIO also launched a new line of sound bars, including the V-Series 2.1, V-Series 5.1, M-Series All-in-One 2.1, and Elevate sound bars. VIZIO’s highly awarded product at CES 2020 and feature packed, the Elevate supports Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® audio with revolutionary, first-of-its kind Adaptive Height Speakers. The Elevate Sound Bar also won a Red Dot award for Outstanding Design Quality.

VIZIO also launched an exciting partnership with Square Enix & Crystal Dynamics in 2020 as the official HDTV and sound bar partner for the highly anticipated Marvel’s Avengers video game.

Finally, VIZIO also received a 2019 Sustainable Materials Management Gold Tier distinction from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

VIZO is an American brand that is successfully disrupting an industry that has a long history of dominance from foreign corporations. Its American roots are advantageous for both the company and consumer, as VIZIO products include all the high-quality bells and whistles that consumers expect without a negative impact on the price tag. The quality of product is remarkable for the price point – a value that Americans appreciate and are attracted to.

In addition to its portfolio of award-winning Smart TVs, VIZIO is a leader in the sound bar in the United States. VIZIO’s innovative and affordable sound bars are also award-winning; take, for example, the Elevate sound bar, which launched in 2020. Within just a few months, the Elevate sound bar had won a Red Dot Award for design and favorable reviews from a swath of tech reviewers and consumers.

As VIZIO looks to the future, the growth of the last several years will serve as a new benchmark for innovation and service. VIZIO’s commitment to providing customers with the best product at a great value will drive the company forward in 2021 and beyond.
