Vizio emerges from the tanning bed with copper-toned LCDs

Okay, Vizio, we're fine with your jostling upward in the TV product space, but please do it through improving product performance rather than slapping copper-colored bezels on your wares. The "J" in the VOJ320F and VOJ370F model numbers is for "java," and you can guess that the rest of the alphabet soup calls out 32-inch and 37-inch sizes and 1080p resolution (Full HD). You'll also get 2 HDMI inputs on the 32-incher and 3 on the 37-inch model. Who knows, maybe these will play well alongside champage colored gear in Asia, but we'll stick with black for the bezel and keep the copper in our chassis, thanks. But if you think brown is the next black, vote with your wallet to the tune of $649 or $849 for the 32-inch or 37-inch models, respectively.

I do not see this as any different than the cowsumers paying dealerships for the Gold kit where the silly badges are supposed gold plated. Its one thing to see this on an Escalade, but when its dropped onto a Chevy trying to play 'big money' it just illustrates an idiot's point of view.

Of course, maybe Vizio is trying to get into the market where brains is less than money.

Seems no different then Samsungs latest marketing scheme " Touch of Color".

I like the copper. I wouldn't buy a TV based on that over specs and performance, of course, but I have a lot of copper and brass in my living room so if the TV is good, I'd get one.

I agree. As long as the technology is good, which Vizio's is, then what's the problem with some choices in color. Apple certainly has capitalized on it!
