Thanks in large part to a successful brand-recognition marketing initiative, Vizio in the fourth quarter became the second-best-selling flat-panel TV set maker in the country, according to iSuppli. Vizio, with 14.3% market share, overtook Sony, but remains behind market leader Samsung, which enjoys a 20.2% piece of the business. Reuters (2/19) , Dealerscope (2/20) , TWICE (2/19)

Vizio has announced that it will get out of the plasma-TV business, concentrating instead on bringing new innovations to market with its line of LCD models, according to Laynie Newsome, who co-founded the company five years ago. The company’s departure leaves LG, Samsung and Panasonic as the only large-scale makers of plasma-TV screens being offered in the U.S. The New York Times (2/11)
LG has introduced the XCanvas, an LCD TV with a four-step energy-conservation system. The line — available in 47-, 42- and 32-inch models — aims to reduce power by 70% with options for minimum sleep, intermediate sleep, hibernate and screen off. Pocket-lint.co.uk (2/11)
