Vizio will offer a 65″ Polarized 3D TV For $3,700

Here is an excerpt from the High-Def Digest story

The new set from Vizio offers Razor LED backlighting, a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1080p picture, but what’s most interesting is that it does 3D using passive glasses. It’s the first we’ve seen from a major manufacturer and will likely set the pace for similar sets in the future.

The set, which runs $3,699 according to the site, comes with four pairs of polarized glasses and boasts “Theater 3D” but not “Full HD 3D” which almost certainly means you’ll be getting a less than HD picture.

Vizio’s XVT3D650SV also offers built-in Wi-Fi for Vizio Internet Apps and comes with the slick QWERTY remote we’ve come to expect from Vizio.
