Dealerscope reports that TV and blu-ray player manufacturer Vizio had strong sales during the Black Friday shopping period. Sales for Vizio jumped 40% as it sold 280,000 HDTVs.
The company announced that of the 280,000 TVs sold, 20,000 were 50" and larger- a tenfold increase. Vizio also sold 7,000 high-definition sound bars.
"We consistently strive to offer consumers more and are pleased to see the great success of our high performance products which allow us to continue to grow and expand VIZIO products to a wider range of consumers seeking the latest technology at a great value," the company's co-founder, Laynie Newsome, said as part of the announcement.
Those are very strong sales during a weak economy. Dealerscope says Vizio ran specials through Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart and Target.
