Vizio today announced several “last minute holiday bargains” on 4K TVs and soundbars, including one that supports Dolby Atmos.

Most of the markdowns are in the ho-hum 9.5% to 13% range, except for three...

At the top of Vizio’s discount heap is the Dolby Atmos-enabled SB36512-F soundbar system, which supports a 5.1.2-channel configuration with two standalone rear-surround speakers, a pair of up-firing drivers in the soundbar that reflect sound off the ceiling, and a wireless subwoofer. The price at Costco and Sam’s Club will be reduced to $300 on December 15 only for a savings of 40% of its $500 list price.

The next best deal is on the 5.1-channel SB3651-E 5.1 soundbar system featuring a wireless subwoofer and two rear-surround satellite speakers with support for Chromecast, Bluetooth streaming, and Vizio’s SmartCast platform. Between December 16 and 29, the system is selling for $220 at Best Buy, Costco, and Target — a lackluster 12% off its $250 list price — but on December 17, the Costco price drops to $180 through the end of the year for a nice 28% savings.

Vizio’s best TV deal is on its 70-inch E70-F 4K smart TV, which Target will offer for $780 December 16 through December 26 — a not-too-shabby 25% discount off its $1,050 list price. The set features full-array LED backlighting with 12 local dimming zones and supports three high-dynamic range (HDR) formats: Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG.
