Graphics have been boosted to Intel HD 5500 and the battery life extended to 13 hours (1920 x 1080 model) or just under 11 hours (2560 x 1440 model). The other specifications – and, importantly, the price – are identical to the 2014 version, at £1,085 ($1,670).
HD Guru claims to have obtained details of a new Vizio TV line called the M Series: an UltraHD model in eight different sizes.

The TVs do not have 3D. 43″ (M43-C1, $600); 50″ (M50-C1, $900); 55″ (M55-C2, $1,000); 60″ (M60-C3, $1,500); 65″ (M65-C1, $1,700); and 70″ (M70-C3, $2,200) models will be launched in the spring. A 75″ (M75-C1, $3,000) unit will be launched in the autumn and the flagship 80″ (M80-C3, $4,000) in June.
