Vizio has announced that it has landed the top spot for US LCD HDTV shipments for Q1 of 2012. The company claims 18.5% market share in the US.

Vizio also claims that it has the nation's most popular 32-inch, 40-inch, and 42-inch sets on the market. The company also landed the top spot in sound bar shipments with 27.5% of market share. Vizio was able to climb to the top of the sales charts thanks in large part to the fact that it sells budget priced TVs.
