The VP505XVT is Vizio's flagship plasma model introduced in the summer of 2008 and features a native 1080p resolution. Vizio also includes advanced audio and video processing capabilities inside the television itself which removes the need for extra components to maximize the home theater experience. The built-in TruSurround XT audio processing engine decodes 5.1 audio and will output the sound through the television's speakers. With an optional wireless audio kit that adds two rear speakers and a subwoofer the VP505XVT will output the all six channels. On the video side the Silicon Optix REON processor is one of the best video processing chips available to consumers with the VP505XVT as one of the first televisions to include one built in.

The processor can also upscale standard definition images to full 1080p resolution, and has the power to process two signals at once allowing for both picture-in-picture images to be full resolution.
2:2 reverse pulldown - this indicates that the television can display 24p film content from sources such as Blu-Ray players without doing any extra processing reducing the amount of display artifacts.
