HD is slowly yet surely becoming a standard among consumers, and that's the reason why an increasingly higher number of manufacturers rush to launch HD-capable displays that will meet the requirements of an ever-growing market. And that's exactly the case with the Syntax-Brillian company, which has launched quite an extensive line-up of such devices, under its Olevia and Brillian brands, including the device you're about to see, namely the 65-Inch LCoS Full-HD 1080p HDTV, presented in the second half of 2007.



The TV set has been fitted with Syntax-Brillian's 6-megapixel Brillian UltraContrast LCoS light engine technology, capable of generating a 1920 x 1080p resolution, with some help from the Pixelworks DNX video processing technology. The device also provides a fast 4ms response time, a very poor dynamic contrast ratio of 2000:1, a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, and 90% fill factor to eliminate pixelation.



The LcoS-enabled device also supports 2:2/3:2 pull down and progressive scanning and includes a digital 3D comb filter for enhanced images. Moreover, it provides overscan minimization with Big Picture Technology, and comes packed with the company's FutureProof upgradeable firmware, which allows the user to upgrade the device's features via an USB connection.



As many similar devices available on the market, this TV provides quite a large number of connectivity options, including here 1 ATSC/NTSC combo tuner, 2 HDMI interfaces with HDCP, 2 component inputs, VGA, 2 S-video connectors, 2 composite interfaces, PC Input supporting HDMI, VGA-1920x1080 @ 60 Hz and RF Inputs for standard definition TV, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.



The new Olevia HDTV retails for around 2000 US dollars, which is a very good price to pay for such a huge (not to mention technologically advanced) HD-enabled display.
