As high-definition is steadily becoming a "must have" for an increasing number of consumers, more and more manufacturers rush to tackle this growing market, launching all sorts of advanced display devices meant to pleasure the eye and blow some serious holes in the purchaser's bank account. And that's exactly the case with the latest offering from Olevia (a Syntax-Brillian brand), which has just announced a 65-Inch LCoS Full-HD 1080p HDTV, which employs advanced display technology at a surprisingly low price.

Thus, the device 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 as well.

The device also provides a fast 4ms response time, a dynamic contrast ratio of 2000:1, a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, and 90% fill factor to eliminate pixelation. Moreover, it offers overscan minimization with Big Picture Technology, and also includes the company's FutureProof upgradeable firmware, which allows the user to upgrade the device's features via a USB connection.

Just like many similar devices available on the market, the device 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 full-HD Olevia 665H continues Syntax-Brillian's tradition of LCoS technology innovation and is an attractive choice for anyone interested in premium performance whether in the mainstream consumer or commercial markets," said Sam Miller, Chief Product Officer for Syntax-Brillian. "In both LCD and LCoS technologies, Olevia HDTVs continue to provide consumers with an increasing array of compelling display choices that combine advanced digital-image processing technologies with engineering excellence to create products that stand out with stunning picture quality, powerful performance and elegant design."

The new Olevia HDTVs will become available in Q4 of 2007 at a MSRP of around 2000 US dollars, quite a deal for such a huge (not to mention advanced) HD-enabled display.
