Brillian Debuts LCoS HDTV

Brillian Corporation, a company new to the HDTV market, has announced their new BR6501mFB rear-projection HDTV monitor that uses Liquid-Crystal-On-Silicon (LCoS) technology.

The HDTV monitor is available to Home Theater Dealers/Retailers through Electrograph Systems Inc. and to ProAV Dealers through Starin Marketing. MSRP of the set is $7,999.

The Brillian 6501mFB HDTV monitor is said to offer intensely brilliant and sharp on-screen images. Featuring UltraContrast technology, the next-generation HDTV delivers the highest commercially available on-screen LCOS contrast ratios-up to 2000:1 in a rear-projection HDTV. With its ultra-fine-pitch 16:9 widescreen, 170-degree viewing angle, and three (1280×720) megapixel (720p) light engine, the Brillian HDTV offers true, artifact-free, full-motion video. What’s more, it has integrated RS232 control and has an upgradeable software platform that enables new high-performance features to be added as they are developed for general consumer, home theatre, or commercial ProAV applications. The 122-pound, 21-inch-deep HDTV monitor also features a new backlit, programmable universal remote and is available with an over-the-air ATSC tuner (BR6501iFB model).
