LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology rear projection TV (RPTV). It is end-user priced at an extremely affordable $2,799 including free first-year onsite warranty service.

Weighing only 118 lbs., the Olevia 50-inch LCOS TV is packaged in an attractive black cabinet measuring 47.31 inches (W) x 39.3 inches (H) x 19.29 inches (D).Building on the success of its high value, affordably priced Olevia brand of HD-ready LCD TVs, the new Syntax Olevia 50-inch LCOS RPTV incorporates a three-panel subsystem (R,G,B) that allows excellent color reproduction and vivid images with a remarkable 1400 x 1050 pixel resolution. Utilizing a 1080i HDTV format with true 720P images, the Olevia 50-inch LCOS TV consists of liquid crystals on silicon, which act like tiny mirrors, with a highly reflective aluminum coating.
When light passes through the glass panels to the lens, it is either reflected or blocked, thereby modulating the light to produce bright, crisp, clear, stunning images under any room lighting environment. The richly-appointed Olevia LCOS TV features a 1388 x 780 native resolution (1920 x 1200 under DVI and 1280 x 1024 under VGA), 16:9 aspect ratio, a typical 1000:1 contrast ratio, 1,000 Nits brightness with preset and adjustable modes, progressive scanning (YPbPr), 3:2 pull down, a wide 170/170 horizontal viewing angle and 3D digital comb filter for sharp images without a "grid" effect.

In addition to the Olevia's component inputs (YCbCr and YPbPr), it has a VGA port for connecting the TV to a computer for a 50-inch multimedia display ideal for use in corporate boardrooms. The Olevia LCOS TV is energy efficient with its low power consumption, and a 120W lamp gives the consumer approximately 10,000 hours of durable entertainment life.????

plunge and buy an HDTV.

HDTV stands for high definition television.
It contains images that have significantly higher details than normal televisions. Pixels in an HDTV product are usually square, smaller and are placed closer together, which results in higher visual detail.

Although the majority of HDTVs are HD ready and provide the widest viewing angle and the highest contrast, these are available at a higher cost. The HD advanced microdisplays offer a lightweight design and advanced technology without the expense of a flat panel HDTV. They are HD ready and provide a big viewing angle, quality...
