Syntax-Brillian will be exhibiting new Olevia LCD HDTVs featuring 120Hz Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation (ME/MC) technology with full-HD 1080p resolution, new industrial designs and firmware upgradeability via USB.

"The new features and enhancements we are unveiling at CES 2008 represent our continued commitment to offering consumers innovative and quality digital entertainment products," commented James Li, Syntax-Brillian's CEO. "The company's renewed focus on the LCD business is allowing us to be a technology leader in the high growth, LCD HDTV market."

Syntax-Brillian will show new full-HD 1080p Olevia LCD HDTVs in 42", 47", 52", 55", and 65" sizes on the CES 2008 show floor.

Other new products demonstrated at the Olevia booth include a new eight-device universal "learning" remote that enables compatibility with all video sources from a single, convenient control.
New Olevia LCD HDTVs can access the world's largest professionally maintained database of infrared function codes from Universal Electronics Inc.'s library of over 321,000 functions.

The new Olevia product line is comprised of the 2 Series, a competitively-priced true mainstream LCD HDTV, plus the Olevia 6 Series which offers premium quality with the latest features and additional inputs, and the best-in-class Olevia 7 Series. Some Olevia LCD HDTVs also incorporate new features that provide for enhanced user experiences including additional HDMI inputs and two USB ports. Users of these Olevia models will be able to utilize these inputs not only to connect the TV to home entertainment equipment easier, but also to connect USB thumb drives or PCs to their TVs to install firmware upgrades, and use the TV to display photos or play MP3 music files through a home theater audio system.

The technology demonstration units on display in the Olevia booth are expected to comprise the core of new lines of Olevia LCD HDTVs scheduled to debut in the second quarter of 2008.

The new Olevia universal learning remote is expected to accompany select new Olevia(TM) models in January 2008.
