In its annual ranking of the year's best technology products, PC Magazine has named Syntax-Brillian Corporation's (Nasdaq:BRLCD) (Nasdaq:BRLC) Gen II liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS(TM)) 720p HDTV, Product of the Year in the rear-projection HDTV category. The 65-inch diagonal 6501m received 4.5 of a possible five stars in the annual ranking of the year's best technology innovations. In the December 27 issue, now on newsstands, the review states: "With a three-panel LCoS(TM) light engine at its heart, the 6501m has great views from most angles and an outstanding contrast ratio. Though it's far from a plug-and-play TV, it has the potential to be the perfect home theater centerpiece." "We are one of the pioneers and strongest proponents of LCoS(TM) technology for rear-projection HDTV," said Dr. Robert Melcher, Syntax-Brillian Chief Technology Officer. "We began shipping the 720p in February and are extremely pleased with the response of both our distributors and the technology reviewers and industry experts who have had a chance to evaluate its performance relative to other top brands in the RPTV category." In another recent review of the Syntax-Brillian 6501m, Dr. Raymond Soneira, President of DisplayMate Technologies Corp. said, "Brillian produces the very finest 720p HDTVs available at any price and these same HDTVs make outstanding large screen living room computer monitors for surfing the web, digital photography, even fine detail work like spread sheets and word processing. It's the Holy Grail of convergence and we've awarded Brillian a special Five-Star DisplayMate Best Video Hardware Award and Trophy for this impressive achievement." The 6501m HDTV monitor, based on Syntax-Brillian's proprietary Gen II LCoS(TM) microdisplay technology, features a three-megapixel light engine and a contrast ratio of up to 2000:1.
