Syntax-Brillian says that at CES 2008 it will be exhibiting a diverse range of new Olevia LCD HDTVs featuring the latest in display technology hardware and feature enhancements combining 120Hz Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation (ME/MC) technology with full-HD 1080p resolution, new industrial designs and firmware upgradeability via USB. These new technology demonstration units will be on exhibit from January 7 – 10, 2008 in the Olevia booth #20401, Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall.

At the Olevia booth, visitors can experience the stunning reality of images in motion on the new full-HD 1080p Olevia LCD HDTVs in 42"-type, 47"-type, 52"-type, 55"-type and 65"-type sizes. The state-of-the-art 120Hz ME/MC post processor technology produces crystal-clear motion images by reducing image motion blur.

Other innovative features and 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' library of over 321,000 functions.

The new Olevia product line is comprised of the 2 Series, a 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 theses 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.
