Brillian 6580iFB 65" 1080p HDTV

Brillian launched the 6580iFB six-megapixel 1080p HDTV and Media Server video platform, the third in its family of UltraContrast Gen II LCoS-based HDTVs. The 65-inch diagonal 1080p HDTV/Media Server display provides the highest contrast -- reportedly up to 4000:1.

The Brillian 1080p HDTV light engine uses three two-megapixel UltraContrast Gen II LCoS microdisplays that meet the highest (1920 x 1080) HDTV format. Each of the 1920 x 1080-pixel microdisplays in the three-panel light engine is dedicated to a single color -- red, green, or blue -- resulting in a true six-megapixel projected image. The red, green, and blue light is channeled, integrated, and then projected, reportedly creating a totally rainbow- and artifact-free image. The light engine is solid-state, eliminating the need for motorized color wheels or spinning prisms. The 12-bit grayscale rendering delivers remarkable precision of imaging accuracy. With an exceedingly fast response time of 7ms, even the fastest sequences are projected without blurring or tearing artifacts according to Brillian. Additionally, with its tightly packed 8.1 x 8.1 micron pixels, the 90% fill factor eliminates the "screen door" effect that characterizes plasma, direct-view LCD, and projection LCD TVs.

Brillian's professional-grade video-processing and progressive-scan drive electronics provide support for the full complement of video and Media Center/PC resolutions -- from 480i to 1080p. Advanced motion-adaptive de-interlacing/scaling, 3:2 pull-down detection, and digital noise reduction are provided to ensure that legacy analog content is delivered on screen in a stunning fashion. The high-quality, built-in digital SPDIF-based audio system provides excellent stand-alone performance plus flexible audio connections for professional home-theater or ProAV installations.

A comprehensive set of calibration features (e.g., gamma, color temperature control, RGB gain/offset) are modifiable on a per-input basis with password-protected access. The 6580iFB also has been certified for integration with the leading home automation and corporate A/V control systems.

The Brillian 6580iFB HDTV/Media Center video platform has a flush front industrial design and uses an innovative optical path that minimizes the cabinet's depth. It is 21 inches deep and weighs 122 pounds. Pre-orders are being accepted and product shipments will begin soon. MSRP is $7,999.
