Epoq Announces New LCD and Plasma HDTVs

Epoq added 5 new large format LCD TVs and 4 new Plasma Televisions into its Epoq and value leader, Epoq-Renaissance Series.

These new Epoq models utilize the latest generation IPS, high contrast, brightness and viewing angle LCD substrates or 5th and 6th generation PDP substrates as well as Epoq's image drive engines in a fully integrated TV chassis with European style brushed aluminum cabinets.
