Syntax-Brillian to exit LCoS biz
Have you eye on a Syntax-Brillian LCoS? Well, you might want to jump on it a bit quicker now that they are pulling out of the business to concentrate in the crowded LCD market. Syntax-Brillian not only sells these rear-projection sets, but also manufacturers the LCoS microdisplays and light engines.so we aren't clear on how this will affect the rest of the LCoS market, but the RPTV market is shrinking as fast as the flat-panel market is growing. People want thin before size and we're sure that this won't be the last manufacturer calling it quits on the rear projection market.

Not too long ago EngadgetHD had some news (August 28th)that Olevia was debuting a 65" LCoS RPTV set, model 665H, so why the change in just weeks?
While I not doubting the reporting here at EngadgetHD, I am wondering how stable Syntax-Brillian is and if I would ever recommend this brand of HDTV set/panel to a client.
Syntax-Brillian seems to change its mind - a lot.

Personally, the depth of a new RPTV doesn't bother me. 12-15" is MUCH thinner than the 24" and larger models of the past. I just bought a Sony LCoS RPTV (the A2020) on sale. The sale price and the feature set (not to mention the amazing picture) made my decision easy. I loved the picture on my Mitsubishi RPTV, but it was a MONSTER cabinet :)
