Chi Mei 42-inch LCD TV
Taiwan's Chi Mei said today that it will launch its own TVs in the US. While the company long ago began making the LCD panels used by other TV makers, it now intends to sell its own complete sets in the country. The introduction will begin with a 42-inch LCD TV known as the DTL-742E500 (pictured), Chi Mei says. A full 1080p set, the system is equipped with a pair of HDMI inputs as well as VGA for PC-based signals. A 30-watt speaker set is mounted underneath.
Chi Mei is already delivering the screen today to Europe and its home territory for a price of $1,665. The US should see the screen during the Spring for roughly the same price. [via DigiTimes]
