Kolin 42-inch 1080p set
Although not available in North America at the moment, Kolin is shipping a new 42-inch LCD set to Taiwan, the KLT-4268. It joins the increasing ranks of relatively inexpensive 1080p sets, costing just $59,900 NT, or $1,812 US. Contrast on the screen is a mere 1,500:1, but it does have a brightness of 500cd/m2, and a viewing angle of 176 degrees. Other features include HDMI input and a DVB-T TV tuner, as well as built-in Dolby Digital processing. Competing products in Taiwan come from companies such as Asus, BenQ and Microtek.
