Two screen
sizes will be offered, 58 and 65 inches, with cabinet depths of
10.7 and 11.6 inches, respectively.
The new shallow cabinet is made possible by the development of a
new optical engine, which will be offered in two new HD-ILA
televisions - the 58- inch HD-58S998 and the 65-inch HD-65S998.
Both sets bring a new look to the rear projection TV category.
Both will fit on most stands and furniture designed for flat
panel TVs. In addition, the sets' side heat dissipation design
and side connections allow the sets to be placed flush against
the wall, or hung on the wall for further placement flexibility.
An optional JVC stand designed specifically for use with the new
slim HD-ILA sets will also be available.
The JVC HD-58S998 will be available in January and will retail
for about $3,299.95. The JVC HD-65S998 will be available in
March and will sell for about $4,199.95.
