****"The US-based company aims to ship 12-14 million LCD TVs worldwide in 2007, said James Li, president and COO of Syntax-Brillian."**** ********************************************************** Olevia LCD TV enters Taiwan market Emily Chuang, DigiTimes.com, Taipei [Saturday 3 March 2007]
US-based Syntax-Brillian today announced the availability of Olevia-brand LCD TVs in Taiwan in sizes ranging from 32 to 47 inches.
Priced from NT$25,900-94,900 (US$786-2,881), the Olevia TVs are targeting the high-end market, the company said. Kolin-Denon Entertainment, a subsidiary of Taiwan Kolin and Nippon Denon, will be in charge of marketing and sales of Olevia TVs in the local market. Kolin manufactures Olevia TVs for Syntax-Brillian.
The Olevia TVs for the Taiwan market feature refresh rate of 120Hz and use panels from LG.Philips LCD, according to Syntax-Brillian.
The US-based display company expects to ship 20,000 LCD TVs locally this year, grabbing 2.5% of the market, Syntax-Brillian estimated.
In Asia, Syntax-Brillian already markets Olevia TVs in China and the maker ranked seventh with a 4.9% share in China in the fourth quarter of 2006, according to Syntax-Brillian, citing DisplaySearch as saying.
The US-based company is now developing 65-inch LCD TVs and will target the US market initially in the third quarter of 2007. The 65-inch LCD TV, using panels from Sharp, will also hit the Taiwan market by year-end, noted Syntax-Brillian.
Kolin said the new competition from Syntax-Brillian will not hurt its own-brand business in Taiwan, as Kolin's TVs will target the commodity market while Olevia-branded TVs are for the high-end home theater market, said Roger C. Kao, vice chairman of Kolin.
Syntax-Brillian may also introduce liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) TVs in Taiwan in the future, added the company.
Olevia's Taiwan office will oversee all operations for Olevia in the Asia-Pacific region including the Olevia brand's current presence in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Philippines, as well as other locations to be developed in the future, the company said.
