At the last ISE in Brussels there was already one Runco LCD on display. I did not take the time to have a real close look but from the short time that I watched it, it looked beautiful!

Runco breaks new ground with the new Crystal Series of flat panel [ta]gLCDs[/tag]. While each display produces the picture quality that each of our products is known for, these LCDs feature integrated stereo speakers that blend perfectly with our stylish industrial design. With the latest liquid crystal imaging and chassis depths all under 5 inches, the Crystal Series is the ideal centerpiece for any contemporary home theater.

For this high-definintion video displays you will have to wait up till April this year, when Runco releases its Crystal Series of LCD Flat Panel displays. With three models lined up, including the CR-26HD, CR-32HD and CR-40HD displays, you can choose the one that best meets your requirements.

All three feature 16:9 widescreen offering 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, and as can be deciphered from the model names, they come in 26″, 32″ and 40″ diagonal. The models are equipped to handle most of today’s video signal sources.

The enhanced ViViX image processing technology, coupled with calibration standards that adhere to the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), video programming is now available at best possible high-definition. The models include 10W x 2 two-way integrated stereo speakers. Another interesting feature is VirtualWide mode - which converts standard 4:3 aspect ratio images to 16:9 without losing image integrity.
