JVC HD58S998 Television

The 58-inch HD-58S998 brings a new look to the rear projection TV category. This TV set will easily fit on most stands and furniture designed for flat panel TVs. In addition, the set's unique side heat dissipation design and side connections allow the set to be placed flush against the wall, or even hung on the wall for further placement and décor flexibility. An optional JVC stand designed specifically for use with the slim HD-ILA sets will also be available.

The HD-58S998 uses three native 1080p JVC D-ILA devices, LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology developed by JVC that is renowned for its close pixel spacing, which delivers a bright, high contrast, smooth image. These devices are used in a JVC-developed optical engine that combines a concave mirror with the refracting lens to create a projection angle approximately 138 degrees wider and about 1.5 times greater than previous JVC technology. The wide projection angle reduces the projection distance by about 40 percent, allowing JVC to slim down the set considerably. In addition, compared to other rear projection systems that use a convex mirror, the use of a concave mirror allows the mirror to be positioned lower relative to the optical engine. This results in a shallower cabinet and allows the cabinet area below the screen to be no taller than on other JVC HD-ILA sets.
