"This new LCD TV platform marks our entry into the flat-panel TV market, so its picture quality and functionality must be extremely compelling. That is why we made the strategic decision to incorporate the industry's leading video processing technologies, Genesis's Faroudja-based algorithms," says Bill Jun, head of DTV business unit, Humax Co. "We believe that these TVs offer a real competitive advantage in the market today."

"We are pleased to be a key supplier to the new line of innovative and compact Humax TV designs that have the added convenience and cost-savings of integrated tuners and receiver technology, as well as the assurance of high-end video quality by sending the digital signal through our Faroudja video processing controller," said Raphael Mehrbians, Genesis Microchip's senior vice president of Product Marketing. "This unique combination gives consumers a sleekly designed TV with picture quality second to none."

Targeted primarily for second room installations, this all-in-one television will allow consumers a single-cable, space-saving installation for receiving DirecTV service. The 20-inch model features a modem and USB port, component video input, two composite video inputs, and an audio and video output.
