    As evidenced by the rash of partnerships entered into by Syntax-Brillian in the past several months, the company is aiming to "undertake a series of strategic initiatives to position [it] for future growth." Looking beyond the corporate speak, you'll find plans to "simplify its network of supplier relationships through which it develops and manufactures its Olevia and Vivitar product lines, streamline its channel partnerships to focus on a more targeted group of customers within Syntax-Brillian's current base of 3,000 retail and online partners, and eliminate positions representing an approximate 20-percent reduction in overhead costs." Unfortunately, we're not told exactly how many employees will be sent packing, but the firm is expecting the workforce reductions to result in "annualized savings of approximately $4 million in operating costs."

    Syntax-Brillian is a brand that many normal consumers have not heard of but they are out to change that. Did you know that they actully hold the trademark term on LCoS? Ultimate AV had the chance to review one of their newest TVs that they are known for. Big LCoS sets. The 6580iFB03 scored overall rather nicely even though being on the high-end of the scale with $8,000 price tag. That price gets the owner the professional calibration we are always telling you that you need though. But most importantly, that high price tag gets you and we quote "the best overall picture of any RPTV I've seen." This HDTV is all about the picture and if you can get past the circa 1994 cabinet, you will have a great high-def experience. This TV isn't for everyone but if that $8,000 price tag doesn't make you blink, check out this review and then find a Syntax-Brillian dealer to see the set in person.[Via HDBlog.net]
