of computer peripheral devices, consumer electronics and broadband
telecommunications products, today announced the launch of its new

in 32- and 37-inch screen sizes, SOYO's Dymond LCD televisions
expand the company's line of LCD display offerings, which also
includes the Dymond series of 17- and 19-inch monitors. The market
for LCD monitors and TVs reached $53 billion in 2004, a 42%
increase from 2003, according to the research firm iSuppli. SOYO's
expansion in this market builds on the company's long and

Dymond LCD TVs offer a variety of input options to deliver
multimedia entertainment, including DVI, D-Sub, Component A/V,
S-Video and Composite A/V, for connecting DVD or VHS players, video
game consoles and computers. Featuring 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i
capabilities, consumers can enjoy viewing HD and standard
broadcast, cable and satellite television programming, as well as
progressive-scan DVDs. The TVs can also be used as a computer
screen, enabling consumers to use normal computer applications with
a superior display. The 16:9 aspect ratio delivers wide-screen
movie theater quality video, and the viewing angles of 176 degrees
horizontal and 176 degrees vertical enable everyone to enjoy a
clear picture from almost any angle. Additional features include
1200:1 contrast ratio and 1366 x 768 resolution for sharp images
and vivid color, and 8ms response time for clear fast-action video.

the growing global market for LCD TV sets and monitors as unit
volumes continue to increase," said Mr. Ming Chok, president and
CEO of SOYO Group, Inc. "Our Dymond LCD TVs offer a combination of
performance and design at a competitive price that is very
appealing to consumers looking to upgrade from their old CRT
(Cathode Ray Tube) TVs to new multifunction models that offer a
variety of entertainment options." The 32-inch Dymond LCD TV weighs
just 48 lbs., and the 37-inch model weights just 59 lbs. Both
models can be wall-mounted to add floor space and update the decor
of any room in the house. The 37-inch model also features a
