November 8, 2006

HUMAX USA, the “Easy Digital” company, and SANUS Systems, today announced that they will be showcasing a full range of mid-sized wall-mounted LCD TV solutions specifically targeted to DIRECTV customers at the Popular Science “Best of What’s New” event which opens tomorrow at Vanderbilt Hall in New York City’s Grand Central Station. The HUMAX LD2060, which is the only LCD TV with a fully integrated DIRECTV Receiver, will be displayed with a variety of VisionMount products, making them the ideal choice for DIRECTV customers looking to add a high quality LCD TV to any room in the house – without the need for a cumbersome set top box. “The LD2060 and VisionMount line now makes it possible for a DIRECTV subscriber to conveniently add a high quality LCD TV to any room in the house, but without the need for an external satellite receiver,” said Tony Goncalves, HUMAX USA’s vice president of business development and strategic marketing. “These streamlined solutions are the perfect way for DIRECTV customers to upgrade their TVs, or bring DIRECTV services to a new area in the household. When the public, and DIRECTV subscriber base in particular, sees these solutions in their environment, the numerous features and advantages will become immediately apparent.” Intended primarily for second room installations, apartments, and a host of commercial applications, the LD2060 features a bright, 20.1” LCD panel with an extra-wide 160° horizontal viewing angle, state-of-the-art Faroudja DCDi-Cinema® video processing, and a single, DIRECTV Remote Control with pre-programmed TV and receiver functions. The VisionMount line adds a range of tilt, swivel, and extension options to select from and freeing up valuable space. Together they offer a level of convenience and design unlike any other LCD TV, DIRECTV Receiver and mount combination for DIRECTV customers. Some of the solutions on display at the Popular Science event will include: FULL MOTION - HUMAX LD2060 with Integrated DIRECTV® Receiver and SANUS VisionMount VM3 - full 180-degree left to right rotation - 15-degree up and down tilt - 3 to 15 inch smooth wall extension This configuration is ideal for bedrooms, eat-in kitchens, bathrooms, offices, medical practices, and other locations where a viewing position may change from time to time. For example, in the bedroom, a viewer may be seated at a desk, in a reading chair, or in bed. In an office, a viewer may be seated at a desk or at a coffee table, and in a kitchen, the TV can be rotated a full 180 degrees so that it can easily adjust to face either the cooking space or the dining area at any time. In addition, the VisionMount VM2 and VM1 offer the similar swivel, tilt and extension with varying ranges. TILT MOTION - HUMAX LD2060 with Integrated DIRECTV® Receiver and SANUS VisionMount VMF - 15-degree up and down tilt adjustment This configuration is ideal for sunrooms, kitchens, exercise rooms and healthclubs, home offices, and other locations where tilt adjustments will help optimize the viewing angle. For example, a TV mounted in front of a treadmill can be adjusted based on the height of the user, and in a kitchen, the optimal position may be determined whether the cook is standing, seated at a counter stool, or sitting at built in desk, and in a sunroom, a TV positioned higher on a wall can be tilted downwards to face a sofa or seating area. LOW PROFILE – HUMAX LD2060 with Integrated DIRECTV® Receiver and SANUS VisionMount VMFL1 - 0.5” wall extension This configuration is for any situation where a basic wall mount is desired, but is particularly effective for apartments, reception areas, bedrooms and other installations where an out-of-the-way and close-fitting mount is ideal. Because of the LD2060s wide horizontal viewing angle, viewers can enjoy watching TV from virtually any area in the room. “We are excited to leverage the strengths of our companies to provide DIRECTV customers with the ability to enhance, and at the same time simplify, their homes. Now they can enjoy the same plug and play experience that cable users have had for years, with advanced clutter-free and high quality wall mount solutions,” added Goncalves.
