Olympus Releases 52-Inch Screen TV That Wears Like A Pair Of Sunglasses
Olympus Follows Up On The Successful Holiday Launch Of The Eye-Trek FMD-150W With A More Affordable Model
Olympus America proudly announces a recent addition to its family, the Eye-Trek FMD-200. Itís a Big Screen TV for the face! Itís 3.0 ounces, has 180,000 pixels and turns any NTSC television signal into a 52-inch big screen image. This portable, easy-to-wear, personal TV display is compatible with VCRs, Camcorders, DVD, TV and LD players. Eye-Trek FMD-200, the younger brother of the original Eye-Trek FMD-150W, takes a standard NTSC television signal and makes it as impressive as a 52-inch big screen seen from a distance of 6-1/2 feet. This sleek design is compact, lightweight and as comfortable as a pair of favorite sunglasses. The portable Eye-Trek FMD-200 can go just about anywhere its owner pleases. Frequent travelers, commuters, video-philes and movie buffs alike will find the Olympus Eye-Trek appealing. The original Eye-Trek FMD-150Wís success over the past holiday season has paved the way for the early spring introduction of the more affordable model. In Japan, the Eye-Trek has achieved over 70 percent market share since its June 1998 launch. Eye-Trekís success is in part attributed to the unparalleled brightness of the image made possible by the Eye-Trekís proprietary free-shaped prism. The prism also enables Eye-Trek to deliver sharp, crisp images both indoors and out. The Eye-Trek FMD-200 offers the same Olympus experience in a more affordable model. Eye Trekís ""see-around"" design permits wearers to maintain peripheral vision while totally submerged in a potent audio-visual experience. The innovative design also allows wearers to use Eye-Trek privately and without disturbing others. Additional features include: stereo, bass boost, a safety-security password and image controls to adjust color, contrast, tint, brightness and sharpness. Both Eye-Treks are available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $599 for the FMD-200 and $899 for the Eye-Trek FMD-150W.
