JVC will introduce a few new rear projection TVs for the Japanese market, under the “Big Screen EXE” brand. The 61″ “HD-61MD60″ will cost 787,500 yen, and the 51″ 682,500 yen. They do appear to have some nice specs, such as a 700cd/m2 brightness on the 52 inch. But they’re being marketed based on a low power consumption: 198W, not that we Americans really care. Speaking of Americans, JVC plans to introduce these two sets here in July, as well as add a 70” model.
