Photismos© Projection Panels introduce 22nd Century goddesses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Enabling technology creates rich viewing experience for gamers of all ages. No more darkened rooms. No more grainy, hazy images. No more tiny TV screens. No obsolescence. No burn in.

Buffalo Grove, IL - Jan. 30, 2005 - XTREME CYBER MANIA from Starr Group, Ltd. introduces a vertical offering of 40" diagonal to customized 150" diagonal front and rear projection units complete with complementary projector and customized cooling systems to extend the life of the bulbs. These packages units are plug and play compatible; simply attach a console game box or hot-rod PC and enjoy the ultimate Cyber game experience.

Existing display devices including TVs, CRTs and Plasmas provide a less than fulfilling experience due to burn in and ghosting of images when games are placed in pause mode. The Photismos® Projection Unit 22nd Century goddesses project the original source input device directly to the screen without distortion. Simply configure the HDTV setting (480p, 720p, 1080i) on the game console and that signal is directly passed through to the acrylic projection panel.

Of particular note is the goddess Voluptas comprising the 40-inch diagonal 3-D floating display. This rear projection unit includes a 1500 lumen-DLP-SVGA projector with HDTV quality. While less than ¼ in thickness, the unit provides an optical illusion where the screen image appears to be floating in air. A 2-D picture looks 3-D in brilliant backlighting. Even in direct sunlight, the image is clearly visible. "There is no other technology that provides this vivid and rich viewing experience." said Allan M. Olbur, VP. "The gamer industry is currently estimated at annual revenue in excess of $10 Billion turnover and is projected to grow to $35 Billion in the next couple of years. Just look at the consumer demand for Halo2 at its introduction last November. Microsoft and Sony are hoping to introduce their next generation of console game boxes. Our projection unit systems are ready to accommodate their next generation systems."

Starter level packages include a projector and acrylic projection unit. Packages are available in a number of sizes. The goddess Hora provides a 50-inch diagonal front projection unit and the goddess Perfica is equipped with a 60-inch diagonal rear projection unit. Larger sizes include the goddess Libertia at 60-inch diagonal front, the goddess Copia at 80-inch diagonal front, the goddess Nerio at 80-inch rear, the goddess Daphne at 80-inch diagonal rear and the goddess Pertunda at a full 100-inch diagonal rear projection.
