IRVINE, CA, November 18, 2014 – AmTRAN Video Corp., a leader in HDTV design and manufacturing, today announced that the new JVC-TV Diamond Series Ultra HD 85-inch DM85UXR (SRP: $7,999) will ship in January. The 85” screen size is JVC-TV’s largest, and features Ultra High Definition, with roughly 4 times the resolution of a Full HDTV. The 85” screen, which takes optimal advantage of UHD capabilities, will redefine “home theater” expectations. The DM85UXR comes packaged with the immensely popular Roku® Streaming Stick™ (Roku Ready® Version), which instantly unlocks a new universe of streaming content, with over 1,500 channels to choose from. Appropriate for any home or commercial décor, the DM85UXR is crafted with JVC’s signature, aesthetically pleasing slim bezel design.

The Ultra HD (4K) display incorporates direct LED backlight and 10-bit color, an innovation that greatly enhances dynamic contrast, delivering the most precise color reproduction on the market. This is made possible by an unrivaled 64 zones of local dimming, which dynamically adjusts backlighting scene-by-scene to assure the deep blacks and brilliant details of today’s digital content. Even the most devoted HDTV fans are continually astounded by UHD’s 3840 x 2160 resolution and incomparable picture quality. And the DM85UXR has a number of other valuable innovations to maximize the user/viewer experience. These include built-in Wi-Fi for seamless web surfing, and a handy double-sided remote with full QWERTY keypad, enabling much faster text searches than common virtual keypads.

At the heart of the DM85UXR is JVC-TV’s ground-breaking UHD upscaling technology. This innovation bridges the current gap in high-definition content, boosting standard HDTV picture dynamics to closely match true UHD images. This is a major benefit of the DM85UXR, as it allows consumers to continue to enjoy their favorite programs in near-UHD quality, regardless of a program’s native resolution.

Parallel advancements that make UHD even more desirable include JVC-TV’s CrystalMotion Pro technology, delivering 240 scenes per second for crisp, fast motion images with magnificent clarity. This is further enhanced by JVC-TV’s CrystalColor XD and 50 million-to-one dynamic contrast ratio delivering brilliant colors, stunningly sharp images, and lifelike pictures for a mind-boggling viewing experience.

To complete the home theater experience, the DM85UXR features a 60 watt (15 watts X 4) XinemaSound® 3D system. Representing a true evolution in built-in TV speaker audio, XinemaSound® 3D offers a level of acoustic modeling and digital signal processing previously heard only with elaborate outboard speaker arrays.

Popular capabilities like HDMI (4X 2.0 w/ HDCP2.2; 1X 1.4) control round out the robust feature set on the DM85UXR. The unit’s Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) gives consumers control of up to 15 CEC-compatible HDMI devices, including the popular Roku Streaming Stick.

“Many consumers are still learning about the dramatic resolution advances inherent in Ultra HD,” said Drew Pragliola, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at AmTRAN Video Corp. “Seeing is believing. UHD technology was created for much larger screens. The DM85UXR takes maximum advantage of every pixel, and creates a viewing experience that will astound even HDTV purists.”
