LAS VEGAS, NV, January 5, 2015 – AmTRAN Video Corp., a leader in HD and Ultra HD TV design and manufacturing, continues to expand screen size offerings in its extremely popular JVC Emerald Series HDTVs, by adding the new EM43RF5. Uniting JVC’s distinctive slim-bezel design with super-hot HDTV and Roku® Streaming Stick™ capabilities offering 2000+ channels, the EM43RF5 is ideal for smaller rooms and living spaces. It sacrifices nothing, however, in terms of signature JVC picture brilliance and XinemaSound® audio quality.

Additionally, the introduction of the new 40” EM40NF5 [SRP: $379.99] HDTV brings yet another dimension of compact utility and value, while retaining the lush HDTV viewing experience that consumers now expect.

The new EM43RF5 [SRP: $499.99] takes full advantage of JVC’s breakthroughs in picture technology, centering on CrystalColor. An innovation that has received glowing professional reviews and overwhelming consumer approval, CrystalColor Technology has become virtually synonymous with the highest quality HDTV experience.

The EM43RF5 and EM40NF5 are specifically designed to bring dazzling HDTV, streaming video and pristine audio to smaller spaces like bedrooms and home offices. This has been achieved without compromising on experience, as everything from the hottest games to Blu-ray and streaming HD content come through just as they would on much larger screens. The luminous brights, interstellar blacks and intense picture detail of the EM43RF5 and EM40NF5 also owe to their unique Direct LED (DLED) backlight array.

“From metropolitan apartments to spare bedrooms in suburban homes, consumers want to bring HDTV into spaces other than traditional living rooms,” said Drew Pragliola, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at AmTRAN Video Corp. “The EM43RF5 and EM40NF5 together represent an engineering triumph, ideally balancing this desire with functionality and an immersive HDTV experience.”

With “second screen” engagement now a habit of millions of viewers, Smartphone and tablet interactivity is a must. Both the EM43RF5 and EM40NF5 offer Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) functionality, allowing easy display and control of content using handheld devices. In this way, streaming content can be selected on a portable and transferred to the TV effortlessly, for a seamless entertainment experience. In addition, the EM43RF5 goes further with the inclusion of a free Roku® Streaming Stick™ (Roku Ready® Version), which instantly unlocks a new universe of streaming content, with over 2000+ channels to choose from.

Desirable control and connectivity features round out the two models, such as: adjustable picture modes; digital cable-ready Clear QAM tuners; configurable port¬-naming capability; and CEC interoperability. Each model boasts multiple digital inputs and outputs including HDMI ports; component and composite video inputs; USB and music ports; as well as Audio Only mode.
