Press Release: September 10th, 2003 - Projector People Donates $3,000 LCD TV to Local PBS Auction

Contribution helps meet demand for Flat-Panel TVs and provides support for Silicon Valley public television.

With a slim profile and brilliantly vivid image, flat and elegant LCD TVs are quickly building demand among consumers across the world. Projector People.com®, the leading projector reseller on the web, announced today that it will be donating a new Samsung 24-inch LCD TV (retail value approximately $3,000) to Silicon Valley Public Television station KTEH's Great Auction annual fundraiser.

"We chose an LCD TV as our donation because it is a hot, new technology that is sure to appeal to the KTEH audience," said Kelly Lamison, Vice President of Internet Development at ProjectorPeople.com. "The Samsung 240T is capable of the highest definition image available today, a native HDTV 1080i resolution in true 16:9 format. You can't get better clarity and vibrancy from video than this."

"The Great KTEH TV Auction is a fun and exciting yearly fundraising event that involves and supports the community" says Rob Davis, Auction Marketing Manager for KTEH "It's amazing to see how many members of our community participate in the auction. We have hundreds of volunteers that show up to do their part, generous business' send contributions, local restaurants feed the hungry volunteers... the list goes on! All to support quality PBS programs, it's incredible."

Projector People understands home consumers are looking for bigger and better display technology in their homes. In fact, a recent survey conducted by a leading audiovisual market research firm, TFCinfo Corp, revealed that 85.6 percent of shoppers surveyed stated that were likely to buy a flat-screen TV in the future. Of those who were likely to purchase, more than half stated that they plan to buy within the next six-months. To further support the popularity of LCD TVs, top television makers have begun making more LCD TVs to meet the growing demand. Analysts estimate demand for LCD TVs will hit 31.9 million units in 2007, up from just 1.7 million in 2002.

The Samsung SyncMaster 240T is the world's first 24-inch analog/digital LCD monitor. This beautifully designed HDTV-ready display is the only LCD TV that is capable of displaying true 1080i HDTV signals without any resizing or scaling. Its two tuner picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture allows users to view full-size images from different input sources simultaneously. The 240T offers a 500:1 contrast ratio, 1920 x 1200 resolution, and an Xtrawide™ 170°/170° viewing angle. The 240T delivers direct interface capabilities for VCR, DVD, digital satellite receivers, camcorders or any other video device.

Auction Dates: The Samsung 240T LCD TV will be available for bidding at the 15th Annual Great KTEH TV Auction September 12-20, 2003. Pre-bidding for "super specials" ($2,500 and higher) will begin on the website on Friday, September 12th.
