Once again, the high-end AV company is firing on all cylinders in Denver, announcing seven new 1080p LCD / plasma displays including its largest LCD to date, the 70-inch Crystal Series CX-70DHD (pictured). Along with the new panels, the outfit is unveiling its exclusive OPAL (Optical Path Alignment) technology on select models which "delivers extreme glare reduction and enhanced contrast for high ambient light environments." The aforesaid 70-incher (shipping mid-October for $34,995) actually comes bundled with an external DHD video controller / processor, which incorporates Runco's Vivix II tech to "enhance all digital and NTSC content to near high-definition quality." We'll admit, that sounds an <em>awful</em> lot like something Toshiba's <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/04/hands-on-with-toshibas-srt-regza-hdtvs-other-old-crap/">got going on</a> just a few booths over, but make of it what you will. For details on the other half dozen sets, hop on past the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/runco-lets-it-all-hang-out-intros-seven-new-1080p-lcds-plasma/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Runco lets it all hang out, intros seven new 1080p LCDs / plasmas at CEDIA</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/runco-lets-it-all-hang-out-intros-seven-new-1080p-lcds-plasma/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1306057/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/runco-lets-it-all-hang-out-intros-seven-new-1080p-lcds-plasma/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?a=vvt5jv"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadget?i=vvt5jv" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=aNNhl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=aNNhl" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?a=iBwIl"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadget?i=iBwIl" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~4/384540697" height="1" width="1"/>
