KISS-Branded HDTVs Ready for Crazy Crazy Nights | News & Opinion | PCMag.com

(by Mark Hachman) God may have given you rock and roll, but only Roundtable Concepts has said it will deliver the first KISS-branded TVs.

The LED HDTVs will ship in four sizes ranging from 55 inches to 32 inches. Roundtable is also offering a deal - if a customer buys one of the 55-inch LCD TVs for the retail price of $1,988.88, Roundtable will throw in a 32-inch LCD TV for free.

Roundtable said that only 15,000 of the new TVs will be made. Each will come with a special "diamond finish," includes the official KISS logo, and splash an image of the band on the screen during the eight seconds or so the TV requires to fully power on.

Roundtable did not release data for how many nights and days the new HDTVs could rock and roll for, and then party.

The LED HDTVs are designed and built by Roundtable with a Chinese ODM partner, said Jay Lent, vice president of sales for Roundtable, in an email.

The listed specifications include a display resolution of 1,920-by-1,280, brightness of 450 lumens, static contrast of 5000:1, dynamic contrast of 5,000,000:1, and RCA, components, VGA, and HDMI inputs. All feature edge-lit LED lighting.

The 55-inch model includes 240-Hz technology, plus four HDMI, 2 USB, 1 component video, 1 composite video, 1 PC, and 1 RF connector. It also has a pair of 10-watt speakers.

While Roundtable will sell the 55-inch model for $1,988.88, the company will sell a 46-inch, 120-Hz model for $1,388.88. A 42-inch model is available for $1,188.88, while the 32-inch version costs $818.88.

Roundtable will ship the KISS TVs for free, the company said. The company also includes a line of TVs featuring characters from the Marvel comic books, and has struck a deal for a soon-to-be-released line of LED HDTVs under the Paramount Pictures brand.

Roundtable said it signed the deal with Live Nation, the licensing agent for KISS.
