LOS ANGELES–Nov. 21, 2005–Syntax Corporation, one of the fastest growing manufacturers of LCD TVs in North America, today announced that the Shrine Auditorium has installed over 25 of Syntax’s award-winning Olevia LCD TVs as the official flat panel display of the world famous arts and entertainment facility.
The addition of Syntax’s Olevia 32-inch, 37-inch and 42-inch LCD TVs represents a key milestone in the first phase of the overall renovation plans for the Shrine Auditorium. Strategically wall mounted in the main entry lobby, in the three mezzanines, concession areas and the Shrine’s Expo Center, Olevia LCD TVs display entertaining and informational content, scrolling news on upcoming events at the Shrine, plus current event TV feed when available, to all attendees.
“Incorporating the Olevia LCD TVs is the cornerstone of our aggressive program to modernize the Shrine to become a state-of-the-art entertainment center,” stated Duke Collister, General Manager of the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Center. “Our new Olevia LCD TVs provide this beautiful theater with the ‘voice’ to communicate directly with all of our patrons and clients.”
