MAKATI CITY, Philippines--After several months of keeping quiet, a Filipino company that showcased a homegrown all-in-one widescreen TV is ready to show the next iteration of its creation.

Inovent has scheduled a closed-door preview of a second prototype of the Ilumina TV for select public and media and electronics engineers from different universities on June 12.

Inovent Chief “Inoventor” Brian Quebengco said the preview would give the company an idea of possible audience reception to the Ilumina.

He also hopes to get some feedback from the engineers who will attend the preview.

“We’re already expecting negative criticisms but that’s the whole idea because we want this to be a better product when it comes out,” Quebengco said.

The “alpha prototype” version of the Ilumina, unveiled in December last year, featured a 32-inch LCD integrated with a small-form factor computer motherboard that allowed it to work as a computer.

It had a webcam that can connect to the Internet via cable or WiFi and it runs on Ubuntu operating system.

Quebengco said the newer version would have additional features, particularly an enhanced graphical user interface, new applications and a new TV receiver.

The executive said that since they announced the Ilumina in 2008, they have been in talks with several local companies for parts and assembly.

He said they have been in discussions with Intel’s office in Singapore to provide them with some components that would power their creation.
