The XEL-1 is not a high definition TV. It accepts hi-def signals, but it doesn’t display all of that resolution. As a “desktop television”, the XEL-1 comes mounted on a flat tabletop base. The screen floats above it, suspended by a chrome arm on the right side. This design is self contained and the screen can tilt 70 degrees forward or backward. The screen doesn’t rotate on its vertical axis, but it has a nearly 90-degree viewing angle.
