Highlights
30PW8420/37
HDTV Monitor
HDTV is the latest and best television signal
available
twice that of traditional analog broadcasts. In
order to effectively maximize the HDTV signal,
a television must incorporate advanced signal
input connectivity
3:2 Pulldown
3:2 Pulldown totally eliminates the unwanted
artef
when watching movies. With these artefacts
gone, you will enjoy the movie the way it is
meant to be.
3D Combfilter
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and
c
cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl
distortion - all of which detract from your
viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter
performs field-by-field comparisons of the
television image to accurately separate the
color from the black-and-white information
and remove both horizontally and vertically
. It produces picture quality more than
acts that distort your picture viewing
olor signals better in 3D domain to eliminate
hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is
a razor sharp image.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way
o
f optimizing picture quality by measuring and
analyzing the incoming signal to automatically
adjust picture quality settings. Active Control
with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the
picture brightness depending on the room light
conditions.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing
te
chnology for enhancing surround sound
effects. It will create the sensation of Dolby
Pro Logic without the necessity of additional
rear speakers. You become totally immersed
in your television experience.
Widescreen movie modes
Enhance your viewing experience with
Wides
creen movie modes, which lets you
choose the screen format from various
options. View your movie the way it is meant
to be.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
c
onnection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The nondegraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution
with the source device. The HDMI input is fully
backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection.
Component Video Input (YPbPr)
Component Video is the highest quality
i
nterconnection standard for analog video. It is
sharper than S-video and composite video.
