Tips & Index

Glossary

100 Hz

100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes.In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture.In 100 Hertz sets,the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz).At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.

Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)

Automatically installs all TV channels in the same order as offered by your cable company, provided of course that the data is transmitted.It also automatically includes programme number and programme name. With ACI,channel installation is fully automatic, simple and fast.

Child lock
