LCD Full HD display 1920x1080p
This display has a resolution that is referred to as Full
HD. With state-of-the-art LCD screen technology it has
the full high-definition widescreen resolution of 1920
x 1080p. This is the highest resolution that HD
broadcast can transmit. It allows the best possible
picture quality from any format of HD input signal. It
produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan
pictures with optimum brightness and superb colors.
This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an
enhanced viewing experience.
Integrated HDTV tuner
A built-in digital tuner receives and decodes ATSC
off-air and unscrambled cable signals directly, so you
can view digital high-definition TV programming
without an additional set-up box.
Dolby Digital
Because Dolby Digital, the world's leading digital
multi-channel audio standards, makes use of the way
the human ear naturally processes sound, you
experience superb quality surround sound audio with
realistic spatial cues.
Dynamic Contrast
Special picture processing technology dynamically
and seamlessly delivers vibrant images in bright
scenes or reproduces a deep blacks and accurate
rendering of darker colors and shades in dark scenes.
You get the ultimate LCD picture: stable and clear
images with enriched color performance and excellent
contrast.
Stereo sound system
A system that receives stereo broadcasts for high
power performance with exciting and lifelike sound
through dual speakers.
Multiple AV inputs plus 1080p
Multiple AV inputs are built-in connectors that
accommodate all major video device signals: CVBS,
S-video, HDMI (480i/p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p).
Component and HDMI can even process the highest
1080p signal from any HD source including Blu-ray
and HD DVD players, delivering maximum lines of
resolution and the best image quality in the HDTV
standard.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers
an unblemished image. The non-degraded 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.
