Highlights

Plasma WXGA Panel, 1024 x 768p
This state-of-the-art plasma screen technology
gi
ves you widescreen HD resolution of up to
1024 x 768p pixels. It produces brilliant flickerfree progressive scan pictures with optimum
brightness and superb colors. This vibrant and
sharp image will provide you with an enhanced
viewing experience.
Digital Cable Ready
The CableCARD is a removable card
dist
ributed by the cable providers that is
inserted in the TV. This enables the “Plug-andPlay DTV” functionality as agreed between
cable operators and consumer electronics
manufacturers. It allows the decoding of
encrypted or scrambled content delivered
from the cable system. CableCARD
functionality includes conditional access and
copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled
television without a CableCARD inserted
receives high-definition standard TV
broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted,
the television receives high-value highdefinition, cable programming.
HDTV
HDTV delivers exceptional picture quality and
real mo
vie-viewing experience that makes
television more dynamic, truer than anything
you've seen before. It is the latest and best
television signal available. It features picture
quality more than twice that of traditional
analog broadcasts. In order to effectively
maximize the HDTV signal, a television must
incorporate advanced signal input connectivity
and circuitry design.
Pixel Plus
Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing
te
chnology that increases the number of lines
and the number of pixels. The result is razor
sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth,
every time from any source.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resoluti
on of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, both
fields are written at one time. A full image is
created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.
Bypacked tabletop stand
A table-top stand with matching design is
pac
ked with the set.
Plug & Play
Plug & Play gives you the ability to install or add
a
new component and have it work without
having to perform any complex installation
procedure or technical analysis.
USB Multimedia Connector
The USB connector allows access to
m
ultimedia jpg, mp3 and alb files of most USBsticks and most digital cameras (USB 1.1
memory-class device). Plug the USB into the
slot at the side of the TV and access your
photos or music files. This makes you easily
viewing and sharing your photos and music.
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.
