Pixel Plus

Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing technology 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 resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of se nd ing a field comp ri sing the odd lin es to the screen f ir st, 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.

3D Combfilter

The 3D comb filter separates brightness and colour signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-colour, 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 colour from the blackand-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is a razor sharp image.

Built-in TV tuner

Some applications have the need for more than PC inputs. The RF tuner for television signal reception and the video connectors like s-video, scart and component video, offer a wide choice of input possibilities for multiple devices.

Advanced anti burn-in function

A protective function called "pixel shift" has been implemented. When the protection mechanism is activated the screen image automatically shifts its pixel positions to prevent "image ghosting". Secondly, burn-in recovery has been implemented. Depending on the mo del , gh ost ima ges are rem oved by applying a full white signal on the whole panel for a certain amount of time or by reversing the image to achieve the same result.

Kensington lock compatible

Small apertures built into the display's frame for use with a locking device that secures a display to a fixed object for added protection against theft.

DVI-I input

A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed highbandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analog, it delivers an unblemished and noisefree image, that is clear and flickerfree. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programs from Digital Settop boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analog PC-VGA signals.
