The RCA brand has always offered innovative technologies to enhance your home entertainment experience. The RCA Digital High-Definition Monitor
lives up to this commitment by offering outstanding picture performance and multiple connectivity options. This is the perfect vehicle to help you
make the transition into the world of HDTV. The RCA Digital High-Definition Monitor can display 1080i (interlaced) television signals (864,000 pixels)

when you combine this television with an RCA DTC100 HD/Digital Receiver. In addition,
with its seven sets of audio and video inputs the RCA High-Definition Monitor has much
more to offer outside the world of HDTV. It’s the perfect display for your computer, VCR,
standard TV broadcasts, video games and your DVD player—and they can all be
connected at the same time!

It’s what goes on behind the screen that makes this picture incredible.

The RCA Digital High-Definition Monitor delivers an incredible picture.

It starts with a Digital Precision Pitch Picture Tube which features a 0.66mm
center screen pitch that delivers crisp focus and incredible color. An INVAR shadow
mask is combined with 65 watts of concentrated picture power to deliver a bright
and sharp picture.

The RCA Digital High-Definition Monitor is a true SYNCROSCAN

™

display. This

gives you professional-quality monitor capability with a SYNCROSCAN

™

system that
automatically detects signals with horizontal scan rates from 15.7 kHz to 37.7 kHz.
Connecting your computer to this SVGA input delivers 480,000 pixels of resolution.

The quality picture delivered to your screen can be precision tuned to your needs
with the Video and Text/Graphics Modes. These deliver the optimum picture
performance whether you are watching an HD movie or surfing the web.
