Product highlights
LCD WXGA display, 1366 x 768p
This WXGA display with state-of-the-art LCD screen technology gives you widescreen HD resolution of 1366 x 768p pixels. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colours. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.
HD Ready
Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of a true High
Definition TV signal and be fully prepared for HD sources like HDTV broadcast, Blu-ray DVD or HD-DVD. HD ready is a protected label that offers picture quality beyond that of progressive scan. It conforms to strict standards laid out by EICTA to offer a HD screen that displays the benefits of resolution and picture quality of a
High Definition TV signal. It has a universal connection for both analogue YPbPr and uncompressed Digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p and 1080i signals at 50 and 60Hz.
Digital Crystal Clear
Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to optimal contrast, colour and sharpness levels. It's like watching vivid cinema-like images.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution 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.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of optimizing picture quality by measuring and analysing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing technology for enhancing surround sound effects. It will create the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the necessity of additional rear speakers. You become totally immersed in your television experience.
Bypacked tabletop stand
A table-top stand with matching design is packed with the set.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analogue 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.
