Features
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive
and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
Native Resolution: The LCD television displays all inputs at
a resolution of 720p (1366 x 768). The television's HDMI and component video
inputs will accept 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. The component video
inputs will also accept 480i video signals.
6ms Response Time: One of the most important features for an
LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time
it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive,
(ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response
time. A television's very fast 6ms response time virtually eliminates any
blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes
Contrast Ratio: This TV has an 6,000:1 dynamic contrast
ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and
detail from both PC and TV images.
Screen Sizes: You can choose
one of the following picture sizes:
-
16:9:
sets the picture to 16:9 wide mode
-
Zoom 1:
vertically enlarges the size of the picture and allows you to move the
enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote
-
Zoom 2:
vertically enlarges the size of the picture more than Zoom 1 and allows you
to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote
-
Wide Fit:
proportionally enlarges the picture to fit the entire screen without
changing the aspect ratio
-

Film Mode: The TV can be set to automatically sense and

quality.
Digital Noise Reduction: If the broadcast signal received by
your TV is weak, you can activate the Digital Noise Reduction feature to help
reduce any static and ghosting that may appear on the screen. You can select
Low, Medium, High, Auto, or Off.
Auto Volume: Auto volume
automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound
output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the
modulation signal is low. This reduces the difference in volume when changing
channels.
