LCD Screen Technology:
Liquid Crystal Televisions work by trapping a liquid crystal solution
between two sheets of polarized glass. When an electric current is passed
through the liquid crystals, each crystal either blocks or allows light to pass
through it based on the broadcast information. For clear, crisp color that
rivals traditional CRT displays, a thin film transistor, known as a TFT is
employed. Even in harsh light conditions such as fluorescent light or direct
sunlight, this low reflection coating ensures an optimal contrast ratio for a
crisp, vivid picture. This design also allows the TV to be much lighter and much
more shallow than conventional CRT TVs.
Magnetic Field: Unlike a
standard CRT tube, the LCD does not use an electron beam, so the LCD display is
not susceptible to distortion from a nearby magnet (ex: speaker).
DNIe: Samsung's exclusive DNIe
(Digital Natural Image engine) technology dramatically improves the picture by
enhancing the contrast and detail, while optimizing the color using enhanced
white balance and 3D noise reduction. The
effect of the DNIe can be shown on the screen in the DNIe Demo Mode--the screen
shows the improved image on the left next to the original image on the right. In
the menu, you can select "DNIe On" or "DNIe Off."
Flat Screen: The flat
screen delivers images that are virtually distortion free and helps eliminate
screen glare.
Viewing Angle: This
unit features a 170-degree horizontal/170-degree vertical viewing angle.
Display Resolution: The
LT-P326W has a display resolution of 1280 x 768. The unit will accept 1080i,
720p, 480i and 480p signals, and has a built-in image scaler to handle a variety
of digital and analog audio/video sources.
High Contrast Ratio: The
contrast ratio of this unit is 600:1, which gives you brilliant brightness and
contrast for superior picture and detail from both PC and TV images.
PC-Capable: This unit has a
15-pin D-Sub (RGB)
input that allows you to use it as a high-resolution computer monitor. The TV
can be set to automatically adjust to the video signals received. The Setup menu
allows you to adjust the screen quality and position. No cables
are supplied for connecting the TV to a PC.
Plug & Play: When the TV is
first plugged in, the TV uses automation and simple menus to select the source
(broadcast or cable), set the clock, and map the active channels. Once the
available channels are stored on the TV, you can manually add or delete
channels, and assign names to each channel.
LNA (Low Noise Amplifier): The
TV features a low noise amplifier (LNA) to boost the strength of the incoming
signal. The LNA can be turned on in weak-signal areas, and turned off when
signals are strong.
Fine-Tuning Channels: Once you
have selected a channel, you can use fine tuning to manually adjust the channel
for optimal reception. Once the channel has been tuned for best reception, you
can store the setting in memory.
Input Source Names: You can
assign a name for the component connected to each of the inputs. For example,
the Component 1 input can be named "DVD", the Component 2 input can be named
"Cable STB", the DVI input as "HD STB", etc. When input naming is completed,
you will no longer have to remember which component is connected to each input
when selecting a source to watch.
Dual TV Tuners: The LTN-326W
has dual built-in, 181-channel NTSC standard TV tuners with a single antenna
input.
Picture-In-Picture: The two
tuners eliminate the need for a second video source (such as a VCR) for
picture-in-picture. You can select standard PIP operation (with a small frame
inside the full screen), or one of two split-screen modes. During standard PIP
operation, the PIP frame can be moved to any corner on the screen. In both
modes, you can alternate sound between the main program and the secondary
program. Using the Swap function, you can instantly switch the main program with
the secondary program. Note: In PIP mode, you can view only one of the
following input sources at a time: Component 1, Component 2, HDMI, DVI, and PC.
Screen Sizes: You can select
one of the following screen sizes:
- Wide: sets the picture to
16:9 wide mode
- Panorama: used for the
wide aspect ratio of a panoramic picture
- Zoom 1: expands the
picture with a 4:3 aspect ratio
