Video 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 1080p (1920 x 1080). The television's HDMI and component video
inputs will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals.
4 HDMI Inputs: The four HDMI inputs (3 rear/1 side) can be used to connect a DVD
player, Game console, HDTV or Satellite Set-top box with an HDMI output. The
HDMI 1 input can also be used to connect a device with a DVI output (a
DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable is necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used,
separate audio cables will also be needed from the device to the "DVI In" RCA
stereo audio jacks. No audio cables are needed for an HDMI-equipped device. The
HDMI input can also be used to connect a PC to this TV. The HDMI jack will
accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.
2 Component Video Inputs: The two rear-panel Component Video jacks will accept 1080p,
1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. One of the component video inputs can also
be used as a composite video input.
Contrast Ratio: This TV has an 80,000:1 dynamic contrast
ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and
detail from both PC and TV images.
4ms 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. The television's very fast 4ms response time virtually eliminates any
blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes
Auto Motion Plus 120Hz: Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology
virtually eliminates any motion blur and creates smooth transitions between
frames. Auto Motion Plus calculates the image between frames and inserts it,
creating a non-repetitive transition from one to the next. The result is a
clearer picture than ever before. You can select from 5 Auto Motion Plus 120Hz
settings
- Clear: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to minimum.
- Standard: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to medium.
- Smooth: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to maximum.
- Custom: Adjusts the blur and judder reduction level to suit your
personal preference.
- Off: Switches Auto Motion Plus 120Hz off.
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:

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.
-
4:3: Sets the
picture to 4:3 normal mode with pillars on the left and right of the screen.

Blue Only Mode: This function displays the blue signal only
by removing the red and green signals from the video signal so as to provide a
Blue Filter effect that is used to adjust the Color and Tint of video equipment
such as DVD players and Home Theaters. Using this function, you can adjust the
Color and Tint to preferred values appropriated to the signal level of each
video device using the Red/Green/Blue/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow Color Bar Patterns,
without using a additional Blue Filter.
