Direct-Lit LED Technology: Direct-Lit LED backlight
technology bridges the gap between lower-cost CCFL (fluorescent) LCD TVs and
newer edge-lit LED-LCD TVs. LG's Direct-Lit LED-LCD televisions feature
LEDs positioned all the way across the LCD panel's back plane (instead of along
the side). Unlike "Full-Array" backlight LED-LCD televisions that also feature
LEDs positioned along the LCD panel's back plane, the Direct-Lit LED technology
uses fewer LEDs and do not offer local dimming. Since there are fewer LEDs, the
LCD panel's back plane must be moved farther away from the screen to provide
adequate light coverage across the LCD panel, making the TV much deeper than an
edge-lit LED-LCD television. Direct-Lit LED backlight technology offers a better
picture and is more energy efficient than previous CCFL (fluorescent) LCD
televisions, though it requires a much larger cabinet design than newer edge-lit
LED-LCD TVs.
Triple XD Engine: The LG LS3400 series LED-LCD TV utilizes
LG's exclusive Triple XD Engine video processing system for optimum picture
quality. The Triple XD Engine delivers a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1
for stunning colors and deep blacks, so the TV's images are crisp, rich, and
vibrant.
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.
720p Resolution: The LG LS3400 series LED-LCD TV has a display
resolution of 1280 x 720. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at
720p. The LG LED-LCD TV features HDMI, Component, and
Composite video inputs.
- HDMI: The two HDMI inputs can be used to connect a DVD player, Blu-ray
player, or Satellite/Cable box with an HDMI output. The HDMI jack
will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video
signals.
- Component Video: The one Component Video input
will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. You can
also use the TV's component video input as a composite video input (480i
only).
Picture Size (Aspect Ratio): You can select a different
aspect ratio depending on input source (analog broadcasting, digital
broadcasting, video input).
- 16:9: Resizes the image ratio to fit 16:9 screen.
- Just Scan: Displays high-quality image without loss.
Only available in DTV, HDMI, or Component (over 720p).
- Set by Program: Depending on the input signal, screen
aspect ratio changes to 4:3 or 16:9.
- 4:3: Resizes the image ratio to fit 4:3 screen.
- Zoom: Resizes the image to fit the screen width. The
top and bottom parts of the image may be cut off.
- Cinema Zoom: Formats an image to the cinemascope ratio
(2.35:1) and zooms in on the ratio.
Picture Wizard II (Picture Control): This feature lets you
adjust the picture quality of the original image. The LG LS3400 series TV's
Picture Wizard II (Easy Picture Calibration) offers self-calibration with
on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level,
color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. This feature takes the guesswork
out of picture adjustments.
Picture Modes: The LG LED-LCD TV provides auto, preset, and
manual adjustment of the television's picture settings.
- Intelligent Sensor: Let the TV do the adjustments for
you. Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting
and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
The LG LED-LCD TV's Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture
to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable
viewing experience. Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of
ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to
evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes
picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness
and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for its surroundings,
more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power
consumption.
- Presets: Easy to use factory presets for picture mode
settings include Standard (provides optimum viewing for general use), Vivid
(maximizes the effect of the video by strengthening the
contrast/brightness/color/sharpness), Cinema (optimizes video for watching
videos), Sport (optimizes video images for dynamic action scenes by
emphasizing colors such as white/green/blue), Game (provides fast response speed for fast gaming system).
- User Adjustment: This mode allows you to adjust the
video quality settings manually. Backlight (adjusts the brightness of the
backlight behind the LED-LCD screen), Contrast (increase or decrease the
gradient of the video signal), Brightness (adjusts the base level of the
signal in the picture) Sharpness (adjusts the level of crispness in the
edges between the light and dark areas of the picture), Color (adjusts
intensity of all colors), Tint (adjusts the balance between red and green
levels), Color Temp (set to warm to enhance hotter colors such as red, or
set to cool to enhance cooler colors such as blue).
- Expert Mode: The LG LED-LCD TV is ISFccc Ready and
contains the detailed standards necessary for professional calibration of
brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and much more to meet
local lighting conditions for both day and nighttime viewing. Settings are
added to preset Expert 1/2 modes for easy access from your LG remote.
Picture Improvement Technology (Advanced Control): Advanced
Control allows you to adjust some of the advanced video features of the LG
LED-LCD TV.
- Dynamic Contrast: Adjusts the contrast to keep it at
the best level according to the brightness of the screen. The picture is
improved by making bright parts brighter and dark parts darker.
- Dynamic Color: Adjusts screen colors so that they look
livelier, richer and clearer. This feature enhances hue, saturation and
luminance so that red, blue and green white look more vivid.

impr0ving the details in an area that has a blurry or unclear picture.

(Red/Green/Blue/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow).
Additional Picture Options: Additional picture options
include:
- Noise Reduction: Reduces screen noise without
compromising video quality.
