Product highlights
New generation LCD Panel
New generation LCD Panel offers superior entertainment
with a wider viewing angle, a faster response time and
natural brilliant colors. Minimal ‘color shift’ i.e. uniform
natural colors when viewed from different angles, is a key
picture performance factor for LCDTVs.
Digital Crystal Clear
A unique package of picture innovations including 3D
Combfilter, Dynamic Contrast, Color Enhancement, and
Luminance Transient Improvement resulting in more
contrast, natural colors and a high level of detail.
HDTV with HDMI
HDMI is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-
digital audio/video interface. HDMI makes direct digital-to-
digital connection possible. It eliminates the digital-to-
analog conversion in order to deliver a completely pixel-
perfect image in the highest possible resolution without any
deterioration. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI
for DTVs and Digital PC. HDMI will display video received
from existing DVI-equipped products.
Full Active Control Plus
Active Control delivers the best picture setting, any time,
any source.The incoming signal is automatically analysed
and key picture settings are adjusted; sharpness, noise
reduction, color and contrast.The ambient light sensor
adjusts the settings according to the viewing conditions in
the room.
Motion adaptive de-interlacing
A smart de-interlacing algorithm which is able to detect
the type of video source such as Still Picture, Motion
Picture or Film and automatically optimize the de-
interlacing process with Spatial,Temporal or Film mode de-
interlacing to deliver razor sharp and stable images at all
time.
Virtual Dolby®Surround
Enjoy enhanced cinema surround sound effect without the
need for rear speakers.
FM Radio
Listen to all your favorite radio channels (40 presets).
Multiple PIP
Multiple Picture-in-Picture modes allows simultaneously
watching 2 video sources either picture-in-picture or side
by side.
