ghosting caused from off-air pick-up
when watching cable channels. Digitally-
controlled frequency synthesis tuning
system “locks on” to cable and standard
signals with unsurpassed accuracy.
• Dynamic BlackStretch Circuitry
Extends black levels in bright scenes to
enhance contrast and detail.
• High Performance Scan Velocity
Modulation (SVM)
Improved SVM circuitry automatically
varies the scanning speed of the picture
tube’s electron beam to improve
sharpness and detail, especially in
high-contrast areas.
• High Performance
