Picture
The RCA brand has always offered innovative technologies to enhance your home entertainment experience. The RCA Digital High-Resolution
Digital Monitor lives up to this commitment by offering outstanding picture performance and multiple connectivity options. This is the
perfect vehicle to help you make the transition into the world of HDTV. The RCA Digital High-Resolution Monitor can display 1080 i(interlaced)
television signals when you combine this television with an RCA HD/Digital Receiver.
In addition, with its 40 audio and video inputs the RCA High-Resolution Monitor
has much more to offer outside the world of HDTV. It’s the perfect display for your
computer, VCR, standard TV broadcasts, video games and your DVD player—and
they can all be connected at the same time!
It’s what goes on behind the screen that makes this picture incredible.
The RCA Digital High-Resolution Monitor delivers an incredible picture.
It starts with a Digital Precision Pitch Picture Tube which features a 0.78mm
center screen pitch that delivers crisp focus and incredible color. An INVAR shadow
mask is combined with 65 watts of concentrated picture power to deliver a bright
and sharp picture.
The RCA Digital High-Resolution Monitor is a true SVGA 800x600 pixel
progressive scan, (multiscan/multisync) display. This gives you professional
quality monitor capability with a multiscan/multisync system that automatically
detects signals with horizontal scan rates from 15.7 kHz to 37.7 kHz. Connecting
your computer to this SVGA input delivers 480,000 pixels of resolution.
The quality picture delivered to your screen can be precision tuned to your needs
with the Video and Text/Graphics Modes. These deliver the optimum picture
performance whether you are watching an HD movie or surfing the web.

signals with unsurpassed accuracy.
•Automatically maintains natural flesh
tones and color fidelity from channel
to channel and scene to scene.
• Auto Color Balance
Resets individual picture tube guns (Red,
Green, Blue) to maintain consistent overall
picture quality for the life of the tube.
• Adaptive Video Noise Reduction

picture interference by automatically
adjusting to the incoming signal level,
providing a cleaner and more consistent
overall picture.
• 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.
