ColorBurst™ Wide Color Gamut LCD

By utilizing proprietary image processing and color control algorithms, ColorBurst expands the number of available colors and improves the color accuracy.

This significantly improves both color purity and color saturation.

ClearFrame™ 120Hz Anti-Blur Technology

Doubles the displayed frame rate to 120 Hz (120 frames per second) by utilizing superior Motion Vector Frame Interpolation (MVFI) technology. Incorporating the power of the PixelPure 4G™ processor, MVFI creates new frames and inserts them between the original frames. This advanced system virtually eliminates motion blur without decreasing image brightness, or adding flicker. Images are now crisp and clear regardless of image motion.

Enhanced DynaLight™ Dynamic Back Light Control With 15,000:1 Dynamic Contrast

DynaLight utilizes advanced PixelPure histogram image processing to monitor the brightness level of each video frame, and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. Precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of backlight control. This creates seamless transitions, and a Dynamic contrast that is up to five times that of the original panel contrast. The result is a considerably deeper black level for increased detail and depth. All models include DynaLight to create superior lifelike images, even in low light environments.

Three HDMI™ Digital Inputs (Three Rear, One Side)

Native Mode™

If receiving a 480i (HDMI), 480p (HDMI), 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signal program, Native mode scales the video to display the entire picture within the borders of the screen (i.e. no overscanning). This is especially useful for external HD sources such as HD-DVD, DVHS movies, or PC graphics.

Dynamic Contrast Control

When dynamic contrast is set to Low, Middle, or High, the TV will detect changes in the picture quality that affect the appearance of your contrast settings and then automatically adjust the video.

Provides a more direct video signal to the screen. The reaction time from the game control to the action on the screen is quicker for a better overall gaming experience.

3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter

Filter processes the picture to minimize unwanted artifacts, improving edge detail and smoothness.

Two ColorStream^® HD Component Video Inputs (Y, Pb, Pr)

These inputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent to the TV from a component video equipped progressive scan DVD player. When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity.

Side Audio/Video Inputs

Six TheaterWide^® Modes

You can view 480i, 480p and 1080i format programs in a variety of picture sizes -- Natural, Theater Wide 1, Theater Wide 2, Theater Wide 3, and Full (the Full picture size is not selectable for 1080i format program). Select the picture size that displays the current program the way that looks best to you. In Natural picture size the image is displayed close to its originally formatted proportion. Other Theater Wide modes enlarge the picture to fit the screen.

178-Degree Wide Viewing Angle

CableClear^® DNR+ (By Input)

Improves picture quality by reducing video noise on less than perfect signals.

Auto Aspect Ratio

MPEG DNR (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

Movie and Sports Modes

20W Total Audio Power

10 watts per channel x 2.

StableSound^®

When the signal source is changed, the StableSound feature limits the highest volume level to prevent extreme changes in volume (for example, to prevent the sudden increase in volume that often happens when a TV program switches to a commercial).

Dolby Digital^® Audio Output

Use the single optical output jack to send signature multi-channel audio to an audio/video receiver with a compatible input.

5-Item Multi-Brand Remote Control

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even if they are different brands.

Sleep Timer

You can set the sleep timer to turn the TV off automatically. You can set the SLEEP timer in 15-minute increments, up to two hours.

V-Chip

Some TV programs and movies include signals that classify the content of the program (violence, sex, dialog, language). The V-CHIP control feature in this TV detects the signals and blocks the programs according to your selections.

Channel Browser™

Channel Browser provides a "back" button -- similar to a PC browser back button -- that allows easy access to recently viewed channels. View and scan through up to the last 32 channels (or inputs) watched at the push of a button. Now improved to include thumbnails of the content displayed for that channel or input.

Favorite Browser™

Within the Channel Browser™ previews of you preset Favorite Channels can be viewed via thumbails along the bottom of the screen

Channel Return

The Channel Return feature allows you to switch between two channels without entering an actual channel number each time.

When you select MUTE mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated.

Panel Lock

You can lock the right side panel controls to prevent your settings from being changed accidentally (by children, for example.) When the panel lock is in on, all control buttons on the TV side panel (except Power) do not operate.
