Digital Cable Ready
The CableCARD is a removable card
distributed by the cable providers that is
inserted in the TV. This enables the “Plug-and-
Play DTV” functionality as agreed between
cable operators and consumer electronics
manufacturers. It allows the decoding of
encrypted or scrambled content delivered
from the cable system. CableCARD
functionality includes conditional access and
copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled
television without a CableCARD inserted
receives high-definition standard TV
broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted,
the television receives high-value high-
definition, cable programming.
HDTV
HDTV delivers exceptional picture quality and
real movie-viewing experience that makes
television more dynamic, truer than anything
you've seen before. It is the latest and best
television signal available. It features picture
quality more than twice that of traditional
analog broadcasts. In order to effectively
maximize the HDTV signal, a television must
incorporate advanced signal input connectivity
and circuitry design.
Pixel Plus 2 HD
Pixel Plus 2 HD offers the unique combination
of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, increased
depth, vivid colors and smooth and natural
motion from standard TV, High Definition
signals and multimedia sources. Each pixel of
the incoming picture is enhanced to better
match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a
more natural picture. Artifacts in compressed
multimedia content are detected and reduced,
ensuring that the picture is clean and razor
sharp. Digital noise reduction ensures that the
picture is perfectly smooth yet razor sharp.
Ambilight 2 channel
Ambilight makes an impressive contribution to
the overall viewing experience by producing
ambient light to complement the colors and
light intensity of the on-screen image. It adds a
new dimension to the viewing experience,
completely immersing you into the content
you are watching. It creates ambiance,
stimulates more relaxed viewing, and improves
perceived picture detail, contrast and color.
Ambilight automatically and independently
adapts its colors according to the changing
content on the screen.
Bypacked motorized swivelstand
The high-quality stand is designed specifically
for this TV, and facilitates easy placement of
your Flat TV without drilling holes in the wall.
Enjoy the finger-tip convenience of finding the
best viewing angle and the magic effect of the
motorized swivel operated by the TV's remote
control. It rotates over a total range of 60
degrees (30 degrees each side), with memory
positions for the central-, and 'previous
position'. Invisible Cable management is
included in the back. This stand is designed to
fit on the matching accessory floorstand.
USB and Memory Card slot
Instantaneously view and share your movies,
photos and music. The Memory Card slot will
accept cards of type Compact Flash I and II,
Memory Stick, SD Card / Mini SD Card, Smart
Media, Micro Drive (up to 2 GB) and Multi
Media Card. Simply plug the memory card into
slot at the side of the TV, and access the
multimedia files stored on the card. The USB
connector allows access to multimedia files of
most USB-sticks and most digital cameras (USB
memory-class device).
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The non-
degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution
with the source device. The HDMI input is fully
backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection.
