Highlights
HDTV Monitor
HDTV is the latest and best television signal
available. It produces 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
3:2 Pulldown
3:2 Pulldown totally eliminates the unwanted
artefacts that distort your picture viewing
when watching movies. With these artefacts
gone, you will enjoy the movie the way it is
meant to be.
3D Combfilter
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and
color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate
cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl
distortion - all of which detract from your
viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter
performs field-by-field comparisons of the
television image to accurately separate the
color from the black-and-white information
and remove both horizontally and vertically
hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is
a razor sharp image.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way
of optimizing picture quality by measuring and
analyzing the incoming signal to automatically
adjust picture quality settings. Active Control
with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the
picture brightness depending on the room light
conditions.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing
technology for enhancing surround sound
effects. It will create the sensation of Dolby
Pro Logic without the necessity of additional
27PT8420/37
rear speakers. You become totally immersed
in your television experience.
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.
Component Video Input (YPbPr)
Component Video is the highest quality
interconnection standard for analog video. It is
sharper than S-video and composite video.
