100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution to
the problem of picture flicker which is
particularly noticeable with larger screen
sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area
is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) –
a frequency which is still detectable by the
human eye in the form of a flickering
picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area
is scanned at a rate of 100 times per
second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the
eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a
clearer picture which is more relaxing to
the eye.
Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)
Automatically installs all TV channels in
the same order as offered by your cable
company, provided of course that the data
is transmitted. It also automatically
includes programme number and
programme name.
With ACI, channel installation is fully
automatic, simple and fast.
Child Lock
Feature to prevent unauthorised use of
your TV.
Digital Scan
If you look at a television screen you will
see small imperfections in the picture
caused by line vibration. Digital Scan (an
internal process) removes interline flicker.
When combined with 100 Hz, you will see
a totally stable image.
Easy Link
Digital 'intelligent' ESI bus-system between
TV and VCR (Scart connection required).
Turns source selection and control into a
one-button operation.
