TmScan Digital Rcali W intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances the picture quality and makes you feel as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail - a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown. Precision CRTs Your HDTV monitor features Precision CRTs. These Precision CRTs (cathode ray tubes) produce sharp, high-resolution images, with great detail and better transition between images than regular CRTs. HDTV Component Input (SYNCHROSCAN TM) Auto-adjusting inputs allow a wide array of component equipment to be c'onncx'ted to this HDTV monitor. The SYNCHROSCAN circuits automatically detect and display video in various formats including High Definition (HDTV, 1080i), Enhanced Definition (EDTV, 480p) and standard definition (SDTV, 48@). This helps simplif?: the connection process. V-Chip: Parental Controls Description: You can block programs and/or movie ratings.
