100Hz Digital Scan
Conventional TV creates a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the
form of a field flickering picture. 100Hz sets scan 100 times per second, eliminating the field flickering.
Progressive Scan
A picture frame consists of two fields: the field with the odd lines (field A) and the field with the even lines (field B). Instead of sending
field A to the screen first, followed by field B, the fields A and B are written at one time. In one second, a full image is created using the
maximum resolution. At this speed, the human eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
HDTV Monitor
HDTV Display Capability (1080i). HDTV monitors enable you to view high-definition or enhanced-definition TV programming in
the 1080i or 480p signal format. In order to do so, the TV must be connected via its component video or RGB inputs to a set-top
box, which is set to operate in the DTV mode. A DTV signal must be present in your area and the set-top box must be tuned to
the proper channel. An external over-the-air antenna may be required. Another option is HDTV broadcast satellite service. Stunning
realism in both picture and sound are delivered!
Saphlon™ Screen
Saphlon™ Screen technology is built with materials and processes that deliver more brightness and picture contrast. It guards against
most scratches and fingerprints and eliminates the glare associated with a separate protective screen.
Active Control
With over 3,000 picture adjustments per minute, this ‘proactive control system’ continuously analyzes incoming video signal qualities
for Dynamic Noise Reduction and sharpness and then automatically corrects them to be like the settings you previously selected in the
picture menu.
APAC
APAC is designed to minimize the effects of image retention from stationary images on the screen. Because both analog sources (cable
TV and DVD) and digital sources (HD and progressive scan DVD) have different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, etc.), the picture on a
digital television may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom. When black bars are detected in either the 4:3 or 16:9 viewing
mode, APAC automatically shifts the television picture pixel-by-pixel, just enough to soften image retention. APAC works in both the
analog and digital modes, so it provides excellent protection.
