Digital Crystal Clear

Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations 

that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to 

optimal contrast, color and sharpness levels. It's like 

watching vivid cinema-like images.

Progressive Scan

Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the 

image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead 

of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen 

first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields 

are written at one time. A full image is created 

instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such 

a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no 

line structure.

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 C 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 which create the 

sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the necessity of 

additional rear speakers. You become totally immersed 

in your television experience.
