Screen
Type What technology is the TV based on? Tube- The most common technology. Today there are several types of picture tubes, among others flat tubes that give a very sharp and flicker free picture. The main disadvantage with tube technology is that most tubes are fairly cumbersome, so these types of TVs generally take up quite a bit of space. Projection-TV - Instead of one picture tube these TVs have three. A red, a blue and a green cathode ray tube. The advantage is that you can easily project to a large surface area without too much loss of quality. A disadvantage is that it is still very expensive to buy. Plasma - Incredibly thin and lightweight, Plasma TVs are capable of being mounted on your wall like a painting. Unfortunately they are still very expensive. LCD - LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Displays. It is a flat panel technology which uses liquid crystals sandwiched between two glass plates. Can be even thinner than plasma screens and has a better viewing angle.	LCD
Screen Size Picture size is measured in inches. An inch is 2.54 cm. The size of the screen is measured diagonally from corner to corner.	55 inches
Picture
1080p24 Support The filter shows whether the TV has the capability to receive a 24p signal. It is not certain the signal gets displayed in a correct way. Film gets shot at a frame rate of 24 images per second. However, the most common TV-systems displays the image at a rate of 50 times a second (50Hz). Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs stores films in its original format, 24 images per second. Some DVD-Players have the capability to send this format thru to the TV and here is where this specification gets important. In order to show that kind of signal properly, the TV needs to be able to display or at least support incoming formats such as a 1080p in 24fps.	Yes
Frequency The scanning frequency. 50 Hz - The picture is updated 50 times per second. 100 Hz - The picture is updated 100 times per second, giving a sharper picture with less obvious "flicker".	100 Hz
Full HD (1920x1080) The TV can receive and display a minimum resolution of 1920x1080, also called 1080p.The expression "Full HD" is not a standard given by any organization, its just an expression set by the market to distinguish the different HD resolutions for different TV models. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter "p" stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered as true or full HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 dots across and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or exactly 2,073,600 pixels.	Yes (1920x1080)
Image Enhancement Engine	N/A
Progressive Scan A television with progressive scanning can generate a picture in a single pass, in a similar way to a computer screen. A standard television uses an interlacing format, alternating lines 50 times a second, creating a full image 25 times a second. Through progressive scanning the television scans all the lines on the television in succession, and does a full screen with all lines 50 times a second, resulting in double the frame rate and higher picture quality.	Yes

Screen Format The picture format of the TV. 4:3 - The standard picture format is 4:3 - which is the relation between the width and height of the TV screen. This is the almost square picture format that has been prevalent in the home since TV was first invented. Widescreen - Otherwise known as 16:9. Just like the standard format it also indicates the relation between the breadth and height of the TV screen. Widescreen is a format more adapted to the human field of vision, and a better format for viewing cinema films.	Widescreen
Supported Picture Formats	480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, 1080i/p
Zoom	Yes
PiP, PaP, PoP Picture in Picture (PiP) is a feature of some television receivers and similar devices. One program (channel) is displayed on the full TV screen at the same time as one or more other programs are displayed in inset windows. Sound is usually from the main program only. Picture in Picture requires two independent tuners or signal sources to supply the large and the small picture. Two-tuner PiP TVs have a second tuner built in, but a single-tuner PiP TV requires an external signal source, which may be an external tuner, VCR, DVD player, or a cable box with composite video outputs. Picture in Picture is often used to watch one program while waiting for another to start, or advertisements to finish.	PiP
Sound
Speakers Type of sound Mono - the sound comes through a single channel, even if the TV has two speakers. Stereo - The sound comes through two channels and creates a more realistic, richer sound experience. Virtual Surround - Thanks to modern techniques you can experience audio effects similar to genuine surround sound through only two speakers. Dolby Surround - One of the most advanced and thrilling sound systems on the market. This is close as you can get to a real cinematic audio experience, with the sound coming from all directions, transferred through multiple channels.	Stereo
Speaker Output Indicates the sound effect. For example, 2x10W means that the model has two sound channels with a power of 10 Watts each. Watt - in short, the measure of the amplifier's power.	2x15 W
Supported Sound Formats	Dolby Digital Plus, SRS Trusurround HD

HD-Ready High Definition TV (HDTV) means that a TV can display high resolution images, at least 720p or 1080i. The "HD-ready" license is outlined by EICTA. To qualify, the TV should meet the following requirements: 1. HD-reception both via analogue input and DVI or HDMI. 2. The DVI or HDMI input (digital inputs) must have support for HDCP. 3. The HD capable inputs must be able to transmit the formats 1280x720 at 50 and 60Hz progressive (720p) and 1920x1080 at 50 and 60Hz interlaced (1080i).	Yes
ATSC Tuner This is the digital equivalent of NTSC. A TV with an inbuilt ATSC tuner can receive digital TV broadcasting in US and Canada.	No
Connections
Component Inputs The three-jack (RCA/Phono) component video connection splits the video signal into three parts (one brightness and two color signals). Component video has increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding. A growing number of TVs include component video jacks to provide the best possible picture quality (better than S-video or composite video) when connected to a compatible DVD player. Special wide-bandwidth component video connections are capable of carrying wider bandwidth video signals, like progressive-scan DVD and High-Definition digital television. All HDTV-ready TVs include at least one set of wide-bandwidth connections for connecting a separate HDTV tuner (or progressive-scan DVD player). A component video connection can carry high bandwidth signals such as 1080i and 720p.	1
Composite Inputs	1
Digital Audio out The number of optical digital audio outputs (Toslink) and coaxial digital audio outputs, respectively. If you have a home theater receiver, check to see which of these two digital audio connections are supported.	Optical
DLNA Certified DLNA stands for the Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA enables the easy sharing of digital media through a wired or wireless network in your home.	Yes
HDCP	Yes (HDMI)
HDMI Input High Definition Media Interface. A type of connection for connecting Digital Video and Audio.	4
HDMI Version HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. By delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel, 192kHz, uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements. With the launch of HDMI version 1.3, HDMI continues to increase its overall functionality to meet the needs of the High-Definition marketplace. HDMI 1.3 will include the following new features: Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth from 165MHz (4.95 gigabits per second) to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future high definition display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color™ and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds. Deep Color™: HDMI 1.3 supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification. Lets HDTVs and other displays go from million of colors to billions of colors. Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. Enables increased contrast ratio Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more. Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 removes all limits on color selection Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately Enables displays with natural, vivid colors New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option. Lip Sync: Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy. New lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI's current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new, lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.	Up to HDMI 1.3
Network Port (Ethernet) Ethernet is a network standard of communication using either coaxial or twisted pair cable. The most widely used for of LAN communication, Ethernet typically runs at 10 megabytes per second, though newer systems use 100 Mbps and even 1 gigabit of transfer.Ethernet has the IEEE standard 802.3. It has several different flavors, with the original Ethernet designed with 10base5. The "10" stands for 10 megabytes per second. Base is the baseband communications it uses. The "5" stands for a maximum distance of 500 meters to communicate with. Original Ethernet used coaxial wiring, while newer versions use twisted-pair cabling. There are several flavors of Ethernet, including 10Base2 (10 Mbps, 200 meters), 10BaseT (10 Mbps, 100 meters, twisted-pair), and 100BaseT (100 Mbps, 100 meter, twisted-pair).	Yes
Phono Output	Yes
Scart Connections A SCART connector is a physical and electrical interconnection between two pieces of audio-visual equipment, such as a television set and a video cassette recorder (VCR). Each device has a female 21-pin connector interface. A cable with a male plug at each end is used to connect the devices. (The 21st pin is actually not a pin but a ground shield contact.) Stereo audio, composite video, and control signals are provided in both directions. RGB video signals are input only. The interface is an industry standard originated by the French company, Peritel. Today, most new television sets and VCRs in the European market and other countries that use the PAL video standard come equipped with a SCART connector. SCART stands for Syndicat francais des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radio et Television. The connector is also known as a Euro-connector.	2
USB Ports (Universal Serial Bus) A widely used hardware interface for attaching peripheral devices. USB ports began to appear on PCs in 1997, and Windows 98 was the first Windows to support it natively. Within a few years, USB became popular for connecting nearly every external peripheral device. Replacing the serial and parallel ports on a PC, at least four USB ports are standard on every computer.Hot SwappableUSB devices can be connected to without turning the computer off, enabling removable devices to be plugged and unplugged as needed. This feature, combined with easy-reach ports on the front of the computer case, gave rise to the ubiquitous USB drive.USB 1.0 and USB 2.0USB has a maximum bandwidth of 12 Mbps for USB 1.0 and 1.1 and 480 Mbps for Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Up to 127 peripheral devices can be attached to the bus, and USB 1.1 devices can plug into USB 2.0 ports. Fast devices can use the full bandwidth, while low-speed ones can use a 1.5 Mbps sub channel.USB HubsA USB hub provides additional ports for the user. Like any other USB device, the hub plugs into a USB port on the computer and provides four or more USB ports for peripherals. The peripherals themselves may also contain hubs. For example, a monitor may have a built-in USB hub in order to provide a convenient desktop location for plugging in other devices.Type A and B, Mini-A and BThe USB ports on computers and hubs have a rectangular Type A socket, and peripheral devices have a cable with a Type A plug. Peripherals that do not have an attached cable have a square Type B socket on the device and a separate cable with a Type A and Type B plug.The Mini-A and Mini-B connectors are used on small portable devices such as PDAs, music players, digital cameras and cell phones. Hubs may use Mini-B instead of Type B for the computer connection.	1
VGA (HD-15) Inputs A connector for a computer cable in which the plug and socket are D-shaped so they only fit together one way. DB connectors are often used for serial ports. DB-9 connectors have 9 pins and are used to connect a mouse.DB-25 connectors have 25 pins and are used to connect a printer. DB-15 has 15 pins and is used as a VGA connection to monitors.	1
