Hitachi 43FWX20B 43" 16:9 Projection HD-Ready Monitor/TV description
The Hitachi 43FWX20B 43-inch HD-ready monitor/TV offers Hitachi's exclusive Virtual HD circuitry, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 1280-line horizontal resolution, a high-brightness five-element lens system, and a high-contrast 0.52mm fine-pitch screen. Other features include MTS stereo/SAP with DBX, SRS surround sound, a variety of inputs/outputs with 2 wideband component inputs, a 3D Y/C comb filter, and picture-in-picture (PIP). The Virtual HD functionality upconverts conventional NTSC sources to HD specifications and smoothly corrects for motion artifacts that may have been introduced into the original film or video sources. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio as well as a 4:3 mode. In addition to controlling all the functions on the 43FWX20B projection TV, the remote control is designed to operate different types of VCRs, CBL (cable TV) converters, satellite receiver, DVD players, and other audio/video equipment with one touch. It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner; you'll need a separate HTDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. The 43FWX20B incorporates dual-tuner picture-in-picture technology, which allows you to view antenna inputs on both the main picture and subpicture simultaneously, with separate tuning control for each. This set features front A/V and S-VHS input jacks for connecting a game console, VCR, or S-VHS camcorder. The rear features 2 S-video inputs, 2 composite A/V inputs, 2 component-video inputs, 2 RF inputs, 1 audio output, and S-video and A/V monitor outputs. Tech Talk Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience. Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.
