ProPicture enhancement enfolds three different features. Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) converts standard analog TV signals to digital, compensating for varying signal strengths in the process. Pro Chip Plus Natural Scan Line Doubling converts NTSC signals to 480p, dramatically improving any video source to 480p progressive picture quality. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Three-line comb-filter technology enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

Another picture enhancement is velocity-scan modulation, which improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The set pumps out stereo audio with 10 watts per channel and also includes a 25-watt powered subwoofer in the rear of the cabinet for deep, rich bass. Two sets of HD component-video 1080i/480p/480i jacks foster hookup with a DTV set-top box and a progressive-scan DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. One side and 3 rear audio/video inputs accommodate your other entertainment equipment.
