Toshiba
The Toshiba 61H70 is a 61-inch projection television that comes with all the trimmings. A picture tube--or cathode ray tube (CRT)--has an electron gun that presents an image by sending the electron beam to the tube's faceplate. The Toshiba 61H70 has three such tubes, in red, green, and blue. They use fine phosphor for high resolution, brightness, and color purity.For fine tuning, use the remote control to adjust nine points on the screen. The result is very good focus and superior picture quality.
With A/V outputs you can send the audio/video signal to a VCR for recording. The fixed audio outputs can also be sent to an A/V receiver, and provide a cleaner signal than variable audio outputs. An extra set of front A/V inputs allows you to connect a camcorder or other portable device.
The Toshiba 61H70 has ColorStream HD component video inputs, the best inputs to use for today's high-resolution digital sources, such as a DVD player or an HDTV set-top box.
The universal remote has been programmed to operate the TV, most VCRs, and cable boxes. Many of the keys are illuminated for easy access when watching TV in a dark room. The remote accesses all TV functions with an icon-based on-screen display. This full-featured system can be operated in English, French, or Spanish. In addition, the remote learns the codes of other remotes.
You can input your 12 favorite channels and easily scan through only those stations. Pressing the return button sends you to the last channel you were viewing. This allows you to easily switch back and forth between two channels. You can label your channels by putting the call letters (e.g. ABC, HBO) on the screen along with the station numbers.
At the touch of a button, a sleep timer allows you to fall asleep and program the TV to turn off in 15-minute intervals for up to three hours.
Any time you press the mute button, closed captioning automatically engages. So, if one viewer needs to answer the telephone, another can still read along.
Now you can watch two channels at once, or find out what's on all your favorite channels. Two built-in tuners allow picture-in-picture without the use of a VCR. In single box mode, you can change the size of the sub-picture, move it to different locations on the screen, or freeze it. Six- and nine-box modes allow continuous channel previewing in multiple sub-pictures along the bottom of the screen. You can also use picture-outside-picture, whereby half the screen is used for the main image, while the other half is used for nine sub-pictures.
The new V-chip lets parents decide which show ratings are appropriate for their children. The TV will block out the audio and video of any program with an inappropriate rating. Parents use a code to override the system.

Panasonic
Get ready for the transition to a high-definition world with Panasonic's CT34WX52 34-inch HDTV-ready set that offers a bright, pinpoint-sharp picture and wide viewing range. The CT34WX52 features a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter, color temperature control, artificial intelligence sound leveling control, and a good range of connection options for DVD players, VCRs, and game consoles.The motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter displays bright colors and action scenes with incredible clarity by minimizing the "color rainbow effect" in closely spaced patterns, compensating for the motion that occurs between fields. Included 10-bit, 60 MHz analog-to-digital image processing boosts conventional grayscale from 256 to 1024, delivering four times as many shades of black and white.
Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. High-quality, 8-bit P-I-P image processing provides 256 levels of gray from black to white in the inset picture for finer image detail.
Progressive Cinema Scan (3:2 pulldown) provides faithful reproduction of film-based materials. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Progressive Cinema Scan digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
This set has a built-in 181-channel tuner, though you'll need an optional HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. It has two 15-watt stereo speakers that can produce virtual surround sound. The artificial intelligence sound Control automatically adjusts the volume level on your TV to prevent wide variations in sound between different TV stations and types of programming.
The CT34WX52 has 4 composite A/V input (1 front), 3 S-video inputs (1 front), 2 component-video inputs, fixed/variable audio output, and a headphone jack. The lighted-disc universal remote can also operate most VCRs, cable boxes, and DVD players. Plus, illuminated buttons make it easy to use in darkened rooms.

RCA's 52-inch-diagonal D52W20 widescreen HDTV monitor gives you a smooth, filmlike image when used with a progressive-scan DVD player (or 480p-output DTV set-top box). This projection set includes the latest connectivity: a DVI input with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which allows transmission of uncompressed digital video signals from an HDTV set-top box (not included) to the D52W20.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. Both of the set's high-definition (1080i/480p) component-video inputs benefit from the Syncroscan system, which automatically performs high-resolution pixel mapping from sources up to SXGA resolution. The resulting screen image has excellent clarity from the highest-resolution sources.
Intellifocus auto digital convergence is a menu-accessible feature that automatically optimizes convergence for the sharpest picture possible. The D52W20's 3D Y/C digital frame comb filter further 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). A dedicated subwoofer output lets you hook up a powered subwoofer (no audio/video receiver required) to beef up the low-end for home-theater thumping. Virtual Dolby simulates surround sound from the set's stereo speakers.

Zenith's flagship 34-inch HDTV set, the C34W23 offers a built-in ATSC tuner so you don't need to purchase a separate tuner in order to receive local high-definition broadcasts. The C34W23 also features 1080i resolution capability, 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio correction, and scan velocity modulation for sharp picture rendering.The C34W23 offers a number of high-definition features that provide amazing picture clarity. The 34-inch flat, fine-pitch picture tube with Invar shadow mask provides the sharpest and clearest picture possible. The 3D Y/C comb filter combines the adaptive digital processing of a 3-line digital comb filter with 3D motion detection to eliminate hanging dots and color noise on stationary images. The Dynamic Focus feature ensures accurate side-to-side focus and alignment of red, green, and blue color beams to the center of the screen.
With the 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio correction function, you can watch Hollywood movies in their original widescreen format (16:9) or in standard TV format (4:3). Other features include a color temperature control--which lets you adjust the ambiance of the screen's picture between warm, mid, and cool presets--built-in 14-watt speakers (7 watts per channel), Dolby Digital sound output, front surround-sound function to simulate 3D sound, trilingual menus (English, French, and Spanish), and MTS/SAP audio broadcast.

- DCDi: A video-mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation De-interlacing. It was designed for video-based material like fast-paced sporting events, and its purpose is to eliminate jagged edges ("jaggies") along diagonal lines caused by interpolation.
- Active lines: Scanning formats are measured in active lines of picture elements or pixels transmitted, both horizontal and vertical. The number of total pixels is calculated by multiplying the amount of vertical lines by the density of horizontal picture elements. For example, the 1920 x 1080 HDTV format has more than 2 million pixels (1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600). Today's NTSC video only has a resolution of 211,200 pixels (480 vertical lines and 440 horizontal pixels).
- Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Today's 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. A 16:9 aspect ratio is widescreen and appears rectangular--it looks more like a movie screen, filling more of the viewer's field of vision to yield a lifelike viewing experience.
- Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines 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, creating a seamless image.
- Frame rate: Also known as picture rate, the frame rate is the speed at which the lines are scanned in order to create a video frame--60, 30, or 24 frames per second.

The CT-30WX52 is loaded with features to make DVD and HDTV viewing as simple and as pristine as possible. The set's 30-inch PureFlat picture tube enhances contrast while reducing glare and reflections. Even better, its widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) is custom-made for movies and high-definition broadcasts, while its HDTV/EDTV display capability (1080i, 480p) lets you view high-definition and enhanced-definition TV programming from an external DTV set-top box with an ATSC receiver (which is not included; an external over-the-air antenna may be required). Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 pulldown) provides faithful reproduction of film-based materials. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Progressive Cinema Scan digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.Two-tuner, split-screen picture-in-picture lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. A motion-adaptive 3D-Y/C digital comb filter displays bright colors and action scenes with incredible clarity by minimizing the "color rainbow effect" in closely spaced patterns, compensating for the motion that occurs between fields. Included 10-bit, 60 MHz analog-to-digital image processing boosts conventional gray scale from 256 to 1,024, to deliver four times as many shades of black and white.
Digital velocity-modulated scanning is advanced circuitry along the neck of the CRT that senses transitions from black to white in the video signal. The black and white portions of the signal are sped up and slowed down, respectively, resulting in sharp black-to-white transitions. For a more filmlike picture when you're watching movies, you may want to selectively turn off this circuitry. Other features include horizontal and vertical edge correction, three rear and one front-panel audio/video inputs, 15 watts per channel stereo sound, fixed/variable audio outputs, Artificial Intelligence Sound Control (prevents variances in sound level), and simulated stereo sound (which works with stereo and monaural programs), and a lighted-disk universal remote control, which can be programmed to control many current video and audio devices.

Samsung
Transform your living room into a luxurious movie theater with Samsung's widescreen, rear-projection HCL4715W. The set's 47-inch viewing area is set in a smart-looking medium-gray cabinet, and the unit is equally compatible with progressive-scan DVD players and DTV set-top boxes. Whether your passion is DVDs, sports, or movies, the HCL4715W delivers outstanding performance and convenience.At the heart of the set, 3 high-resolution 7-inch liquid-cooled CRTs power Samsung's RealFlect video system. The system includes data-grade lenses for optimum picture detail and a first-surface mirror to ensure high brightness and image clarity. Samsung's PerfectFocus auto-convergence system corrects picture focus at the push of a button (9-point manual adjustment is also an option). Flicker-free progressive-scan picture performance eliminates scan lines visible in analog projection sets. Its 30-watt stereo audio system (15 watts per channel x 2) delivers ample sound for any entertainment venue.
The set's widescreen aspect ratio is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players, as well as for the growing availability of broadcast programming from HDTV tuners, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. The HDTV component-video inputs accommodate any add-on HDTV tuners, HD satellite receivers, and HD cable boxes that output 1080i-format component-video (Y, Pb, Pr). NTSC-to-480p line doubling takes interlaced inputs (as those from VCRs and non-progressive-scan DVD players) and converts it to a sharper, clearer progressive-scan.
Further, a 3-line digital comb filter improves the picture quality of all analog video sources by reducing "dot crawl" caused by incorrect color processing (most noticeable near borders and the edges of contrasting areas). Picture-format size adjustment compensates for different video formats by digitally expanding the picture to fill the screen. The "aspect" button on the remote toggles through the set's 5 options: zoom 1, zoom 2, stretch, panorama, and native format.
Dual-tuner picture-in-picture enables convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs. Remote control PIP functions include the mixing a TV source and a video source, and second-screen size and positioning on the TV screen. A universal remote control permits control over the TV, DVD, VCR, and cable box.
