Zenith D60WLCD 60" LCD Projection HDTV-Ready TV

If you're after a big, bright, rear-projection LCD HDTV monitor, Zenith's 60-inch D60WLCD is optimized for widescreen (16:9 aspect-ratio) high-definition images. Being no deeper than most 19-inch CRT sets, the D60WLCD is ideal for home theaters and anywhere where space is a concern. The set features integrated dual NTSC tuners and extensive connection panels and accepts HDTV, SD, and NTSC video sources from external devices. Three internal LCD panels, augmented by a nine-element lens system, delivers superb 1280 x 720p resolution, enhanced by aspect-ratio correction, an advanced 3D Y/C comb filter that digitally controls and separates color (chroma) and picture (luminance) information, a peak brightness of 680 candles/square meter, a contrast ratio of 200:1, generous 100 x 30-degree viewing angles, and the convenience of picture-in-picture, picture-outside-picture, and split-screen capabilities. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; the D60WLCD's 3:2 pulldown detection digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Audio features include Zenith's EZ Sound dynamic bass and two built-in 15-watt speakers, while its connection panel accommodates all popular video formats. Front-panel video input jacks let you hook up a camcorder or gaming console, while a 15-pin RGB input handles a digital set-top box. Projection LCD sets are free from two concerns that plague traditional projection sets: phosphor burn-in, which can imprint "ghost" images on the screen when it holds a static image too long, and convergence errors (discrepancies in beam alignment), which require a service technician to come to your home and realign the projection picture tubes. LCD projection televisions don't require alignment, so you don't have to plan for this kind of service.
