Ideal for bedrooms, offices, or dorm rooms, Panasonic's compact, 17-inch TC-17LA1 LCD TV brings superb picture quality to places where one could not normally fit a high-resolution TV. At just 2.5 inches deep, the TC-17LA1 is easy to carry and position. Optimized for both television viewing and media playback, the TC-17LA1 has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio and features a slim, lightweight cabinet, a 181-channel NTSC tuner, high brightness, and a 500:1 contrast ratio for exceptional picture clarity. It displays enhanced-definition TV (EDTV) programming in the 480p signal format (ATSC DTV receiver not included) and will also display 480p signals from a progressive-scan DVD player at full resolution. A built-in progressive-scan up converter enhances standard NTSC signals, resulting in remarkably sharp and detailed 480p pictures with no visible scan lines. The unit also features stereo speakers and simulated surround sound. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter digitally separates the color information from the black and white portions of the signal, eliminating dot crawl and so-called hanging dots. For film-based video sources, this model includes Panasonic's Progressive Cinema Scan (3:2 pulldown), which compensates for motion artifacts that sometimes result from the telecine process that converts film's 24 frames per second to an NTSC-friendly 60 fps. You'll enjoy smooth-flowing images with a level of detail approaching that of the original film print. Other enhancements include LCD AI (Artificial Intelligence), which continuously monitors signal conditions to maintain high picture contrast; Active Light Circuitry, which detects the brightness of the input signal and adjusts the backlight accordingly; and Active System Control, which dynamically adjusts the video signal according to image contrast. Together with Active Light Circuitry, this technology adds brilliance to bright scenes and brings more depth to dark ones. + Read more.... |  |
