SVA introduces Evolution (EV), its first line of LCD monitors with a built in TV tuner. The 17" EV-1703 is a full function 1280 x 1024 SXGA resolution monitor with a 400: 1 contrast ratio and superb 20 ms response time that renders crisp and vibrant video motion and game graphics. Use the monitor's convenient composite and S-video inputs to connect a DVD player or game console.

Flip between TV news and document work at your computer or surf the Web after viewing a TV show--SVA's EV-1703 lets you do both from one stylish TV/monitor. The 17-inch active-matrix, TFT (thin-film-resistor) LCD screen offers razor-sharp images, an internal NTSC tuner for broadcast TV viewing, and a 1,280 x 1,024 native pixel resolution. It's PC and Mac compatible, too. Image quality benefits from a high (400:1) contrast ratio, fast response time (typically 20 ms), and wide (150 x 140 degrees, horizontal/vertical) viewing angles. With 250 cd/m2 brightness, it's not the most luminous TV available, but if your viewing area is not excessively bright, the set's high-contrast images will still look great.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, light weight/easy positioning, and energy efficiency (most LCDs use substantially less power than their CRT equivalents). They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

Choose from two onscreen languages (English and Chinese) and OSD access to settings for positioning, phase, auto adjustment, clock, image center, color, temperature, gamma, backlight control, and popular preset timings. The EV-1703 offers RGB (15-pin D-Sub), composite-video, and S-video inputs, which accommodate a range of computers and home-entertainment equipment. Its stereo speakers pump 3 watts per channel for clear, reasonably full-bodied sound.

Here is a wonderful TV that not only gives you great picture and sound but also modern styling and quality finish. It features Crystal Clear III for natural, vivid images and Virtual Dolby Surround for superb audio.

HDTV is the latest and best television signal available. It produces picture quality more than twice that of traditional analog broadcasts. In order to effectively maximize the HDTV signal, a television must incorporate advanced signal input connectivity

Auto Picture button on the remote control enables one-touch selection of various preset optimized image settings to suit different TV program. Do refer to the DFU for the various Smart Picture modes.

Auto Sound provides pre-defined sound settings for ultra bass, bass, treble and balance for the optimum entertainment experience.

Crystal Clear III combines a whole range of enhancements to provide a better picture. They include a 2D Comb filter, Dynamic contrast, Blue stretch and Green enhancement so that you always get the most natural looking colors.

With PC input you can connect your TV to a computer and use the TV as a PC monitor.

A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed high-bandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analog, it delivers an unblemished and noisefree image, that is clear and flickerfree. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programs from Digital Settop boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analog PC-VGA signals.

This design style emphasizes a slim, compact look that saves space and fits in anywhere.

Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to experience total surround with greater depth and width of sound, without the use of additional speakers.

The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion.

Other standard features include: Auto Picture to personalise your viewing. Auto Sound uses pre-defined sound settings for better sound. DVI-I provides the best picture and flexible connectivity. 2D Combfilter sharpens images for finer detail.

Sharp's LC-13S1U-B provides a unique, versatile solution for home installation. The LC-13S1U-B's stylish yet simple design, with speakers placed below the LCD screen, makes this television much narrower than side-speaker models. This enables the LC-13S1U-B to fit into many places throughout the home, all without sacrificing any features! The LC-13S1U-B utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel, which provides levels of high brightness (430 cd/m2), a 500:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles (170? x 170?). Additionally, the LC-13S1U-B is an EDTV monitor, which means it is compatible with 480p signals from progressive DVD players.The LC-13S1U-B includes an easel-style table stand that allows the TV to occupy an amazingly small footprint. In addition, the stand is easily removed for wall mounting applications. These models use the VESA 100mm standard mounting pattern and are compatible with a wide range of brackets including Sharp's AN-PSMARM and AN-PUCM.

Sharp's LC-13S1UB 13-inch LCD TV is a sleek, compact, high-performance flat-panel television from the AQUOS line of liquid crystal displays. The display uses Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/black TFT panel to give you extra brightness, a 500:1 contrast ratio, and superior 170-degree viewing angles, which means you can position the television anywhere--even near light sources--and still get clear, bright picture. The built-in tuner lets you plug your cable line directly into the television to watch up to 181 channels out of the box.

The LC-13S1UB comes with an easel-style stand for the tabletop, or the stand can be removed and the set can be wall-mounted using most of Sharp's mounting brackets (not included). The two built-in speakers are positioned below the screen rather than on the side, which makes the television narrower than typical LCD TVs of the same size. The speakers each supply 2.1 watts of power, for a total power output of 4.2 watts. Also included is a full-function remote control (2 AAA batteries included).

You get two composite-video inputs for convenient hookup to your favorite gaming console or camcorder. There are also two rear S-video inputs and one component-video input. The television is EDTV-capable, so it is compatible with progressive-scan DVD players.

Want a high performance new flat panel TV that "does it all"? Need a choice of screen sizes to suit your different needs? Samsung's new 45 series of LCD TV's is the place to start. These beautiful new sleek designs contain Samsung's latest LCD panel technology. It all starts with picture quality, and these sets boast improved contrast, brightness and off-angle viewing. Add to that the flexibility of a PC input, integrated NTSC stereo TV tuner and a unique base that doubles as a wall mount and you've got both performance and value.

Standing at a mere 2.5 inches thick, Samsung's EDTV-resolution LT-P1545 LCD television is small in stature but big on quality. The 15-inch, 1,024 x 768 screen produces vivid, high-contrast images while occupying a minimum of space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen. Its wide viewing angles (150 x 120 degrees, H x V) ensure easy visibility, even when the unit is mounted on a wall. In addition, the set connects to a personal computer through its RGB (15-pin D-Sub) input, letting you surf the web, check e-mail, or play QuickTime movies right on your television.

Perfect for use with a digital cable, a satellite receiver, or a progressive-scan DVD player, the set is configured in a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio and accepts both standard-definition 480i and enhanced-definition 480p signals. A built-in NTSC stereo tuner is configured to receive the standard 181 channels. And with its lightning-quick 16 ms response time, reasonably high 400:1 contrast ratio, impressive 450 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), the set renders sharp, focused images from a range of inputs.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The LT-P1545 makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each) as well as a handy swivel base that doubles as a tilting wall mount--no additional accessories required. The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with a trilingual onscreen menu. Additional features include sleep and on timers, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring level differences between, say, programs and their commercials.

Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the built-in 2.5-watts-per-channel x 2 speaker system. The television's MTS multichannel decoding separates audio signals for stereo reception and broadcasts a second audio program (SAP) when available for multilingual or other applications.

To connect the monitor to devices such as DTV set-top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, game consoles, or camcorders, use the set's component-video input (480i/480p), S-video input, composite-video input, RF input, and the above-mentioned PC input, each with its attendant audio inputs.

Here is an elegant looking LCD TV that also provides a great audio visual experience with a wide screen high definition panel, Virtual Dolby Surround and unique slim speakers.

Philips 17PF8946 17-inch HDTV-ready flat-panel LCD TV is more than just great looks. The perfect size for a small space, the 3.1-inch-thick display provides an excellent audio/visual experience with features like Crystal Clear III, Active Control, Virtual Dolby Surround, and unique flat speakers. It even has a built-in FM radio tuner so you can listen to all your favorite radio channels, and up to 40 station presets make sure you tune in fast.

The high-definition (HD tuner not included), 1,280 x 768 WXGA LCD panel uses the latest panel technology, such as Philips' proprietary Crystal Clear package of innovations featuring a 3D digital comb filter (eliminates dot crawl and color bleeding, enhancing fine detail, cleaning up image outlines, and removing most extraneous colors), Dynamic Contrast for deep blacks and pure whites, and green and blue color enhancement. The high 400:1 contrast ratio gives you better subtle color details and the ability to see the picture in bright light conditions, and the 25-millisecond response time means it's capable of handling fast-moving action without image blur or lag.

Active Control delivers the best picture setting, any time, from any source. The incoming signal is automatically analyzed and key picture settings, like sharpness, color, and contrast, are adjusted. The 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio is the best for viewing HDTV and DVDs so you can have a more realistic cinema experience, but the TV has zoom modes for viewing 4:3 analog broadcast TV and pan-and-scan-formatted video.

Built-in flat speakers (4 watts per channel) sit on either side of the active-matrix TFT LCD, giving you full stereo sound without needing to connect to an external speaker system. Virtual Dolby Surround sound support simulates cinema surround sound effects without the need for rear speakers. Philips' Smart Listening auto volume leveling eliminates drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break.

Other features include fantastic 176-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, 100 preset channels, Autostore for easy tuning, Auto Picture (five modes give you picture settings for different types of programming), Auto Sound (four modes to tailor the TV sound to enhance what you're watching), multilanguage onscreen display, sleep timer, integrated NTSC tuner and RF jack for terrestrial reception, ergonomic remote control, and an antireflective screen.

Want to do more than just watch TV? The 17PF8946 has an FM antenna connector for getting better reception, a rear composite input, and a component input that helps minimize digital and line-scan artifacts during DVD playback. And, because the TV is progressive scan, it can take advantage of the more filmlike images produced by progressive-scan DVD players. It has a VGA input too, which receives the signal from your PC so you can use it as a TV and a PC monitor. A set of side jacks has a composite A/V input with S-video, a mini headphone jack, and an audio in for using the TV's speakers with your PC.

Amazon Product Description Perfect for high-contrast television and progressive-scan DVD viewing, Philips' standard (4:3) aspect-ratio 20PF7835 is stylish enough and small enough to be used in any room of the house. The 20-inch TV offers high brightness (400 cd/m2) and high contrast (350:1), as well as an integrated NTSC TV tuner for cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs. Hook it up to an optional DTV receiver or progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed images from progressive-scanned 480p sources on the set's native 640 x 480 screen.

Philips' Dynamic Contrast technology optimizes the contrast of the picture by stretching the white, gray, and black levels.

LCD technology allows screens to be thinner and televisions to be lighter and more energy efficient than ever before. The result is television that not only fits on a wall, but fits in places conventional televisions cannot. The 20PF7835 comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear III technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast and advanced, 10-bit processing. Further, the DCDi chip by Faroudja enhances resolution by eliminating the stair-step jagged edges often seen on progressive-scan displays.

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. The DCDi chip also offers 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

AutoPicture lets you change--at the touch of a button--the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, including sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals. An audio volume leveler (AVL) keeps the TV sound at an even level for a more consistent, comfortable sound, and a five-band graphic equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference. Inputs include a component-video (standard-definition), an S-video, and a composite-video connection, with a .125-inch stereo headphone jack for private listening (headphones not included).

They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

Super In Plane Switching (Super IPS) technology (made by Zenith's parent company, LG Electronics), which delivers unprecedented horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 176 degrees--virtually equaling those of CRTs, all the while ensuring better, clearer pictures from off-center seating positions than previously possible with an LCD. Super IPS uses a switching mode that treats light passing through the display at an angle virtually the same as light passing straight through the display. As a result, the set renders brightness, contrast, and color much more evenly, regardless of where you sit.

A 3-line digital comb filter 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).

The set also uses Faroudja's DCDi Processor, which upconverts standard video signals (480i) to progressive-scan 480p signals, eliminating the jagged edges along diagonal lines. Progressive-scan signals create a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional pictures, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Parental control with V-Chip (a programmable feature that uses the US standard content-advisory system to exclude viewing of specific programs or program types) helps you keep young eyes off mature content. Other features include Dolby Virtual Surround processing for simulating surround sound from the set's two 5-watt speakers, and an onscreen graphic equalizer for tailoring the sound to your preference.

For connections, the set offers 1 each component- and S-video inputs, 2 composite-video inputs, and 1 coaxial RF input for use with an antenna or a VCR or cable box. A headphone output affords private listening.

Liquid crystal display televisions work by trapping a liquid crystal solution between two sheets of polarized glass. When an electric current is passed through the liquid crystals, they align so light cannot pass through. Each crystal then either blocks or allows light to pass through it based on the broadcast information. For clear, crisp color that rivals traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, a thin film transistor, known as a TFT is employed.

LCD allows screens to be thinner, and televisions lighter and more energy-efficient than ever before. The result is television that not only fits on a wall, but also fits in places conventional televisions cannot.
