Best LCD Picture I've Ever Seen
I just received this TV today and am more than pleased. The picture is brilliant, and setting it up with my progrssive scan DVD player was a snap. The picture is EXCELLENT. Highly recommended. The 23-inch size is larger than I expected, it really fills up the rooms with picture and sound.

Better than I imagined!!
I shopped around for a couple of weeks and looked at several brands.I thought the Samsung had the best picture and was $150-$200 less than comparable brands (Sony).I looked for the best price on the Web, and found it for just under $850 at some internet sites.On a whim, I checked Amazon and was blown away.It was around $850 from a Amazon (a reputable dealer), PLUS I could return it within 30 days if there were any problems.None of the other Web dealers offered that.So I ordered it, paid a paltry $16 for shipping and it arrived 4 days later in perfect condition.

I set it up, hooked it into my HD cable box (ComCast) with component cables (I still need to get the HDMI cable) and tuned in a HD channel.I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!It was far better than I imagined.I tuned in Pulp Fiction on HD-HBO and could actually see the individual hairs on Samuel L Jackson's fro!The color contrast was brilliant.

Now, like most LCD TVs the picture quality is just OK on the non-HD broadcasts, but I'm willing to live with this for now b/c most channels are moving to HD.

You can't go wrong with this TV or the price/experience with Amazon.

I'm not sure how I lucked out with deal but I'm not going to complain.I went to Circuit City to look for a 20+ inch LCD TV and compared 10-15, really leaning towars the Sony or Samsung models.When I was about to leave the salesperson asked if I had seen the LNR238W yet.They hadn't received any in the store yet but it was on their website as a 'Coming Soon' item for $1,099.I went home and looked online for the model and was able to find it on Amazon for $850.00 with shipping.I bought it that same day and am glad I did.The best part of this TV by far is the picture quality.It's gives a nice crisp picture on any channel and handles fast motion with ease.The only issue I have is that it doesn't provide wall mounts that will work with this model, so for now I have it on it's base.All in all, it was a great deal and I'm surprised that Amazon is now asking $1,000 for the same model two weeks later. ...

Samsung's HL-P5063W displays 50 inches of inviting widescreen viewing, elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing under 78 pounds and standing less than 15 inches deep, the high-definition-ready HL-P5063W offers more screen and less bulk. But it offers more than just quantity of screen: it's also engineered for quality.

The secret to this DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection set's quality is its Emmy-winning technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung has combined its proprietary Cinema Smooth Gen 3 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, postage-stamp-sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine enhances brightness while ensuring an incredible 1,500:1 contrast ratio.

Texas Instruments' DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause other displays to deteriorate with use, imparting a longer life expectancy than that of cathode ray tube (CRT) sets, plasma display panels, and liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS).

A host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs make non-issues of connectivity challenges and future proofing. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand, or move it just about anywhere, anytime. The screen's surface is nearly 100 percent reflective, and its lightning-quick switching speeds make it twice as fast as earlier designs and nearly 1,000 times faster than competing micro-display technologies.

The HL-P5063W's automatic digital-format conversion system converts any input (whether DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer sources at 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) to a progressive, 16:9 widescreen image with a 1,280 x 720 pixel count. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter dramatically reduces image-edge artifacts while improving transition detail, and the set's HD ultra-fine-pitch (.155 mm) screen further clarifies images, especially when you're viewing high-resolution sources like DVD and HDTV.

Samsung's Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down correction circuitry addresses digital distortion in 480i (interlaced) video signals generated from 24 frames-per-second film.

Finally, Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) works with all analog NTSC and wideband video signals for improvements in contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality sources.

The set offers digital-video inputs in 2 formats. A DVI-HDTV interface with HDCP copy protection permits all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface, and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) jack channels both digital audio and video to simplify connections with newer DTV set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing hookups to just a single cable and plug.

Other inputs include dual HDTV component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) for high-definition satellite receivers, HDTV tuners, and HD cable boxes with component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr); 3 each composite- and S-video inputs; and 2 RF coaxial inputs for antennas or older VCRs or cable boxes. An audio/video output permits hookup with an external device such as a surround-sound receiver.

A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of 2-way speakers comes with built-in SRS TruSurround XT, which simulates compelling surround sound through any stereo playback system, including headphones and the TV's speakers.

Last but far from least, onboard 2-tuner PIP with side-by-side split-screen viewimng grants convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, while a supplied universal remote control permits control of the TV, a DVD player, a VCR, and a tuner/surround receiver.

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's fourth-generation plasma television, the 42-inch SP-P4251, uses the company's proprietary electronic chassis and its latest DNIe picture-enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and overall picture clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC--it's perfect for both. It comes with a pedestal stand and a pair of built-in NTSC tuners for split-screen and PIP viewing (small, large, double). Built-in analog tuners allow you to connect an analog RF signal cable or antenna directly to the set and watch standard-definition TV right out of the box.

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the SP-P4251 is a mere 3.4 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The set boasts an incredible contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and a brightness rating of 1,000 cd/m2. With every scene, the picture is clear and vivid, capturing and revealing every detail, even in bright light. The set's picture-frame design is finished in luxurious aluminum and acrylic with contrasting tones of sliver and black. The use of these colors and materials help eliminate glare and facilitate comfortable viewing, freeing your eyes to focus only on the picture.

The set's panel construction is calibrated for better performance and greater durability than earlier plasma models--even surpassing the longevity of prior-generation CRT sets, offering a 50,000-hour panel life (viewing time under normal conditions, after which picture deterioration may occur).

Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) combines a Motion Optimizer, Contrast Enhancer, Detail Enhancer, and Color Optimizer to deliver a vivid, lifelike picture. With the Motion Optimizer, fast-moving images are rendered with more natural-looking motion, without blurring or noise. DNIe's Detail Enhancer analyzes video elements to produce sharper detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transition. The Color Optimizer gives colors lifelike realism while making whites more accurate and skin tones more natural. The Contrast Enhancer gives you deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites.

In addition to component (Y, Pb, Pr) inputs for an HD set-top box, PC, andDVD player, the set also offers an DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface) jack for the best possible resolution in a direct digital connection. In keeping with the slim profile of the Plasma TV, AV jacks are on the side so that, even after installation, peripherals such as video players, camcorders, and other AV equipment can be easily connected.

Built-in speakers powered by 12 watts per channel means your movies and TV programming will sound great even without a standalone multichannel surround system. Helping out in the surround-effect department, SRS TruSurround XT incorporates these features: TruSurround 6CH Surround Effect, TruBass Virtual Woofer Effect, Dialog Clarity Virtual Center Effect, and WOW Stereo Enhancement.

Wall mounting is optional using Samsung's WMN4240 wall-mount kit.

Excellent monitor with no compromises
I spent several weeks researching monitors, both online and by viewing them in local stores. A few things became quickly apparant:

* Most stores demo monitors nowadays in HD mode. This is great if you've already switched to HD, but makes it difficult to judge a monitor's performance on an SVHS signal.
* The offbrand monitors really don't look as good as the name brands. Side by side it was clear that the Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sharp, Samsung looked better than the less familiar brands. This mostly in terms of contrast and color. The name brand monitors looked pretty much identical.
* Many of the high end TV's (Sony, Toshiba) don't have PC input - a critical factor in my choice.
* Many of the high end monitors (such as Viewsonic), don't have the best quality or support on TV signals.

I decided to try the Samsung based on a number of key features:

* Speakers under the monitor saves space (I needed to fit into the space of a 27" TV)
* Seemed to emphasize TV features and quality.
* Consumer Reports for other Samsung LCD TV's indicated average standard TV performance (none of the sets they checked rated excellent, only a few above average).
* PC input

Hookup and setup were simple. Like most LCD monitors, it had a slight red bias out of the box, but it was easily adjusted. Samsung's DNIE enhancement is not a gimmick. They have a demo mode that shows you the corrected and uncorrected image. What's most interesting is not that the corrected image is better (you'd expect that) but that the uncorrected image is so familiar - it looks just like the display I saw on the off-brand monitors.

I don't yet have an HD signal, but was able to check a high resolution image using a PC and it looked excellent (as one would expect).

The really pleasant surprise is how good it looked on SVHS input (coming in from a DirectTV box). When using Zoom mode to watch a letterboxed movie, the quality of the image at normal viewing distance is stunning. You have to get up close (within 3-4 feet or so) to begin to see the digital scaling artifacts.

Another pleasant surprise was the effectiveness of the dynamic contrast system. I used the home THX adjustment system included on newer DVD's (like The Incredibles). On my plasma set, it took quite a bit of adjustment to get the brightness and contrast right. On this set, it was dead on right out of the box.

Component video off a DVD player looked as good as my plasma set. The four video modes (wide, panoramic [a smart stretch], zoom and 4:3) worked as expected. I don't have a standard cable connection, but tried out the tuner using a rabbit ear antenna and it looked like what you'd expect from a standard TV - great on strong signals, lousy on weak ones.

One of the results I was hoping for most was delivered in spades - the location of this set has very poor lighting and the TV it is replacing had horrific glare and reflection issues. I no longer notice any obvious glare or reflections (except off the shiny black bezel, which doesn't interfere with my viewing).

In terms of flaws, I haven't found anything significant yet. My only small gripe is that the picture mode setting is not on the main set of buttons on the remote but hidden under a plastic slide. That's a control you use all the time and it should be more prominent.

I also did a fair amount of research on where to purchase the set. There are lower cost places online, but be careful - many of them have terrible customer reviews. Others charge inflated shipping rates - one store wanted $140 to ship the set. At about $25, Amazon was the lowest cost shipper I found. Also, the extended warranty available from Amazon is much less expensive than that available from other vendors. But the final factor that led me to get it through Amazon was the return policy. Almost none of other vendors allow returns of this set. Amazon, if I read their policy correctly, allows return of sets below 27 inches, and this is a 26 inch set. Fortunately, this one's a keeper. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The Samsung HL-P4663W combines cutting-edge picture quality with a 46-inch widescreen body that--unlike many other large TVs--doesn't dominate the room. The TV weighs 69.4 pounds and is approximately 13 inches deep, so there's no need to push back the couch to accommodate the chassis. Even better, the flat screen receives breathtaking high-definition content when paired with an external HD receiver, delivering a pixel count of 1,280 x 720 and a 1,500:1 contrast ratio. The elite video performance derives from the Texas Instruments-developed single-panel digital micromirror device (DMD) and DLP projection system, which combine to create a digital connection between the video source and the screen (most other connections are analog). The TV also employs Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine, which enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality, impacting contrast, white level, and picture detail.

The widescreen format is a favorite among movie buffs and HDTV fans, as the expanded screen offers a truer representation of the original film source. The HL-P4663W adds to the value by converting 1080i and 720p HDTV and 480p and 480i SDTV video signals to a 16:9 widescreen pixel count, letting users enjoy the enhanced format while watching all manner of programming. The TV boasts other impressive technologies as well, including Cinema Smooth 3:2 pulldown (improves the resolution of original film content), a 3D digital comb filter (enhances transition detail), and a bright ultra-fine pitch screen. And because the TV projects onto a single panel only, it eliminates the risk of color aberrations and focus problems often seen on projection TVs with multiple panels or CRTs.

As with many large-screen TVs, this model delights sports fans and TV buffs with its two-tuner picture-in-picture display. Viewers can watch one program on the main screen and another in the small inset window, or they can split the screens in half for simultaneous viewing. Other user favorites include format size adjustment (Zoom 1, Zoom 2, Wide, Panorama, and Normal), color temperature adjustment, a multilingual onscreen menu, previous channel, and V-chip parental control.

The TV is equipped with a 30-watt two-way speaker system and SRS TruSurround XT technology. The latter is a virtual surround engine that plays rich 5.1-multichannel content through two speakers, including internal TV speakers and headphones. TruSurround is compatible with all multichannel formats up to 6.1 channels. The TV also offers no shortage of inputs and outputs, including a DVI digital video input, an HDMI digital audio and video input, and a PC input, along with the usual stockpile of two component video inputs, three composite inputs, three S-video inputs, and a video output. The digital inputs are designed for the next generation of HD receivers and DVD players, which are built to transfer all signals digitally without losing any information via the conversion to analog. The TV includes an S-video and composite input on the side, where it's more easily accessible for game consoles and camcorders.

Amazon.com Product Description

Big, bold, and beautiful, Samsung's 42-inch HP-P4261 flat-panel gas-plasma display offers bright, brilliant color, extraordinarily high contrast--a ratio of 3,000:1--and high-definition compatibility with HD sources. Its native resolution is 1,024 x 768, there's an RGB PC input, and the set's direct-digital DVI input works with compatible DTV set-top boxes.

A built-in analog NTSC tuner and a convenient array of inputs and outputs make set up a snap, and the HP-P4261's widescreen (16:9) display is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of your favorite movies, either from DVD or from HDTV broadcasts when the set is hooked up to a DTV receiver (not included).

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the HP-P4261 is an astoundingly slim 3.4 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting (the set includes a pedestal stand, pictured). Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems. You do, however, need to be wary of image burn-in (wherein long-held stationary images leave a permanent impression in the screen).

Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail, and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality video sources.

Additional inputs include 2 HD component-video inputs (480p/720p/1080i) as well as 2 S-video, 3 composite-video, and 1 RF. Front-panel inputs accommodate spontaneous hookups with gaming consoles and camcorders.

The set also houses stereo speakers powered by a generous 12 watts per channel. SRS TruSurround XT is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of conveying 5.1-channel surround through 2 speakers, such as those on the TV. TruSurround simulates surround sound through any 2-speaker playback system, including headphones. It's fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 6.1 channels.

The set's 2-tuner picture-in-picture feature (side-by-side, split-screen) grants convenient, simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, and a fanless cooling system ensures quiet operation. Optional accessories include a wall-mount kit (WMN4240).

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's versatile, big-screen LT-P326W offers a stunning picture--crisp and clear from corner to corner, with 1,280 x 768 native pixel resolution. The 32-inch set is perfect for use with a DTV set-top box, high-definition satellite receiver, or progressive-scan DVD player, accepting standard-definition 480i inputs, enhanced-definition 480p signals, and full high-definition 720p and 1080i as well. An onboard digital comb filter separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges so you can enjoy sharp, focused images that look great regardless of their source.

The LT-P326W uses Samsung's DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine) picture-enhancement circuitry, which improves contrast, detail, color, and video motion. Its impressive 600:1 contrast ratio makes it capable of rendering extremely deep blacks, while its high brightness (500 cd/m2) produces vivid images even in bright rooms. And, with its speedy 16-milisecond pixel-response time, the LT-P326W is nothing if not ready to handle the fastest-moving video sequences, from video games to action films. Horizontal and vertical viewing angles each extend up to 170 degrees, making sure everyone has the best seat in the room.

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. (Perched atop its round swivel base, the set weighs in at barely more than 50 pounds.) LCDs 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 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. Use the split-screen/PIP option to view multiple sources simultaneously.

To connect the monitor to devices such as DTV set-top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, game consoles, or camcorders, use either of the set's digital-video inputs--DVI (Digital Visual Interface) or HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)--for a direct digital connection, or take advantage of its dual high-definition component-video inputs. Other inputs consist of 1 each composite- and S-video inputs, 1 RF input, and the above-mentioned PC input, each with its attendant audio jacks.

The DVI-HDTV interface (with HDCP copy protection) enables an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface. DVI supports up to 24-bit digital RGB data for each pixel. Like DVI, HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, digital audio/video interface to link the set with any compatible AV source. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable.

Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the built-in 10-watts-per-channel x 2 speaker system. SRS TruSurround technology simulates surround sound from the set's 2 speakers, while 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.

As with many high-quality TVs, the LT-P326W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes, including custom settings for each. The TV also provides color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with a trilingual onscreen menu.

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's brilliant TX-P2775H is an amazingly affordable integrated HDTV. The 27-inch set delivers off-air HDTV reception, high-definition image resolution (1080i/720p/480p), and a multitude of inputs and picture enhancements for a detailed, high-contrast picture. The set's standard 4:3 aspect ratio matches the dimensions of your favorite TV shows and most sports broadcasts, while its DynaFlat screen minimizes both unwanted reflections and geometric distortions inherent in standard (non-flat) screens.

For the CRT (cathode-ray tube) screen, Samsung's proprietary DynaFlat technology delivers a perfectly flat viewing surface with none of the curvature, image distortion, or detrimental glare that accompanies traditional TV screens. Hook the set up with any DTV set-top box or progressive-scan DVD player to take full advantage of its high resolution and picture-enhancing technologies.

This 800-line screen brings higher resolution than that achieved by earlier-generation sets because the individual phosphor color spots (or pixels) are smaller and closer together in this configuration. The set's multiple-focus electron gun illuminates finer spots for a more detailed picture, edge-to-edge, and it's assisted in this job by an 8-bit, 20 MHz, 3D Y/C digital comb filter and velocity-scan modulation circuitry.

Velocity-scan modulation 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.

Another set of image improvements is wrapped into Samsung's Pro Picture 3-stage video correction: Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Pro Chip Plus (converts all interlaced analog signals to superior, flicker-free progressive-scan images), and the above-mentioned three-line digital comb filter (which analyzes multiple lines of picture information to better minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail).

A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture.

The TX-P2775H performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Connections include 2 autosensing high-definition component-video inputs, 2 S-video inputs, a trio of composite-video inputs (with accompanying stereo analog RCA audio inputs), 2 RF inputs (for an older VCR or cable box), and a set of audio/video outputs for feeding a DVR or VCR. Convenient side-panel audio/video inputs foster hookups with camcorders and gaming consoles while preserving the set's uncluttered silver front panel.

A zoom screen-filling option lets you customize the view of letter-boxed DVDs from the supplied remote control, while convenient side-panel buttons let you configure the set and access its menus without having to use the remote.

The TX-P2775H's 10 watts per channel (x 2) ensures sonic clarity and an ability to play loudly via a pair of speaker stylishly positioned along the sides of the set. Several sound mode offer dynamic audio settings for whatever you're watching; choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's 20-inch TX-P2034 is a full-featured direct-view CRT TV with a DynaFlat antidistortion, antiglare dark-tint picture tube that yields high picture contrast and minimal reflection. The TX-P2034 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, good for viewing analog broadcast TV and pan-and-scan-formatted video at a resolution of 480i (interlaced). Four video presets optimize the picture for the type of program being watched with user-adjustable brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and tint. Plus, screen-filling picture modes let you fit the image to your screen.

A digital comb filter virtually eliminates dot crawl or cross-color interference, producing a superior picture. The Invar shadow mask removes picture discoloration (doming) caused by heat and allows the tube to operate at a higher voltage, yielding brighter whites, higher contrast, and purer colors.Color temperature controls allow you to adjust white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Normal" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased. Get sharper defined edges and outlines with velocity scan modulation that controls the speed of transitions between the black and white portions of the signal.

Auto Kine Aging Bias automatically regulates the white balance to maintain consistent, optimal performance even after many years of use. A White Peak Limiter and Dynamic Black Level Expander further improve picture contrast. To get an even cleaner picture, the TX-P2034 has a digital video noise reduction system to remove digital artifacts from images.

The TX-P2034's speaker design uses side-mounted, front-firing speakers to deliver the most stereo sound reproduction available from a television's internal speaker system. Aside from the 2.5-watt-per-channel stereo speaker system, the set has MTS for receiving stereo sound and SAP for receiving a second audio track in another language. Listen to your programming in privacy using the stereo headphone jack. Auto volume leveling eliminates drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break. And the improved Turbo Sound loudness control boosts high and low audio frequencies, while Sound Enhancement Modes create more realistic audio environments for movies, music, and speech. A simulated surround sound mode is also available.

A set of side composite inputs present a cleaner-looking front cabinet and make hooking up a game console or camcorder a snap. Two rear composite inputs, an S-Video input, and a DVD component input make connecting your audio/visual equipment easy. Component video inputs split the video signal into its base components--Y (the black and white part of the picture), Pr (red minus Y), and Pb (blue minus Y). The signal remains pure and unaffected by the TV's comb filter or NTSC decoder. The result is higher resolution and improved color purity. A fixed A/V output is on the rear of the set as well.

Many convenience features have been incorporated into the TX-P2034's design. A full-function remote control gives you access to the tri-lingual (English, Spanish, French) on-screen display, sleep timer, noise muting, and channel return as well as basics like channel changing, volume, and picture and audio adjustments. There is also a V-chip control system to easily limit the types of programs your children are watching and a Remote Surf feature that returns the TV to the original channel so other channels can be browsed during commercial breaks.
