Description:
Loaded with video features, the CT-36SX12 offers a massive, high-quality image for a fraction of the price of similarly sized high-definition monitors. Relative to standard, curved TV screens, Panasonic's Tau PureFlat screen produces fewer reflections, so you can enjoy distraction-free TV viewing no matter where you sit in the room. An Invar mask heightens picture quality by applying the optimal amount of vertical tension to the shadow mask to minimize the color shift manifest in conventional flat CRTs. With selectable Digital Velocity Modulated Scan, circuitry along the neck of the CRT 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. The set's wideband video amplifier expands the video frequency response to more than 10 MHz, allowing for a horizontal resolution capability of more than 800 lines. A motion-adaptive three-line digital comb filter prevents any two lines with different colors from being processed simultaneously, minimizing hanging dots in the image. Horizontal edge correction sharpens the edges of objects, while vertical edge correction works in conjunction with the digital comb filter to sharpen image edges. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of musical passages to help provide a more natural sound. Surround Sound simulates stereo sound--even from a monaural source--by delaying the original, two-channel sound to create a surround effect. Artificial Intelligence Sound Control (AISC) maintains an even sound level to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV channels and types of programming. With the set's two-tuner PIP and 8-bit image processing, you can watch two TV programs simultaneously--simply swap the main screen and the inset picture at the touch of a button. In addition to basic television controls, the set's remote can operate most VCRs, cable boxes, and DVD players. Illuminated buttons make it easier to use in the dark.
