Description:
Sony's second-generation KE-32TS2 16:9 widescreen gas-plasma TV offers elegant WEGA styling with improved performance features over its predecessor, including 38 percent higher peak brightness (though Sony has not disclosed the actual brightness rating). The set includes everything you need to get the set up and running in minutes, from an NTSC broadcast tuner to built-in stereo speakers and even a handy pedestal for tabletop positioning. The set's native 852 x 1024 pixel resolution (vertical x horizontal) ensures detailed images, while 1,000:1 contrast ratio means you'll see deep black and vivid, dynamic images from just about any source. Use it with a DTV set-top receiver for viewing full high-definition programming (720p, 1080i scaled for 1024 display) or with your progressive-scan DVD player for seamless, flicker-free images at 480p. Onboard Pixel by Pixel I/P (interlace to progressive) conversion reconstructs interlaced (480i) film or video scenes one pixel at a time for fluid, life-like motion along with breathtaking image detail. 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 KE-32TS2 is a mere 5.25 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. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Sony's CineMotion full reverse 3:2 conversion digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Sony's exclusive Digital Pixel Generator System transmits and process all video signals digitally. It maximizes the quality of video sources for natural, rich image reproduction, and it's especially effective with high-definition sources. A Digital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV) connection enables the delivery of copy-protected, high-definition video content from a compatible set-top box (DTV receiver). Other connections include 2 high-definition-capable component-video inputs, 2 each composite- and S-video jacks, and an RF coaxial input to handle an antenna, cable box, or an older VCR. The audio system offers 7 watts per channel x 2 for the built-in speakers, a monaural RCA subwoofer output for enhancing your bass through use of a powered stand-alone subwoofer, and TruSurround SRS audio processing, which generates the life-like sound of rear speakers using only the stereo pair built into the television cabinet. This minimizes the need to sit in a designated "sweet spot" while you and your family watch movies or TV. Alternately, a set of left/right RCA audio outs lets you integrate the set with your audio/video surround receiver. Place the set on a matching AV stand, Sony's SU-TS1, or mount it on the wall, picture-style, using the WB-PW2 wall bracket (both accessories optional). What's in the Box
TV, tabletop pedestal base, remote control (RM-Y923), remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information. Note: When used at an altitude of greater than 1,900 meters or 6,248 feet (air pressure less than 800 Hpa), all plasma display panels may generate a low buzzing sound as a result of the difference between the interior and exterior air pressure of the panels. This is not considered a defect and is not covered under by the limited warranty.
