Description:

Bring your favorite movies, TV shows, and PC games to life with Kreisen's KR-270T high-definition LCD television. The remarkably affordable 27-inch widescreen set features a host of audio/video inputs, an internal NTSC tuner for convenient broadcast-TV viewing, and a 1,280 x 768 WXGA-resolution picture for crystal-clear imagery. A high (600:1) contrast ratio, an exceptional peak brightness of 550 candles/square meter, and extremely wide (176 x 176-degrees, vertical/horizontal) viewing angles mean you'll have a rich, exciting picture you can watch from just about anywhere 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. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

Digital Color Transient Improvement (DCTI) reduces color smear along the vertical edges of bright-color areas, while a technology called Digital Luminance Transient Improvement (DLTI) enhances contrast for a sharper, more natural image.

The set accommodates 7 video sources: high-definition analog PC (D-Sub 15-pin), 2 composite-video inputs, 1 each S-video and RF coaxial video (as for an antenna or an older VCR or cable box), a direct-digital DVI-I input (Digital Visual Interface for PC), and 1 set of high- or standard-definition component-video inputs.

The set's single-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture)/POP (picture-on-picture) feature lets you view one TV station and one video source (PC, DVD, etc.) simultaneously, either one atop the other or, in double-window mode, even side-by-side.

Other features of the KR-270T include closed-captioning, V-Chip parental control, 10 watts per channel x 2 stereo sound from built-in speakers, and a table stand for easy positioning. (You can also mount the set on the wall.)
