Description:
The 56-inch R56W28 projection monitor boasts a host of Zenith innovations, from its four-element HD lens system to one-touch HD focus and improved HD up-conversion for lower-resolution video signals. The monitor displays either 540p or 1080i formats on its 1,200-line screen. The R56W28 tops previous Zenith models with an enhanced, four-element HD lens system, improving image brightness and focus. A computer-configured nine-point digital-focus array actually looks at 117 points, interpolating between points to yield an image that is razor sharp from center to edge. The set's image is further sharpened by its .52 mm screen pitch. The HD focus eliminates the need to manually adjust the picture. Simply select HD focus from the onscreen setup menu, and in approximately 8 to 10 seconds, more than 8,000 points on the screen will be adjusted for perfect center-to-edge image focus. Most HDTVs perform up-conversion (or line doubling) of analog signals to simulate a high-definition picture, and sometimes this process introduces artifacts that appear as pixilated scenes due to the digital conversion. The R56W28's improved HD driver increases both vertical and horizontal resolution to produce images that are free from picture artifacts. True HD signals are not affected by this process, which leaves them as true to life as possible. The R56W28 also offers 3:2 pull-down detection, which detects and synchs film to video for smooth theaterlike pictures. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pull-down digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame accurate picture on your TV. High-brightness PRTs offer the most realistic picture possible. PRTs are miniature picture tubes comparable to conventional TV tubes, except three are used in each primary color: red, blue, and green. Advanced scan-velocity modulation improves the definition at picture edges, sharpening 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. Jacks include three RF (radio frequency) inputs (for VCR, cable boxes), two high-resolution component-video inputs, two S-video inputs, one S-video output, two sets of AV inputs, one set of AV outputs, and one set of variable analog-audio outputs so you can control the level from your TV's remote even when you're listening through your amplifier or AV receiver.
