Description:

The Samsung HCM5525WX projection HDTV monitor is designed for those looking to transform a room into a theater. Its 55-inch widescreen viewing area is set in a smart-looking medium-gray cabinet, making it the ideal choice for big-screen enjoyment in medium-size and large rooms. When you're ready for the world of full high-definition TV, just add a HD satellite/off-air receiver or an HDTV tuner to enjoy digital HDTV broadcast programming.

Whether your passion is for DVDs, sports, or movies, the HCM5525WX delivers outstanding performance and convenience. At the heart of the set, three high-resolution 7-inch liquid-cooled CRTs power Samsung's RealFlect video system with excellent brightness and contrast. Samsung's PerfectFocus auto-convergence system corrects picture focus at the push of a button. Flicker-free progressive-scan picture performance eliminates scan lines visible in analog projection sets. Its 30-watt stereo audio system delivers ample sound for any entertainment venue.

The set's widescreen aspect ratio is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players, as well as for the growing availability of broadcast programming from HDTV tuners, cable boxes, and satellite receivers. The HDTV component-video inputs accommodate any add-on HDTV tuners, HD satellite receivers, and HD cable boxes that output 1080i-format component-video (Y, Pb, Pr). NTSC-to-480p line doubling takes interlaced inputs (as those from VCRs and non-progressive-scan DVD players) and converts it to a sharper, clearer progressive-scan.

Dual-tuner picture-in-picture enables convenient simultaneous viewing of two TV programs. Remote control PIP functions include the mixing a TV source and a video source, and second-screen size and positioning on the TV screen. A universal remote control permits control over the TV, DVD, VCR, and cable box. A hinged door at the base of the set's component shelf permits placement of two full-sized components (a DVD player and an HDTV Tuner for example). The hinged door features a tinted window for passing remote-control signals, and openings in the back of the cabinet accommodate simple connection of cables and power cords.
