Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

An affordable choice for home theater, the 32-inch Audiovox FPE3206 saves space with its detachable bottom-mounted speakers and a removable tilting base, which enables you to mount the set to a wall with optional VESA-compatible hardware. This set has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner as well as an ATSC tuner for over-the-air HD reception. You can also view high-definition programming (1080i/720p/480p/480i) when connected to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box via the component video inputs.

The FPE3206 features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, which helps to eliminate the jagginess found in non-HD video content. FaroudjaÕs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

This set also performs automatic 3:3/2:2 pulldown detection--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

This set has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 176-degree viewing angle, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) You can also use this set as a PC monitor via the DVI connection, which can also be used to provide uncompressed digital video from compatible set-top boxes. Other features include picture-in-picture (PIP) capability, closed captioning, V-chip parental controls, and SRS surround sound. It provides the following connections:

• Composite audio/video In: 1
• S-Video In: 1
• Component video In: 1
• RF In: 1
• DVI In: 1 (with PC audio mini-jack)
• Headphone: 1

Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device. This universal standard for connecting flat-panel monitors is also used for data projectors, plasma displays, and digital TVs.

This review is from: Audiovox FPE3206 32-Inch HDTV Ready Flat Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

I've owned this TV almost 2+1/2 years now. The picture is nice, it has nice sound, the on screen menu is intuitive and easy to use. I would give it a much higher rating if it were more reliable. The picture went black after having it less than a year and getting warranty repair was not simple or easy to arrange, however it was provided at no cost to me and included pickup and return. The TV worked fine for another year plus, but a couple weeks ago I started having power supply problems again - turn it on and the opening screen flashes on and off for a while before it comes on, a few seconds at first, now a few minutes.
If your shopping for a new flat panel TV, be sure to include the cost of an extended warranty for this one when comparing prices.

I've had this television for a little over 2.5 years.
It's HDMI compatible with 1080i.
Screen is great with every medium (DVDs, BlueRays, PS3, XBOX360, and computer).

Excellent Purchase!

I purchased this from a store that was going out of business, again leary of the Audiovox line but it was cheap so I figured what the heck. Turned out to be some of the best money I could have spent, this TV has been a gem. I use it in my bedroom with my PS3 and my Apple TV and it doesn't miss a beat. Well worth the cost, and it is 1080i.
