Product Description

Amazon.com Product 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.)

What's in the Box
TV with detachable stand, a remote control, remote batteries, an RGB monitor video cable, an S-video cable, a user's manual, a product registration card, and an AC power cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars KREISEN KR-270T is an excellent LCD TV (HDTV Ready) Buy, December 7, 2004

This review is from: Kreisen KR-270T 27-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV (Electronics)

I bought this TV and had it over 3 months and it's one of the best investments I have made on CE products. First, it saved me so much money campared to many other more expensive LCD TVs. I also checked out several other products similarly priced but did not like the design or the picture quality from the obviously less than superior LCD panels. KREISEN makes full line up of LCD TV line from 17" wide up to 32". I have done my research and only s few branded products are selling 32" LCD TVs and at much higher price too. KREISEN only sells LCD TV, which makes them more focused rather than companies who brand LCD TV, Plasma, LCOS, etc without having expertise in one flat panel category. They have good tech support and the guy told me all of the LCD TVs from KREISEN is made in Korea, which gives me some more assurance of the quality of the product as well. I highly recommend KREISEN. In fact, with the money I saved on LCD TV, I purchased KREISEN DVD Recorder which is also another great value.

This review is from: Kreisen KR-270T 27-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV (Electronics)

I was happy when I found the Kreisen KR-270T LCD-TV at a price below US$1k. It was my promise to myself that I would get a flat panel TV set when they reached this price point. In fact, I was at the point when I would have bought a more expensive model and was shopping for these TVs when I found the Kreisen. I live in the city in a small house and this size meets my needs perfectly (I have a 37 inch space in which to place this). The quality is fantastic and I use a Momitsu DVD-880 upconverting region free DVD player with this. I am very pleased with the quality. Don't take my word for it, go to a Microcentre store and see the Kreisen line "in person". You'll find that they are indeed a super value for the money. While the tuner section is useless in Centre City Philadelphia (need cable or satellite), the Kreisen's tuners work well outside of the city. Also, you may see that I upgraded to a 32" Kreisen, this TV gives very satisfactory performance in small spaces and satisfactory performance in larger spaces.

This review is from: Kreisen KR-270T 27-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD TV (Electronics)

Kriesen is a real sleeper. As good as it gets, yet an outstanding bargain compared to the big boys. The picture is outstanding in HD mode!! Very bright and detailed. Unit is attractive and remote easy once you get the hang of it. Highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of talking to customer support and they are, without doubt, the nicest and most helpful electronics company I have dealt with in years!
