Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Small, yes, but big on quality and value, Panasonic's 17-inch TC-17LA2 LCD TV is perfect for apartments, bedrooms, offices, or dorm rooms, letting you bring quality imaging to places where you couldn't normally put a high-resolution TV. At just 3.5 inches deep, the TC-17LA2 is easy to carry and position. Optimized for both television viewing and DVD/VHS tape playback, the TC-17LA2 has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio and features a slim, lightweight cabinet, a 181-channel NTSC tuner, high 450 cd/m2 brightness, a lightning-quick 16 ms response time, and a 400:1 contrast ratio for exceptional picture clarity.

The 640 x 480-pixel TC-17LA2 can display enhanced-definition TV (EDTV) programming in the 480p signal format (ATSC DTV receiver not included) and will also display 480p signals from a progressive-scan DVD player at full resolution. The unit also features stereo speakers with 6 watts per channel (x 2).

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 cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

A 3D Y/C digital comb filter digitally separates the color information from the black and white portions of the signal, eliminating dot crawl and so-called hanging dots. Other enhancements include LCD AI (Artificial Intelligence), which continuously monitors signal conditions to maintain high picture contrast.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.
