Boasting great features and a stylish new design, Zenith's 27-inch C27F43 offers an affordable blend of simplicity and innovation. The set uses a flat, geometrically accurate picture tube to minimize contrast-sapping ambient light reflections. The set offers a host of inputs and a set of audio/video outputs for integration with an audio/video receiver. Features like dynamic focus, digital color transient improvement, and digital luminance transient improvement work hand-in-hand with velocity-scan modulation and a digital comb filter to produce rich, detailed images free of picture noise and artifacts.
Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper 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. Dynamic Focus ensures accurate side-to-side focus, aligning the red, green, and blue color beams in the center of the screen.
The C27F43's 3-line comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).
The set pumps out stereo audio with a muscular 10 watts per channel from both inputs and broadcast programming. A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console.
The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, an on timer, any-key power-on, and auto clock set through XDS (Extended Data Service) functionality.
