Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The C32V28's 32-inch flat, high-definition, fine-pitch picture tube offers the highest resolution capability possible for viewing of HD content material in 1080i, 480p, or 600p SVGA formats. The fine-pitch picture tube (with Invar mask) provides the sharpest and clearest picture possible. An outboard set-top box is required for high-definition broadcast reception. The set's 3D Y/C comb filter combines the adaptive digital processing of a 3-line digital comb filter with 3-D motion detection. Doing so eliminates hanging dots and color noise on stationary images and reduces overall picture noise and 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).

Two-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) makes it possible to watch a second channel in the PIP inset screen while watching the main channel on the full screen, while aspect-ratio correction displays movies in their original widescreen format (16:9) or in regular TV format (4:3). Scan-velocity modulation dynamically varies the scanning speed of the electron beam to create clear, well-defined images for the sharpest picture possible. Dynamic Focus keeps red, green, and blue color beams accurately aligned.

Other features include color temperature control, Gemstar Guide Plus+ Gold Premium (an onscreen program guide), and built-in stereo speakers backed by 5 watts each. Input and output jacks include two RGB (XGA, SVGA, VGA modes) inputs, two high-resolution component-video inputs (Y, PB, PR), one RF input, three sets of S-video inputs, three AV inputs, one AV output, two RJ-11 (phone jack) ports, and one G-link terminal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Useful TV, July 7, 2003

After looking at a host of tube HDTVs, I chose the Zenith C32V28 as the only reasonably priced model that allowed full use of the digital circuitry: I was able to conveniently display a computer output at a reasonable (800x600) resolution. I can permanently connect a dedicated PC in the back, and can connect my laptop to the front. The only disappointment: you can't put the computer display in a PIP window. As a TV, the Zenith has a great picture (the factory color presets were too saturated for me, but can be adjusted), good but not excellent sound, and a good array of controls and features. I wish there were 2 HDTV level inputs instead of one, so you could connect a non-interlaced DVD player as well as HDTV. Overall, a good buy for the money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Defective picture tube, June 25, 2003

Shortly after hooking it up to the cable box, I noticed a translucent blue green bloch about 3 inches in diameter in the upper left corner of the screen. I tried different sources (dvd) and various settings, but it didn't change anything.

Aside from that, I simply could not adjust the picture such that the colors looked as good as my old sony analog tv which I had running beside it for comparison. The difference in resolution was very noticable, however the color on the zenith was inferior (in my opinion) to the sony (especially on skin tones).
