Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Zenith's B27A74R console television set offers a 27-inch screen, stereo speakers, and a host of image-improving technologies, from comb filtering to color-temperature control and black-level expansion. The set's comb filter electronically preserves the original image sharpness through controlled separation of the video signal's chrominance (color information) and luminance (picture detail information). The resultant picture can provide up to 330 lines of resolution when provided with a RF source. With an unmodulated audio-video input (such as that from a DVD player, camcorder, or VCR's component-video output), picture resolutions of higher than 500 lines can be achieved.

Black-level expansion/white-level compression automatically adjusts the contrast ratio between black and white levels to produce blacker blacks, whiter whites, and extraordinarily sharp edges with no loss of picture detail or subtle shading (on NTSC signals only). And, using the universal remote control, you can select either "warm" or "cool" presets to control the ambiance of the picture. A feature called SEQ Front Surround electronically expands the listening field, making the stereo speakers seem even further separated. Through SEQ, audio sounds more three-dimensional, with increased clarity. SEQ simulates the surround experience by adding dramatic impact to stereo programs without the use of additional surround-sound speakers.

This set offers stereo multichannel television sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. The set's MTS decoder also offers second audio programming (or SAP), an additional channel usually used for an alternate-language track. V-chip parental control is a programmable feature that uses the U.S. standard content-advisory system to restrict viewing of specific programs or program types. Auto programming automatically locks all active stations into channel scan.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb, January 7, 2003

By A Customer

My brother, sisters and I purchased this television for my parents for christmas this year and we and they love it! This television is so nice that I am selling my 32" flat screen JVC television that my fiance and I purchased in November and are going to be replacing it with this Zenith console television. Zenith has an excellent reputation and the design of the console compliments and enriches any style furniture that you may have. I am going to go and pick up mine later this week and I cannot wait, I feel like santa is coming all over again. If you want to buy a piece of furniture and a television then this is the one to buy! There are none like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific picture and sound!, December 27, 2002

By A Customer

After delivery, it was easy to set-up the TV to cable and start watching the great picture. I was pleasantly suprised that the commercials, not only didn't blare louder than the programs, but commercials actually seemed to air at a lower volume than the programs. This is a Christmas gift for the parents/grandparents. They are delighted with the picture, sound, and the beautiful wood cabinet. They wanted a console and they are very, very happy with this gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buying experience, April 15, 2004

By A Customer

My last console TV was also a Zenith which I have had for several years and never had to have it worked on. But as we all aged, things do wear out and so I was in the market for a new TV. I was wanting pretty darn much one like I had. In shopping around I found out that console TV's were hard to come by. Being new to the internet, I decided to try this to find what I wanted. I did. Amazon.com not only had the brand I wanted but had it in a console TV at a great price. The whole buying experience from start to finish was just unreal. Not only that, but I once I pluged it in I also have a wonderful pitcure and a great looking cabinet. I'm so happy that I got brave enough to try something new to get what I wanted, wonderful product, great price,and great service from Amazon.com.
Thank You
