Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Zenith's massive, 60-inch high-definition projection monitor offers complete compatibility with progressive-scan DVD players and digital TV set-top box decoders. Its staggering 1,200 lines of horizontal resolution display either 540p or 1080i formats and benefits from a host of Zenith technologies, including a sophisticated up-conversion process for rendering 480i (such as a DVD player's RCA composite-video outputs) as high-resolution 540p. The R60V26 tops previous Zenith models with an enhanced HD lens system, which improves image brightness and focus. A computer-configured, 9-point digital-focus array actually looks at 117 points, interpolating between points to yield an image that is razor sharp from center to edge. The set's image is further sharpened by its .52 mm screen pitch.

The R60V26 also offers 3:2 pull-down detection, which detects and synchs film to video for smooth theaterlike pictures. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pull-down digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame accurate picture on your TV. Most HDTVs perform up-conversion (or line doubling) of analog signals to simulate a high-definition picture, and sometimes this process introduces artifacts that appear as pixilated scenes due to the digital conversion. The R60V26's improved HD driver increases both vertical and horizontal resolution to produce images that are free from picture artifacts. True HD signals are not affected by this process, which leaves them as true to life as possible.

Advanced scan-velocity modulation improves the definition at picture edges, sharpening 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. Jacks include three RF (radio-frequency) inputs (for VCR, cable boxes), two high-resolution component-video inputs, two S-video inputs, one S-video output, two sets of AV inputs, one set of AV outputs, and one set of variable analog-audio outputs so you can control levels from your TV's remote even when you're listening through your amplifier or AV receiver.

Product Description

This fine pitch screen Zenith's projection television features a .52mm screen pitch yielding sharper images and finer detail, which represents significant improvement over previous models. The 9-point Digital Focus Array system actually looks at 117 points, since it interpolates between points, yielding an image that is sharp from center to edge. Enhanced HD lens system improves brightness and focus over previous 25 series and provides the most natural looking and true-to-life picture possible.
