Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for stylish entertainment in the kitchen or office, Panasonic's vivid yet compact TC-11LV1 includes both a flat, 11-inch LCD screen and a DVD player as well. The unit's widescreen (16:9) dimensions are perfect for viewing DVDs in their native aspect ratios, and you can immerse yourself with room-filling music and sound effects by routing the unit's Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround output to a compatible audio/video receiver and speaker system (though you'll need an optional minijack-to-Toslink optical cable for that).

The 854 x 480-pixel TC-11LV1 uses several picture-improving technologies. An onboard 3D Y/C digital comb filter enhances its resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl. Active Light Control circuitry automatically detects the brightness levels of the input signal and adjusts the backlight accordingly, enhancing brightness levels for both light and dark scenes. Finally, Active System Control works with Active Light Control to adjust the video signal according to the image contrast, adding greater brightness to bright scenes and more depth to darker ones.

You can connect the set to a cable signal or VCR through a rear-panel RF coaxial video jack, and the set's auto channel programming will scan for any available video signals, which you can manually edit afterward. A single rear-panel set of AV inputs simplifies hookup with a camcorder, game console, or VCR with stereo analog audio inputs and a choice of composite- or S-video jacks.

Parental locks block access to specific channels through password protection, and a headphone/earphone jack allows private listening.

What's in the Box
TV/DVD combo, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, a warranty card, AC power adapter, AC power cord, and a service-center list.

Product Description
Panasonic's latest digital television innovation brings home theater enjoyment to a desktop, tabletop or vanity. The unique TC-11LV1 is a full-featured, super bright, 16:9 widescreen LCD television with a built-in DVD player. A graceful balance of form and function, its design is as astounding as the brilliant, razor-sharp pictures it delivers. The TC-11LV1 boasts an incredible brightness level, and a contrast ratio of 500:1. The TC-11LV1 joins a line of Panasonic desktop LCD TVs and unique, desktop combination LCD TV/DVD players.The TC-11LV1's sleek profile disguises a built-in, progressive scan DVD player and two built-in speakers. It displays brilliant, incredibly sharp images on an 11-inch screen. The screen's 16:9 aspect ratio lets viewers enjoy the full impact of a DVD movie in the cinematic format in which it was intended to be seen. The LCD screen also features a low-reflection screen coating. The entire unit tilts up and down to adjust the viewing angle. The TC-11LV1 also features a 181-channel tuner. A built-in progressive scan converter enhances NTSC signals by progressively scanning the television picture. The result is a remarkably sharp and detailed picture, with no visible scan lines. Active Light Circuitry automatically detects the brightness levels of the input signal and adjusts the backlight accordingly, providing an expanded dynamic range from black to white peak. Active System Control technology dynamically adjusts the video signal according to image contrast. Working in tandem with Active Light Control, it adds brilliance to bright scenes and brings more depth to dark ones. The resulting vivid images promise a powerful viewing experience. The TC-11LV1 also features a built-in Dolby Digital Surround decoder as well as DTS Out, allowing users to experience the same 360-degree surround sound effect that's enjoyed in many movie theaters. And, of course, users can also enjoy their favorite music CDs with the TC-11LV1's DVD player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing DVD player and LCD screen, July 16, 2003

By	Paul A Bigelow - See all my reviews

Hello,

This is one well thought out piece of equipment. DVDs load and
play well. The remote works well and is convenient. What's
really amazing about this unit is that unlike many LCD screens
this one can actually provide pretty satisfactory black levels.
As a result, the picture looks *great*, not just "good for an
LCD screen".

Using the "Avia" test/set up DVD this unit performs quite well.
Black levels can be accurately set, Gray scale tracking is quite
good, color accuracy is also quite good. The backlight control
is very adjustable so the LCD looks great in all lighting
conditions and the black levels are appropriate.

Despite what the manual says, this player can actually playback
some DVD-Rs. Four of the five DVD-Rs I have load and play
correctly.

The tuner also works well and has MTS stereo and SAP function.
No closed captioning. Using cable TV produces a very pleasing
picture. The tuner also receives pictures off the air. The

tuner seems to be quite sensitive and all local and some
weaker distant channels are received.

I wish Panasonic had gone just a bit further and incorporated
a radio -- it would have been a complete unit then! Cannot
play MP3 discs.

The TC-11LV1 isn't cheap but it is unique, eye-catching device
that also happens to perform quite well. Highly recommended.
