Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Using groundbreaking display technology, Zenith's 50-inch P50W38H high-altitude plasma HDTV delivers superior image clarity, color, and brightness in a panel that's less than 4 inches thick. An extremely high contrast ratio of 1000:1, brightness measuring 1000 cd/m2, and a wide 160-degree view angle mean this display offers vivid viewing from just about any seat. A thicker display than standard plasmas and other internal components enable this TV for use in high-altitude locations.

The unit's widescreen (16:9) dimensions are perfect for watching DVDs and widescreen TV broadcasts in their native aspect ratios (viewing TV broadcasts requires an external TV tuner such as a VCR and an HDTV decoder). The P50W38H also sports DVI and RGB connections for use as a giant monitor for your computer. Flexible picture-in-picture lets you watch one program in a small window while viewing another. The P50W38H features intelligent image scaling, using a Rembrandt (O-Plus) scan converter that seamlessly converts TV video data to PC formats without distortion or cropping of images in either 4:3 or 16:9 formats, and also lets you zoom in with its advanced zoom capabilities.

The display uses both progressive scan and Faroudja DCDi deinterlacing to produce a high-quality image. It packs a native resolution of 1366 x 768p, and can accept NTSC, HD, VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA input signals.

A set of 20-watt (10 watts per channel) speakers are available as optional accessories, or you can connect the unit to your existing audio system. The P50W38H features an audio volume leveler to avoid those unexpected loud moments, Closed Captioning when mute is activated, and gradual volume increase for more pleasant transitions from mute. It can play SAP (secondary audio program) audio, when available. The P50W38H features a remote control with onscreen equalizer, multilingual menus, and a sleep timer.

A single panel of AV inputs, which Zenith calls the "Jack Pack," lets you connect the display to such inputs as a DVD player, VCR, video game console, or a PC or Macintosh computer. The Jack Pack features high-resolution component-video inputs, S-Video in, composite-video in, and for connection to a computer, both an RGB (15-pin type-D) input and a DVI (Digital Video Interface) jack with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copy protection. Also included are two audio inputs--left and right RCA jacks and 1 phone plug connector--as well as left/right audio out and an RS-232c serial port for connecting external controls.

An optional wall mount or table/desk mount/pedestal are available, and the unit features a built-in shock-absorbing glass damper for up to a 20-degree tilt.
