Get ready for the transition to a high-definition world with Panasonic's 34-inch CT34WX53 HDTV-ready set that offers a bright, pinpoint-sharp picture and wide viewing range. The CT34WX53 features a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, DVI input for optimal high-definition video, a motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter, color temperature control, artificial intelligence sound leveling control, and a good range of connection options for DVD players, VCRs, and game consoles. The motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter displays bright colors and action scenes with incredible clarity by minimizing the "color rainbow effect" in closely spaced patterns, compensating for the motion that occurs between fields. Included 10-bit, 60 MHz analog-to-digital image processing boosts conventional grayscale from 256 to 1024, delivering four times as many shades of black and white.
Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view two programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right. High-quality, 8-bit PIP image processing provides 256 levels of gray from black to white in the inset picture for finer image detail.
Progressive Cinema Scan (3:2 pulldown) provides faithful reproduction of film-based materials. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Progressive Cinema Scan digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
This set has a built-in 181-channel tuner, though you'll need an optional HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. It has two 15-watt stereo speakers that can produce virtual surround sound. The BBE ViVA HD3D surround-sound system creates an authentic 3D enhancement effect from stereo speakers and exceptional sound stage imaging, helping to ensure optimal clarity for centrally staged audio material such as dialogue. Artificial intelligence sound control automatically adjusts the volume level on your TV to prevent wide variations in sound between different TV stations and types of programming.
The CT34WX53 has 4 composite A/V inputs (1 front), 3 S-video inputs (1 front), 2 component-video inputs, fixed/variable audio output, and a headphone jack. Used by newer HDTV set-top boxes and DVD players, the DVI-HDCP connection allows the transmission of uncompressed, copy-protected digital content to your high-definition display with stunning image fidelity and clarity.
The lighted disc universal remote can also operate most VCRs, cable boxes, and DVD players. Plus, illuminated buttons make it easy to use in darkened rooms.
