Enjoy a breathtaking viewing experience when watching television programming and DVD movies with the 46-inch Akai PT46DL10 HD-ready DLP television. Built for those who want an affordable large screen TV, the PT46DL10 has a built-in NTSC tuner for standard over-air programming, and it displays HDTV channels and signals when connected to an optional receiver or compatible cable/satellite set-top box. DLP (which stands for Digital Light Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems can't match. While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems.
The PT46DL10 has a 1280 x 760-pixel resolution, 600 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and a 1200:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) A 3D Y/C comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image.
SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass, and this set produces 15 watts of power per channel (for 30 watts total). It offers the following connection options:
- Composite AV (RCA): 2 in (1 front)
- S-Video: 2 in (1 front)
- Component video: 2 in
- DVI: 1 in
- HDMI: xx in
- PC VGA: 1 in
- Subwoofer: 1 out
Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device. This universal standard for connecting flat-panel monitors is also used for data projectors, plasma displays, and digital TVs.
