The digital comb filter separates colors and eliminates distortion to give you a razor-sharp picture with outstanding clarity. Movie special effects will sound even more powerful with the 14-watt built-in stereo amplifier. It weighs a relatively light 70.5 pounds and is wall-mountable.

- Progressive scan: Also called sequential scanning, a progressive-scan system displays the entire image--providing all the horizontal lines per frame, rather than every other line--once every 60th of a second. This method reduces flicker and increases stability. Progressive-scan viewing requires a compatible digital TV.
- Component video: Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections.

 Unbelievable Value August 24, 2004

Having owned a competitors plasma in the past, I must say the AKAI definitely outshines it. I went a local retailer and compared picture quality. The AKAI stood out to a point where I thought it might even be high definition. The picture is extremely bright and clear and I am very happy with my purchase.

This plasma TV sold under the little-known Akai name is actually a rebranded, old-generation plasma screen made by south korea's Samsumg, which still has a reputation for questionable quality control. The buttons on the display unit I played with felt loose and unresponsive, and the picture quality was very disappointing. Anything darker than 50% gray became indistinuishable, and colors are washed out and unpleasant. To me it's incredible this unit costs so much more than superior offerings from Gateway and Viewsonic.
