5 Hitachi UltraVision Director s Series LCD Flat Panel HDTV 37HLX99 Original LCD Technology Conventional LCD Advanced SuperIPS Conventional LCD Flat Panel Signal Response Hitachi ASIPS Signal Response Key Director s Series LCD Features Important Director s Series LCD Features Advanced Super InPlane Switching Pure Color Wide Advanced Super InPlane Switching (ASIPS) delivers unmatched picture quality. Unlike conventional fl at panel LCD, Hitachi Advanced Super IPS elements twist intheplane of the panel, allowing wider viewing angles with purer colors. Motion Overdrive for Clear Fast Action The Motion Overdrive Circuit in this LCD panel emphasizes the leading edge and the trailing edge of an image signal to closely match the original signal path. The result is a picture with greater precision. Essentially anticipating motion in the video signal, Hitachi Motion Overdrive Circuit technology produces sharper and more detailed pictures in the type of fastaction content typically found in sports programming. 120 Hz Black Insertion with Motion Sharpness AS/IPS technology is engineered to deliver faster than conventional picture refresh rates. Instead of only 60 pictures per second, Hitachi ASIPS doubles the refresh rate to 120 pictures per second. The digital video processor then strategically inserts partially black frames to dramatically sharpen moving images. The increased frequency and black frame insertion gives the Director s Series LCD fl at panel superior performance for motion reproduction. 120 Hz Panel Technology for Fast Action Video HDMI Digital Interface x (3) 16Bit/281 Trillion Color Capability Power Swivel Tabletop Stand 2Year Warranty 1,366 x 768p Display Resolution ASIPS Pure Color Wide Viewing Angle Black Frame Bias Motion Overdrive for Clear Fast Action Adjustable Action Focus Custom Color Temperatures Black & White Color Temperature Adjustable Color Decoder Digital Color Management III PictureMaster HD III Video Processor Quick Start Seamless HDTV and NTSC Tuner Day & Night Picture Memory by Input with Timer Fully Illuminated Roll & Click Remote TV Guide On Screen IPG Auto Color High Aperture Pixel Design Matte Black Finish Film Quality Image Tuning 4:3 Expanded Mode for All TV Signals 16:9 Standard with Zero Overscan Split Screen/Picture in Picture Component Video Inputs x (3) AntiRefl ective Screen CableCARD Compatible Digital Cable Ready (QAM) 20Watt Speaker System Optical Digital Audio Output Discrete IR Codes 63202_Brochure_A 89 9/19/06 11:47:28 AM
