1080p Full HD CineSpeed™ LCD Display -- Today’s highest resolution video content is 1920 x 1080 for over 2,000,000 pixels. A standard 720p HD display has less than 1,000,000 display pixels, and must discard half of the original video content, resulting in decreased picture detail. On the other hand, a 1080p Full HD Display has over 2,000,000 display pixels,

maintaining the full video resolution and clarity. A CineSpeed™ Display has an LCD Response Time of 8ms or less to ensure that the display is also fast enough for high quality home theater.

DynaLight™ Dynamic Backlight -- Utilizes advanced histogram image processing to monitor the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. This precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of backlight control and can create a Dynamic Contrast that is 7 to 10 times that of the original panel

contrast. The result is a powerful picture with deep blacks for increased detail and incredible depth.

Gaming Mode -- Enhances the gaming experience by reducing game controller delay. The Gaming Mode allows the video signal to bypass select picture circuitry to shorten the overall signal to screen time. This provides an approximate 33 millisecond response improvement for 60Hz models and 48 millisecond response improvement for 120 Hz models virtually eliminating controller delay.

High-Res PC Input (15-Pin D-Sub) -- For connecting to computers, perfect

for the true PC Gamer who likes a big screen. In the world of the video game

enthusiast, the better the view, the better the experience
