Amazon.com Product Description High-definition viewing will take your breath away--and so will this high-quality, high-value, high-definition Olevia LCD TV. The widescreen, 32-inch LT32HV is perfect for style- and budget-conscious home theater buffs looking to integrate it with any of a range of video sources, from DTV set-top receivers to DVD players and VCRs. More than just a high-quality TV, the set's PC inputs make it equally suitable for home offices. The 1,366 x 768 (WXGA) LT32HV is even upgradeable to full-fledged HDTV status: you can replace its NTSC tuner module with an ATSC/DTV-capable tuner at a future date, improving the TV's already-excellent use of space. See further down this page for more explanation of Super-IPS versus competing LCD technologies.

A stunningly attractive black-and-charcoal bezel frames the high-quality flat-panel screen. Super-IPS (super-in-plane-switching) technology heightens color saturation, broadens viewing angles, sharpens images, boosts response time, and minimizes the visible color shift and distortion from any angle, resulting in exceptional, 178-degree viewing angles (for excellent picture quality from any seat in the room), a vivid 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and an incredible 8 ms response time for seamless, ghost-free, full-motion images with even the most demanding video games and action films. The TV also boasts an impressive brightness rating of 800 cd/m2.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios. The TV's thin profile--just 4.6 inches--makes it easy to attach the set to a wall using an optional VESA-standard mounting kit (model WM-15D).

The LT32HV performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

A 3D Y/C digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

The set has connections to spare, sporting a pair of HD-capable component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i), analog and digital PC inputs (15-pin D-Sub VGA and DVI-I with HDCP), and 3 each S-video and composite-video inputs. When connected to a PC using the analog input (monitor cable supplied), the TV functions as a high-quality multimedia display with the ability to simultaneously show TV or DVD movies on half the screen while letting you surf the Internet and access e-mail or PC documents on the other half. Dual built-in NTSC TV tuners permit split-screen, multi-image tiling, and picture-in-picture (PIP) viewing.

A pair of speakers driven by 15 watts each deliver high-quality sound. Want to enhance the sound from your movies and TV programs? Feed the set's dedicated subwoofer output to a stand-alone powered subwoofer to enjoy additional punch and an further degree of realism from your movies and music.

Other features include a built-in alarm clock, a sleep timer, V-Chip parental controls, auto dialogue tone correction, auto volume leveling (minimizing drastic swings in listening level between program and commercial), simulated surround sound, favorite channel, last-channel recall, closed captioning, and a multilingual menu accommodating English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Super-IPS and How LCD Technology Works A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel is made up of liquid crystal material, which arranges itself to either let light pass through or not. Each pixel contains the three primary colors; red, green and blue. Traditional Liquid Crystal material allows for direct viewing, but at wide viewing angles the image is distorted.

What is Super-IPS? Super-IPS (super in-plane switching) technology is a collaborative technology between LG. Philips LCD, Philips Consumer Electronics, Hitachi and Zenith. Super-IPS (Super In-Plane Switching) solves the problems outlined above by using a switching mode that keeps all of the molecules in the plane of the display at all times so that light passing through the display at an angle is not treated differently than light passing straight through the display. As a result, brightness, contrast and color rendition are much more constant regardless of viewing location.
While this Olevia model uses Super-IPS technology, some competing models use VA mode LCD technology. VA mode can offer higher contrast ratios when viewed straight on, but Super-IPS offers less color shift and higher contrast ratios as the viewing angles go up.
