Panasonic's broad TC-22LH30 is a perfectly flat, 22-inch liquid-crystal display in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs and HDTV broadcasts in their native aspect ratios. Intended for high-end home-theater use, the unit's 1,280 x 720-pixel resolution is enhanced by a motion-adaptive 3D-Y/C digital comb filter (which improves resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl), a high (500:1) contrast ratio, high peak brightness of 450 candles/square meter, and wide (170-degrees horizontal) viewing angles.

Active Light Control circuitry automatically detects the brightness levels of the input signal and adjusts the backlight accordingly, enhancing brightness levels for both light and dark scenes. The result is expanded dynamic range from black to white peaks, with crisp, natural pictures. Active System Control works in tandem with active light control to adjust the video signal according to the image contrast, further brightening bright scenes and deepening darker ones.

The set's LCD artificial intelligence takes convenience a step further than Panasonic's previous AI technology, providing real-time luminance distribution and boosting gradation in the areas containing the greatest number of image elements. This heightens the perceived depth, detail, and realism of backgrounds behind movie subtitles and of the brightest objects in dark scenes. Panasonic's Pixel controller lets the TC-22LH30 accept a variety of input signals and reproduces images with exceptional precision; it also handles aspect-ratio switching between 4:3 and 16:9 (letterbox) signals. <p> For direct digital quality and convenience, the TC-22LH30 is one of the first sets to offer an HDMI audio/video connection for hookup with a compatible DTV set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver. HDMI supports both multichannel digital audio transmissions and component-video color spacing for true rendering of high-definition video. It also supports the HDCP copy-protection standard. Using a special adapter cable, the video portion of the HDMI signal is backward-compatible with DVI-HDCP devices.

You also get 2 high-resolution component-video inputs, 2 S-video inputs, and 2 composite-video input with stereo RCA analog audio jacks. A stereo headphone jack fosters private listening, and the monitor also offers internal, 2-way stereo speakers supported by 5.5 watts per channel. The monitor includes a standard, 181-channel NTSC tuner. <p><b>What's in the Box
