Astar LTV-2701 27" LCD HDTV

Perfect for watching your favorite standard and high-definition TV programs in smaller rooms, the 27-inch Astar LTV-2701 HD-ready LCD TV can also double as a PC monitor. The LTV-2701 features sleekly modern lines and a table stand, and it also includes wall-mounting hardware. It features a built-in, 216-channel CATV/NTSC tuner and can receive high-definition (ATSC) broadcasts from an optional HD tuner. It also pumps out great sound from the two side-mounted speakers that provide 10 watts per channel (20 watts total power)

This set has a 16:9 aspect ratio that's great for high-definition television programming and widescreen movies, and is capable of displaying 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i video formats. It features an 1280 by 720-pixel resolution, 170-degreee viewing angle, fast 16 ms (millisecond) video response rate, 550 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 600:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The 2D Y/C comb filter helps to improve detail, clean up image outlines, and eliminate extraneous colors. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection--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. Other features include a sleep timer, picture freeze, PC picture-in-picture, multiple-language on-screen display, V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning, MTS/SAP stereo output, and auto power shutdown. It offers the following video and audio connections:

* Composite AV (RCA) In: 2
* S-Video In: 1
* Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
* DVI In: 1
* RF In: 1
* VGA PC input: 1
* PC Audio In: 1
