RCA’s 27-inch, widescreen LCDX2722W will display standard-definition and high-definition television signals with resolutions ranging from standard 480i (interlaced) to 480p, 720p (progressive), and full 1080i. For high-definition signals, connect the set to an optional DTV set-top box, or use it with your progressive-scanning (480p) DVD player.
The screen itself is a mere .25 inches wide, and RCA’s Bi-Sonic speakers flank the widescreen display for spacious sound with wide stereo separation. The set’s 170-degree viewing angles ensure amazing picture quality from virtually any location, so the whole family can savor the set’s rich images. The LCDX2722W’s CinemaScreen high-gloss black chassis lets the set disappear into the darkness of your living room, leaving only the brilliant, high-contrast (500:1) screen for theater-like nighttime movie viewing.
With a native resolution of 1,280 x 720, the set is equipped to display both standard- and high-definition signals (480p, 720p, and 1080i). It uses built-in image scaling to fit 1080i signals to its progressively scanned 720 horizontal lines. A DVI-HDTV input provides a direct-digital connection to a digital set-top box or compatible PC, while the unit’s integrated analog NTSC tuner lets you enjoy off-air TV and cable programs. A VGA port facilitates connection to a laptop or desktop computer.
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), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually “spec” higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).
The LCDX2722W’s horizontal and vertical 170-degree viewing angle lets you and your family or friends view the full picture whether standing, sitting, or lying on the floor.
The LCDX2722W includes state-of-the-art video processing with an image deinterlacer that converts analog signals to a progressive display, improving both resolution and image clarity. While not as fast as LCD sets come, the LCDX2722W’s 25 millisecond response time will deliver smooth, seamless images from most video sources.
