Summary
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture. True 178� viewing angle with consistent contrast and color - even while viewing at the most extreme angles. Super IPS Technology reduces common distortion and blurring caused by fast motion video and also provides one of the industry's widest viewing angles. LG Simplink allows for convenient control of other LG SimpLink products using the existing HDMI connection. Experience your digital music (MP3) and photo (JPEG) library with USB Media Host. Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. LG's XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail and enhancing color as well as reducing signal noise. This total solution results in cinema-like high resolution images.
