Zenith Z37LZ5D 37-Inch LCD HDTV

This LCD TV provides a 1366 x 768-pixel native resolution for a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for optimal letterbox movie watching and compatibility with 1080p/720p/480p/480i HD formats. It also offers an extra-wide 178-degree viewing angle, super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time that's great for watching sports, 600 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 1200:1 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 Z37LZ5D 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 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). Other convenience features include three modes of color temperature adjustment, seven modes of aspect ratio adjustment, custom channel labels, on/off and sleep timers, V-Chip parental controls, and tri-lingual menus (English, French, Spanish).

The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies, and it can also provide SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound. It offers the following video and audio connections:

• Composite AV (RCA) In: 1 (1 rear, 1 side)
• Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
• S-Video In: 2 (1 rear, 1 side)
• Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
• HDMI In: 1

• Optical Audio Out: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.
