Screen size: This flat-panel LCD television has a 42� screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner. This screen size is perfect for viewing from 5.3� to 10.5� away.

Resolution: A 720p resolution means that this television has 720 rows of pixels vertically. The more pixels a TV has, the clearer the images it can produce. The p stands for progressive scan, which means the TV refreshes every row of pixels during each cycle to produce smoother motion and sharper picture than interlaced scan

NTSC tuner: A built-in NTSC tuner allows you to view standard analog television broadcasts through your television without a separate cable box.

ATSC tuner: The ATSC tuner means that you can enjoy over-the-air digital channels and theater quality audio (with a separate HD antenna) without the need for a digital antenna.

QAM tuner: The QAM tuner gives this TV the capability to receive free in-the-clear digital programming.

Aspect ratio: A width to height pixel ratio of 16:9 means this TV has a widescreen aspect ratio, which accurately recreates the dimensions in which HD programming and many feature films are shot.

Inputs: Using the 2 available HDMI inputs, you can experience high definition audio and video up to 720p. Also available are 2 component video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 composite video input, 1 PC input, and 1 RF input.

SRS TruSurround XT audio: SRS TruSurround XT creates a 3D wall of sound that moves past the physical width of the TV so the listener no longer needs to sit directly in the middle of the couch to hear best audio effect. TruSurround XT also lifts dialogue out of the chaos of sound and provides deep bass.

ENERGY STAR� qualified: Circuit City is proud to offer our customers products with the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR qualified products and practices help you save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE.

  • Picture-in-picture
  • Picture-in-picture: No While there are many permutations of this feature, all indicate the ability to display more than one picture on the same screen. Most often, this requires a separate video source, such as a DVD player or tuner, to produce the second picture.

  • Flat-panel technology
  • Flat-panel technology: LCD flat panel These can be either plasma or LCD. LCDs tend to be brighter, use less energy, and are all but immune to damage from static images. Plasma TVs typically cost less than comparably sized LCDs, offer better contrast, and have no issues with "motion blur."

  • Widescreen
  • Widescreen: Yes Older displays are often referred to by a ratio: 4:3. I.e., they’re 4 parts wide and 3 parts tall. Today’s widescreen displays are 16:9, allowing us to see movies with narrower or even no black bars on the top and bottom of the picture.

  • Maximum viewing angles
  • Maximum viewing angles: H:178 / V:178 Because not all seats can be directly in front of the TV, how clearly you can see a TV from the side, or even when standing up, may be a factor in your home. The wider the viewing angle, the more clearly you’ll be able to see the TV from any position.

  • 3:2 film correction
  • 3:2 film correction: Yes Video uses 30 full frames per second to create the illusion of motion, but film uses 24 frames per second. This disparity in frame rates can give movies an unnatural look. 3:2 correction compensates for this by adding the missing frames.

  • Response time
  • Response time: 5ms Unlike plasma, LCD TVs have physical pixels that move to pass and block light. The ability to do this quickly (8 milliseconds and less) plays a part in reducing blurring when displaying fast motion.
