Editorial Review:
Product Description
PV-D4744S DVD/VCR Combination Deck outputs a high-density progressive DVD video signal rather than the traditional interlaced signal. When connected to a digital television with 480p display capability or better, the result is a clearer DVD picture without bothersome, jagged-edge motion artifacts.The impressive memory capacity of a DVD disc means that a movie may be recorded in as many as eight different languages or contain subtitles for up to 32 languages. A DVD's capacity also gives a film's director the opportunity to include multiple camera angles for the same scenes or to include a series of different endings!Play DVDs, CD-R/RW2 discs and VHS tapes, as well as MP33 and JPEG3 files. 4-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VCR offers high fidelity stereo sound and outstanding picture quality in both SP and SLP modes. This device fits right in your home theater system.
Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's silver, full-featured PV-D4744S integrates a high-quality, progressive-scan DVD player and four-head, hi-fi VCR. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the PV-D4744S stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion tape play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the unit records and plays back stereo audio tracks. The unit even lets you record a TV show while watching a DVD at the same time. By receiving the Extended Data Service signal from your local PBS channel (where available), the PV-D4744S sets its own clock and date. Furthermore, a 24-hour back-up system saves the settings and, in the event of a power outage, resets them automatically when the power is restored.

Front audio/video inputs make it easy to hook up your camcorder or gaming device. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured AV receiver. The player simulates surround sound from DVD programs for a spacious effect from any two speakers.

Other features include auto VCR head cleaning and tape-position display, DVD repeat play, DVD high-speed smooth-motion scanning (up to 100x normal speed), DVD picture zoom, and a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French). The unit is Energy Star compliant and comes with a universal remote control.

Product Description

The Sony Multiscan E210 is ideal for the corporate user requiring exceptional image performance without sacrificing value or reliability. It's perfect for everything from spreadsheets and finely detailed graphic presentations to browsing the Internet and gaming.

To provide superior contrast and grayscale performance, CPD-E210 screen features a high-contrast black coating. This coating, coupled with the display's vertically flat screen, also help cut glare and washout caused by ambient light. And that reduces eyestrain.

Don't bother looking for anything else but a Sony...........2001-03-01

To sum it up, the Sony E210 is incredible! The colors are vivid, text is sharp and the flat screen is sensational. The picture quality seems to get better each and every time I use my computer. I had a Samsung 700NF before this but had to return it due to a defect. I thought the Samsung was sharp but this Sony blows it away! I did a lot of research before buying the Sony and originally was trying to find something comparable to the Sony without paying the premium price of a Sony. Trust me, the extra cost of a Sony is well worth it!! Follow the old saying, if the price seems too good to be true, then your probably going to get what you pay for. Buy this baby, you will not regret it!

The Best 17" Monitor [for the price] on the market.......2000-10-06

I have always loved Sony monitors, and this one is especially appealing. With a max resolution of 1600x1200, max refresh rates up 120Hz, a perfectly flat screen, and the typical, beautiful, trinitron display, this monitor is only rivalved by the Sony G200 17" in the price range. The On Screen Display has is very easy to use, and is very powerful. It comes with a color profile for Windows 98/2000 and can definately be setup and used in a print or video editing setup. I have used the Viewsonic, Hitatchi, and Princeton monitors in this price range, and there is no comparison at all. This monitor is sharper, has blacker blacks, whiter whites, and the color far more true. I highly recomend this product, and all Sony Monitors.
