Amazon.com Product Description
Large enough to "wow" you but compact enough for modest-sized homes and offices, Panasonic's PT-43LC14 high-definition liquid-crystal projection TV offers a perfectly flat, 43-inch display in a widescreen (16:9) dimension that's perfect for viewing DVDs and DTV movies in their native aspect ratios. The foot-deep set offers a total of 12 separate inputs, including 4 component-video inputs, a HDMI digital video input for a direct-digital connection with a DTV set-top box, and 1 PC input capable of VGA, SVGA, or compressed XGA resolution (1 rear, 1 front). A handy PCMCIA/SD Memory Card slot lets you hook up your computer for viewing a digital photo slide show.

The set offers a native resolution of 1,280 x 720 alongside high, 400 cd/m2 brightness ensures vivid, exacting images from DVD players and other devices. What's more, Panasonic's Progressive Scan Doubler will upconvert standard interlaced (non-progressive) broadcast and auxiliary signals to flicker-free, 480p resolution.

The PT-43LC14 is considerably less bulky than most rear-projection televisions and consumes less energy. Further, LCD displays don't suffer from misconvergence or flicker, like their CRT counterparts. The Panasonic multimedia display incorporates thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, also known as active matrix, to improve color reproduction, eliminate ghosting, and boost response speed. A matching stand, the TY-43LC14C (shown), is sold separately.

Two-tuner picture-in-picture with split-screen display lets you view 2 programs at once by dividing the screen in half down the middle. Each program is shown at full height, with one program on the left side and the other on the right.

Movie sources get their due with Panasonic's 3:2 pulldown reversal feature, Progressive Cinema Scan. This enhancement compensates for motion artifacts that sometimes result from the telecine process that's used to convert film's 24-frames-per-second to an NTSC-friendly 60 frames per second. Other picture-enhancing features include horizontal and vertical edge correction and a motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter, which eliminates "hanging dots" and color rainbow effects in closely spaced patterns.

The set's 2-way stereo speakers are powered by 15 watts per channel, and BBE ViVA HD3D Sound makes sure every program sounds its fullest and liveliest.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Love It.......2006-09-27

I've had this laptop a little over 3 months now. I cant complain about it at all. I've been enjoying it!! Due to me using a desktop computer for years, it took a while for me to get used to the keyboard. I never could get used to using a touch pad so I bought a mouse, haha! Overall, Im enjoying this computer.

5 out of 5 stars Easy to use.......2006-07-13

I was going to buy a DVD burner but instead got the laptop with the burner in it. I had no trouble hooking the MX 6440 up to my older desk top and tranfering over 4000 photos and burning them to a DVD. I will probably never buy another desk top unit.

4 out of 5 stars Like it so far, afte a month.......2006-07-04

Looked all over for sub-$900 unit with 1Gig and 100Meg+, and 64-bit processor. Never considered a Gateway, til I saw the beautiful screen, noticeably better than the HPs, etc. I'd say as good as a Sony screen. I actually like the keyboard, just a preference thing, though others appear not to like it very much. One note is to see the units with dual-core processors...they've dropped a few hundred in the past month since I bought this. Again, though, this unit is real nice for the price.

4 out of 5 stars I love my new notebook!.......2006-06-04

A month ago my pc bit the big one. I play a lot of games online, so I need some power to really get into it. After deciding that a laptop would be much better for my work, I went that route thinking that I had said goodbye to good gaming forever. I quickly found out the opposite, the laptop rules for the games that I play! It comes with a good graphics card, and lot of ram, and a decent processor. I am very pleased with how this computer is working. I'm only on day two, so it might change, but I'd say for the price, I'm in love with my new gateway!
