Product Description
Mitsubishi's WD-52527 is equipped with SmartShutter, Mitsubishi's patented high contrast system that produces images with deep blacks and incredible dark scene detail. SmartShutter improves contrast by four times when compared to standard LCD rear projection systems, thanks to Mitsubishi's proprietary optical technology that utilizes advanced aperture control to reduce light output levels during dark scenes. QuickMotion, Mitsubishi's proprietary quick response LCD drive, generates sharp, crisp, clean images which is especially critical for high motion content such as sports and action scenes. Additionally, a specially formulated LCD coating enables wider viewing angles by producing higher light dispersion from the LCD panels.The WD-52527 boasts 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and features Mitsubishi's Plush720p imaging technology. Plush720p includes an advanced algorithm that creates high-resolution imagery from standard definition digital and analog sources such as DVD and cable TV.This Mitsubishi LCD projection television includes ClearThought technology, making it the easiest to use TV available. ClearThought includes an integrated HDTV tuner with CableCARD slot; NetCommand 5.0, the latest generation of Mitsubishi's home theater system control; all-digital audio which converts every audio signal to digital output; and the TV Guide On Screen electronic program guide. The television is also equipped with two HDMI inputs, two component inputs, an IEEE1394 interface, and an advanced illuminated remote control.
Amazon.com Product Description
You'll enjoy a breathtaking viewing experience from any video source with the amazingly large and bright 52-inch Mitsubishi MicroDisplay WD-52527 high-definition, rear-projection LCD. Featuring a simple, clean design with a compact cabinet (at just 17.8 inches deep), the WD-52527 will fit into virtually any home theater furnishings without crowding the surroundings. It includes dual HD tuners and a wide variety of digital inputs (including two HDMI inputs and two Firewire ports). It's also digital cable ready with the integrated CableCARD slot and incorporates TV Guide's On Screen program guide for easy viewing of what's on today and seven days into the future.

It delivers stunningly bright images thanks to Mitsubishi's proprietary 3LCD light engine and Plush720p imaging technology, which converts lower quality analog to HDTV resolution. The 3LCD technology simultaneously projects three full-time red, green and blue images, so there's no color breakup or "rainbow effect" that may cause eyestrain or visual fatigue.

The WD-52527 has a 1280 x 720-pixel resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, and compatibility with 480i/480p/720p/1080i video sources. It pumps out audio via its integrated 20-watt speaker system (10 watts per two channels) and also offers Mitsubishi's Level Sound Dynamics Limiter features, which evens out the sound of programs--even during loud commercial breaks. A 480-line motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter delivers state-of-the-art detail and color enhancement.

Other convenience features include color temperature controls, full-screen image freeze, two tuner picture-in-picture (PIP), split screen, six 4:3 aspect ratio and two 16:9 aspect ratio picture formats, channel labeling, V-Chip parental controls, and a sleep timer. This set features the following video and audio connections:

Composite AV (RCA): 3 in (1 front), 1 out
S-Video: 3 in (1 front)
Component Video: 2 in
HDMI: 2 in
RF: 2 in
DVI audio: 2 in
Analog audio ouput: 1
Digital audio output: 1 (Coaxial)
Firewire: 2

The IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire or i.Link) multimedia connection enables simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth real-time audio, video and data networking between a Mitsubishi TV and other consumer electronics products such as camcorders and DVHS VCRs. With IEEE 1394 compatible products and systems, users can record SD or HD digital video over a plug-and-play A/V network.

Proprietary Mitsubishi Features
This television includes several exclusive Mitsubishi technologies that enhance its picture as well as ease of use.

Mitsubishi's exclusive LCD light engine features SmartShutter to improve contrast ratio by four times for blacker blacks and more shades of dark gray. Large Aperture Optics improve its efficiency by assuring that more of the available light reaches the screen. They also provide a larger "sweet spot" so that the image on screen is clear and low in distortion.
Mitsubishi's Plush720p technology precisely scales and upconverts 480i analog TV signals to HDTV resolution. It uses proprietary algorithms developed in Mitsubishi's R&D labs that compensate for frame rate and uses 3:2 pulldown, resulting in standard-definition (SD) images that approach the clarity of true HDTV, especially when the sources are DVDs, digital cable and digital satellite signals.
For sports fans and action movie junkies, QuickMotion is an advanced high speed LCD technology that drives each pixel faster, resulting in speedier response time for crisper, less blurry images.
Rather than provide standard color and tint controls, Mitsubishi's PerfectColor technology enables you to adjust the screen's color palette with six independent color controls (magenta, red, yellow, green, cyan, and blue).
Finally, the ClearThought set of features includes all-digital audio output (which converts analog audio signals to digital audio) and the NetCommand single-remote control home theater operation system (which allows you to set up and control components using simple on-screen icons). It also provides the TV Guide On Screen 8-day program guide system, which makes it easy to sort through all the television listings to find your favorite channels.

Tech Talk
A microdisplay television typically offers a large screen with a cabinet that's deeper than standard LCD and plasma screens, but far more compact than old-school cathode-ray television (CRTs). This rear-projection TV projects red, green, and blue light that's filtered through a pixel-filled microchip color wheel and directed onto a digital micromirror device (DMD), a chip with millions of hinged, microscopic mirrors attached, which switches on and off up to 5,000 times a second. The reflected light is directed through a lens and onto a screen, creating an image. Unlike rear-projection CRT sets, all microdisplays can get quite bright without losing detail, so they're perfectly watchable in brightly lit rooms.

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Product Description

Lexar's newest product, JumpDrive Mercury, includes a new integrated capacity meter that helps users solve the common problem of knowing how much storage space is available on their drive. The easy-to-read onboard meter saves users time by letting them quickly and easily gauge exactly how much storage space is left on their USB JumpDrive without even plugging it into a computer. Based on Electronic Paper Display (EPD) technology created by E Ink Corporation, the display is a paper-thin, shatter proof form that is easy to read, and does not rely on power to maintain capacity information.

Best one out there........2007-03-22

THis is a great drive for your money if you use Mac, Windows, and Linux. I use all of them and it works great, I do wish that they had an 8 Gig versions out, but this one will do for now.

Expensive, and not 2 GB.......2007-03-16

The flash drive is great, and works fine, the onlty bad thing is that it is not 2 GB, it is 1.8 GB and where is the rest... I have no idea even if you would do formating the flash drive still the rest of the memory will be only on description on the package. And comparing now the prices it is expensive. But beside those things the jump drive is cute and work very good.

Top notch.......2007-03-09

Stick it in and you're ready to go. Fast data transfer. Memory meter is the icing on the cake.

Lexar JDMC2GB-431 2 GB JumpDrive Mercury USB Flash Drive.......2007-01-12

I like this flash drive a lot. It seems to operate quickly, displays the level of storage being used, and was a good value.

Money's worth.......2007-01-09

I have been using this product since only last month and I am happy with it. The capacity meter actaully works and is very helpful.
