Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy bright, brilliant imagery from high-definition telecasts and your favorite DVD movies with the 42-inch Zenith Z42PX2DH EDTV-ready plasma television, which includes built-in high-definition (ATSC) and 181-channel standard broadcast (NTSC) tuners. With the integrated ATSC tuner, you'll be able to receive off-air high definition broadcasts without the need for an external set-top box. The R57W47C also features a digital cable tuner (QAM), which allows for the reception of digital cable signals that are not scrambled.

With a gas-plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the Z42PX2DH is less than 4 inches deep, perfect for desk placement (on the supplied stand) or wall mounting (with optional mounting kit).

The Z42PX2DH's screen offers 852 x 480p resolution for an extremely detailed image, as well as a 160-degree viewing angle, 1000 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 5000:1 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 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter analyzes consecutive scanning lines within a field as well as the preceding and following fields. This results in improved detail and color purity, a more stable video image, and nearly eliminating dot crawl and color bleeding. Other video features include color temperature adjustment, aspect ratio adjustment, enhanced noise reduction, and a 60,000-hour screen lifetime. It includes such television features as V-Chip parental controls, sleep timer, custom channel labels, and tri-lingual menus (English, French, Spanish).

This TV has four built-in, two-way stereo speakers that produce 15 watts per channel (30 watts total), which can provide SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound. The BBE high-definition audio improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages. It offers the following video and audio connections:

• Composite AV (RCA) In: 2 (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
• RF In: 2
