Summary
LG's Exclusive XD Engine: Six distinct processes contribute to picture improvement. LG's XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail and enhancing color as well as reducing signal noise. This total solution results in cinema-like high resolution images.
Super IPS Technology: Reduces common distortion and blurring caused by fast motion video and also provides one of the industry's widest viewing angles (178°).
High Definition TV: Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM Clear Tuners allow this TV to receive over-the-air digital broadcast signals and unscrambled digital cable.
