Panasonic model PT 50LC14 multimedia projection display....with stand and remote Panasonic's PT-50LC14 is a shining example of a highly versatile, HD-ready, big-screen TV. With a 50" screen, slender build, great picture, and major connection flexibility, this television has everything you're looking for. First of all, as a rear-projection LCD TV, the PT-50LC14's tabletop design is amazingly slim and lightweight. That makes placement much easier, and means this 83-pound TV takes up a lot less space than traditional analog big-screens! Also, with rear-projection LCD technology, you never experience misconvergence of the red, blue and green portions of a signal; they're always perfectly aligned. And you don't have to worry about the image "burn-in" that marred some older analog big-screens — great news for video gamers. That same rear-projection LCD technology is behind the PT-50LC14's superb, high-definition picture quality. Using built-in "scaling," this TV upconverts every source and displays it as smooth, filmlike 720p progressive-scan video. DVDs look beautiful and high-definition programming will awe you (HDTV reception requires a separate tuner). One of the coolest conveniences on this TV is its PC-friendliness. The PT-50LC14 offers two RGB PC inputs; one is on the side panel, for easy connection of a laptop as needed. Other connection options abound: you get four HD-compatible component video inputs and an HDMI digital audio/video input. That means you can connect quite a few high-definition sources before running out of room! And the PT-50LC14 offers both an SD Card slot and a PCMCIA card slot, for viewing digital photos. Panasonic has thoughtfully included some perks that make for real flexibility. When you're using the TV's picture-in-picture (PIP) function, there are no restrictions on the resolutions of the sources you view; for example, you can simultaneously see the 480p signal being sent from a DVD player and the 1080i signal passed along by an outboard HDTV tuner. Folks who hate black bars of any kind will appreciate the Zoom and Justify modes, which let you re-size aspect ratio to fill your stunning 50" screen. Finally, the user-replaceable lamp has an extra long life of 10,000 hours — much longer than the 5,000-8,000 hours common with other digital big-screen TVs.
