Manufacturer's Description
FULL HD 1080p RESOLUTION
Displays HDTV programs in full 1920 x 1080p resolution for a more detailed picture.
INTELLIGENT SENSOR
Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG`s “Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for it`s surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption.
AV MODE
The AV Mode optimizes the picture into Cinema, Sports, and game Mode according to the video and audio content. The viewer has the ability to quickly choose the correct mode for the picture they are viewing.
CLEAR VOICE TECHNOLOGY
Automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of human voice frequency range to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells.
ISFccc
This TV contains the detailed calibrations necessary for professional certification by the Imaging Science Foundation. The resulting ISF “day" and “night" modes will then be accessible by the user to experience the best their LG HDTV has to offer.
