With the Sony Wega KE-42TS2, to accommodate a wide variety
of video sources, you'll find four A/V inputs including composite,
S-video, component video, and DVI connections. To help you make
the most of the TV's widescreen design (and to reduce the chance
of image burn-in), Sony included several picture display options.
By stretching and/or zooming a conventional squarish 4:3 program,
you can make it fill up this panel's wide screen. Other image-adjustment
options include color temperature control, and five picture
presets tailored for viewing conditions ranging from watching
a ballgame in bright daytime lighting to savoring a movie at
night with the lights turned low.
Sony's unique "Digital Pixel Generator System" utilizes
cutting-edge digital signal processing technologies to maximize
display performance and reproduce natural, rich images, especially
from high-definition sources. All signals are transmitted and
processed entirely in the digital domain, minimizing picture
degradation.
Equipped with a "CineMotion Reverse 3/2 Pulldown Processing
function" the KE-42TS2 minimizes motion artifacts and optimizes
film-based content from any video input for the purest reproduction
of film-originated sources.
The KE-42TS2 has a display resolution of 1024 x 1024. The DVI-HDTV,
component video and RGB inputs will accept 1080i, 720p, 480i
and 480p, and will display them as 1024 x 1024. All other input
signals will also be displayed as 1024 x 1024.
