HDTV/3D TV News
Sharp’s LC19SB24UW is a 19-inch HDTV LCD television that provides a slim bezel design, high-definition TV solution with a distinctive small footprint. It features a high performance LCD panel for high brightness, a high contrast ratio, low-reflection glare protection and wide viewing angles.
The LC19SB24U includes ATSC/NTSC tuners to receive off-air broadcasts as well as digital cable QAM capability to receive non-scrambled digital cable programming. In addition, the LC19SB24UW is PC compatible, allowing you to plug in your computer and use it as a monitor.
As an HDTV monitor, it is compatible with all 1080i and 720p signals from HDTV sources. An HDMI input provides the latest in digital signal transfer, delivering high quality audio and video over one cable from compatible components.
The LC19SB24UW’s 16:9 aspect ratio (1366 x 768 pixels) displays wide screen programs in their native aspect ratio. This LCD television is very bright, so you can place it virtually anywhere, even near windows, doors and other light sources, and the picture is still vivid. And, a high contrast ratio provides incredible images whether you’re watching dark or bright scenes. The LC19SB24UW’s 60,000-hour lamp life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years.
If you are using an HD DVD player, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don’t forget to purchase the right cables.
This is because most components don’t come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking it will do. But the picture won’t be HD if you using the wrong cable.
No need to pay extra for HDTV or use expensive cables. Your set has an ATSC tuner.
A inexpensive antenna is all you need to receive HDTV.
I receive 10 different HDTV signals from local broadcasters. And it is all FREE!!! The other beauty is that is a true “uncompressed” HDTV signal. Getting HD from cable or satellite is actually a compressed signal that is uncompressed.
The other thing you should know is that all broadcast TV is in 720p or 1080i. (roughly the same quality). Your TV is fine. People buying all these 1080p sets don’t realize that HD is never broadcast in 1080p. To get to 1080p, you have to go to a Blu-Ray DVD and use an HDMI cable or Component cable
