Tips & Index

Glossary
100 Hz 100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye. Dolby Surround Pro Logic Literally wraps you in 4-channel sound. it brings your favourite movies to life with all the realism and impact of cinema sound as though you are part of the action. Smart Picture and Sound Controls Keys on the remote control to select predefined picture and sound settings.
