RCA Shows Off New TV's At HDTV Summit
Monday, March 14 @ 07:47:29 PST
At this years HDTV Summit, RCA introduced seven new SDTV televisions and 23 new Scenium and HDTV televisions.
Seven RCA brand direct-view models in 27- and 32-inch screen sizes will comprise the SDTV line-up with availability starting this summer. The SDTV models incorporate a built-in over-the-air ATSC tuner/decoder that will receive and display any of the 18 different digital TV formats and deliver DVD viewing quality for digital terrestrial broadcasts.
The new SDTV models feature 5-channel favorite program listings in most models, a 5-brand graphic equalizer in select models, comb filters to minimize "edge crawls" and other picture distortions, and component inputs. The new models will be available in both flat-screen and standard color TV picture tube formats.
SDTV models in the 27-inch screen size will be available at suggested retail prices below $300 while 32-inch models will start at suggested retail prices under $400.
The RCA Home Court Advantage promotion features 23 RCA and RCA Scenium high-definition digital television sets and monitors including 15 models based on Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP™) technology that offers dazzling picture performance in lightweight designs and space-saving slim-line cabinets. All the models featured in the promotion are available at national retail stores as well as independent retailers throughout the country.
Among the DLP HDTV Sets included in the promotion are the 61-inch RCA Scenium Profiles HD61THW263 ultra-thin HDTV with a cabinet only 6.85 inches deep and weighing only 135 pounds. The industry's only DLP HDTV capable of hanging on a wall; the HD61THW263 was awarded several honors including the prestigious 2005 Best of Innovations for outstanding digital display, the highest honor accorded by the International CES Innovations Design/Engineering competition. Priced at only $6,999, the acclaimed model is joined in the Home Court Advantage promotion by the new 50-inch RCA Scenium Profiles HD50THW263 that is available for $4,999.
Rounding out the DLP models are 12 fully integrated HDTV Sets that do not require a separate set-top tuner/decoder to receive HDTV broadcasts. Ten of the featured models include an integrated ATSC Tuner/Decoder plus Digital Cable Ready circuitry that enables the consumer to easily receive cable HDTV programming as well as over-the-air HDTV broadcasts without a separate digital cable set-top box.
Additional features include:
HDMI interface that combines video and audio into a single digital interface for connection with DVD players, set-top boxes and other audio/video devices
7-Band Graphic Equalizer and Digital Audio Output for optimum connection of premium sound components
Audio outputs (L/R plus subwoofer) and analog A/V record outputs for recording digital programming on standard VCRs
