dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle tecture display, an

engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video
inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves
contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise
reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital
comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height,
picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce
edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the
speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an
amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass
through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio
enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound

    during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech
    much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep
    rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer
    low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency
    capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature
    widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo
    material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic
    improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker
    system.
