JVC's description:
One look at JVC's I'Art PRO 48" D.I.S.T 1080i Digital HDTV Monitor is all it will take to launch you into the Digital Realm. The I'Art PRO package takes into consideration every feature the demanding digital customer is looking for now and for the future, and it delivers. With Features like Digital Image Scaling Technology where all sources are up converted to 1080i, a NEW HD Range DSD (Digital Super Detail) High End Edge Correction Circuitry, DVI/HDCP Digital Interface, Natural Cinema (3-2 Pull Down, Dual Auto-Sensing Component Video Inputs and NEW Super Focus Auto Convergence, all housed in a sleek contemporary cabnet, how could you resist?
Amazon's 'review':
The AV-48WP74 widescreen, 48-inch diagonal rear-projection HDTV monitor--a member of the acclaimed I'Art Pro family of monitors--incorporates JVC's D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology) 1080i, which upconverts and displays all signals in full 1080i resolution. That means more you'll view everything with more than a thousand horizontal scan lines--more than double the number from DVD players.
You'll need an outboard ATSC digital tuner or set-top box for DTV reception, but with or without a true high-definition source component, this set offers a bevy of high technologies--many of them proprietary--to ensure stellar images from any source.
JVC has updated its DSD (Digital Super Detail) circuitry with new 75 MHz HD DSD edge correction, and the company's unique Natural Progressive picture improvement technologies optimize signal quality just before the picture is displayed on the screen. The 10.95 million-pixel Natural Progressive technology doubles the image data in each field and uses 3D interpolation to display a solid image with no noticeable scanning lines, eliminating jagged edge noise and image trails.
Other enhancements include TheaterPro 6500K color temperature, Digital Noise Clear circuitry, Natural Cinema 3:2 pulldown (with on/off capability) for all telecine sources, selectable velocity scan modulation, white-character correction circuitry, and convenient front-panel-access auto convergence.
A DVI input with HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) lets you enjoy uncompressed transmission and display of high-definition digital content. Connections include dual auto-sensing component-video inputs to ensure the best possible picture quality, whether the source is HD cable, HD satellite, DVD, or D-VHS. The set also features three S-video inputs, four composite-video-based AV inputs, dual NTSC tuners with a 12-multi-index window display, and a dark-tinted screen shield with a scratch-resistant coating.
For outstanding audio performance, the AV-48WP74 offers BBE High Definition Sound Enhancement (which improves dialogue intelligibility) and Advanced Hyper Surround Sound, which simulates surround sound from any two speakers--a great complement to the set's 10-watt-per-channel bass-reflex speakers. There's also a subwoofer output, and AV CompuLink III for connectivity with other JVC AV products.
