DVD Player

harman/kardon DVD 25
Progressive Scan DVD Player

DVD is the fastest growing product in the history of consumer electronics, and the DVD 25 is one reason why. It offers progressive scan playback with full reconstruction of the original film image to create stunning images that maximize the benefits of today's advanced digital video displays. Of course, it plays not only DVDs, but also CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, Video CDs and even MP3 discs with clarity that rivals the original performance. Complete programming options and a full-featured, backlit remote control make the DVD 25 easy to use. It even includes a built-in test signal which allows you to quickly adjust your video display without the need for additional discs or equipment.

Monitor

Mitsubishi WS-55809 55" HDTV Monitor
MicroFine™ Phosphor CRTs: The new Platinum Series CRTs employ fine-grain phosphors for a 20 percent smaller spot sizes, resulting in sharper, clearer, higher-resolution images.
Motion-Adaptive 3D-Y/C 480-Line Comb Filters: Even video content with bright colors and fast action is displayed with a new level of clarity.
High-Speed Velocity Scan Modulation (HVSM): This feature has the speed and precision it takes to deliver crisp-edge detail even at the hyperfast scan rates of 480p and 1080i.
DIAMOND VISION® Optical System which includes:
- Premium CRTs for a brighter image with improved focus
- Precision beam control for enhanced resolution
- Front-surface mirrors for a brighter picture and no double images
EDF (Enhanced Depth-of-Field) Lenses: These advanced lenses provide more accurate focus in the corners and along the edges of the screen.
Five Picture Format Modes. Provides the user with many ways to fill the TV screen with images of different shapes.
Film Mode. Improves the conversion quality of 480-line interlaced video derived from film (including most movies) to 480-line progressive scan by way of a sophisticated 3:2 pull-down system.
ColorTuned™ Diamond Shield. This unique optical design protects the screen from scratches and adds improved contrast to the picture, resulting in blacker blacks and brighter whites. By selectively filtering yellow and orange light, the main components in sunlight and home lighting, the shield prevents this light from hitting the TV screen and washing out its picture.
DiamondBrite™ Screen. Provides a brighter picture by focusing more of the CRTs' light into the typical TV viewing area.
Dynamic White Balance. Ensures color accuracy at all brightness levels.
Dual progressive scan (480P)/ interlaced (480i). Component video inputs allow you access to the highest possible performance from a progressive scan DVD player.
64-Point Convergence System. Easy to use and provides precise color alignments
AV Memory by input. Automatically memorizes the color, tint, brightness, contrast and other picture adjustments preferred for each input.
Multi-Image Viewing. Enables PIP, 3 POP (Picture Out of Picture) and 9 POP, with Advanced Channel Surfing.
