Cheap Hewlett-Packard LC2640N 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics) Price

HP's LC2640N is a high-definition-ready flat-panel LCD TV capable of serving both your living room and your office. The 26-inch, widescreen set offers 1,280 x 768 resolution and renders crisp, dynamic, true-to-life images using HP Visual Fidelity picture-processing technology, capable of enhancing virtually any video source. Integrated dual NTSC tuners give you picture-in-picture or side-by-side viewing of 2 programs (or 1 program and 1 input) simultaneously, while a rear-panel PC input lets the set double as a computer monitor.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The LC2640N's image enhancements include DCDi video processing by Faroudja (the acclaimed DCDi algorithm detects low-angle lines and smoothes out staircases and jagged edges, bringing greater realism to sporting events and movies), a Cross Color Suppressor (which removes cross-color artifacts from composite-video sources for consistently true colors), Fine Detail Enhancement (which identifies a picture's areas of fine detail, such as skin and hair, and enhances them to a more lifelike appearance), and the above-mentioned HP Visual Fidelity technology (which analyzes every pixel of every image for noise reduction, color enhancement, motion compensation, and detail enhancement to ensure a spectacular picture). Motion-adaptive noise reduction enhances the quality of standard-definition and off-air programming.

FilmMode processing with 3:2 and 2:3 pulldown accurately reproduces film-originated content from video sources. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2/2:3 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Inputs include a DVI-D terminal with HDCP (High-Definition Content Protection), which permits pure digital connections to DTV set-top boxes and DVI-enabled DVD players and PCs. The set also offers 2 HD component-video inputs, a VGA computer input, an RF antenna/coaxial input, and 2 each composite- and S-video connections for additional component hookups. A composite-video-based audio/video output lets you feed a TV signal to a DVR, VCR, or other device--perfect for recording one program while watching another using the set's 2 tuners. A dedicated subwoofer output lets you use an outboard powered subwoofer to augment the TV's speakers with full low-frequency response.

A pair of selectable features enhances the set's 15-watt (7.5 watts per channel x 2) sound system. BBE High Definition Audio improves speech intelligibility and musical realism, while SRS WOW/TruBass processing creates a perceptually larger sound field, enhancing vocals and instilling a sense of deep, rich bass even without the use of a subwoofer.
