HP MDTV:

a new approach

While all DLP™ TVs share common characteristics, you can really see the differences in HP MDTVs in the areas of picture, sound, connectivity, styling, and ease of use.

The 720p TVs—50-inch and 58-inch models—are entry-level, offering great picture quality and ease of setup. The higher end 1080p TVs, the 58-inch and 65-inch models, feature advanced picture technology, and are two of the few 1080p TVs on the market capable of receiving and displaying native 1080p compressed and uncompressed HD content through HDMI at three frame rates. This gives the consumer the opportunity to select from price and feature options to fit individual budgets and taste. HP is future-proofing the consumer’s expensive investment.

HP Visual Fidelity: the science of great image quality HP’s rich assets and printing technology intelligence have been employed to transform the art and science of display. When we say “HP Visual Fidelity,” we’re talking about HP technologies that work together to provide outstanding image quality and color:

•HP Wobulation/resolution enhancement

•Color science

•Image processing and rendering

•Illumination

•Viewing experience

HP MDTV features

HP Visual Fidelity

•HP Wobulation uses resolution doubling to produce clean, crisp images and virtually eliminates screen-door effect.

•The DynamicBlack™ aperture enhances resolution for a smoother picture, vivid colors, fine detail, and darker blacks.

•The white point in these TVs is truly white, making it possible to see natural subjects in natural colors.

•The 1080p models (md5880n and md6580n) are capable of receiving and displaying native 1080p compressed and uncompressed HD content (through HDMI at three frame rates).

•HP-enhanced DLP technology and a brighter bulb sharpen contrast ratios while delivering more vivid color and less fall-off.

Image quality

•Picture uniformity across the screen makes for an ultra-wide viewing angle, both horizontal and vertically.

•The screen’s flatness and focal length improve image sharpness and virtually eliminate glare and reflection.

•The brighter 150-watt DC UHP lamp produces more vivid color, more contrast, and less fall-off, with no flicker. The picture is rich with detail, even in daylight.

•The color wheel and lamp work together to deliver more natural colors, especially noticeable in realistic skin tones and truer greens.

•Color temperature is lower and warmer overall, for a more true-to-life picture.

Connectivity

•Lighted, front connection panel provides inputs for common sources such as a TV antenna and cable service, a DVD player, an audio/video receiver, a VCR, a personal digital video recorder, an HD camcorder, a video gaming device, a personal computer, and a satellite receiver.

•The 1080p TVs are Digital Cable Ready with an integrated CableCARD slot. The 720p TVs allow for an optional CableCARD tuner module, eliminating the need for a separate cable box.
