RCA L50000 manual Brand new HD technology

Chapter 1 Introduction

Your LCOS HDTV is 18 inches thin — taking up less space than standard televisions. The absence of a picture tube (also called a Cathode Ray Tube) allows for a slimmer, lightweight design.

A brand new HD technology

There’s been much discussion about HDTV (high definition television) and how it works. LCOS is HDTV at its finest — providing crisp, bright images in a package that is thinner and lighter than other TVs.

This superlative picture quality and sleek design is made possible by the technology called LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon). Unlike other TVs, your LCOS TV doesn’t have a picture tube (technically, called a Cathode Ray Tube, or CRT for short). It’s the absence of this tube that has enabled us to design a TV that is:

•half the weight of a conventional projection or large screen TV– your LCOS television is less than 100 lbs.

•only 18 inches thin — slimming the size 25% compared to projection and very large screen TVs.
