Amazon.com Product Description

If it's super-bright, high-contrast images you're after, you've arrived at the right television. The vivid realism for which plasma flat-panel sets are known gets a strong boost from Gateway's 42-inch, widescreen set, which boasts a high, 600:1 contrast ratio for rich, fathomless blacks alongside an impressive 570 cd/m2 brightness. You'll also get plenty of audio/video inputs and outputs for your other home-entertainment gear, including an RGB PC input and output.

The Benefits of Enhanced TV

Standard TVs (SDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the interlaced scan method, which creates a picture with alternating lines of information.

Enhanced-definition TVs (EDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the progressive-scan method, which creates an image using consecutive lines of information for a crisp, flicker-free picture.

Gateway's plasma TVs are astonishingly thin.

This is an EDTV (enhanced-definition) TV, so it's capable of displaying progressive-scan 480p signals in their native resolution. A built-in digital scaling engine accepts various computer and HDTV signals, then digitally maps them to fit the screen's 852 x 480 pixels. Compatible signals include computer display resolutions up to 1,280 x 1,024 and all HDTV signals, including 720p and 1080i.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p and 720p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional interlaced pictures, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

A plasma screen consists of two thin sheets of glass containing tiny, gas-filled cells. Electronic current stimulates the cells to produce light and color, creating bright, steady, vivid pictures. You also get extremely wide viewing angles (160 degrees with this set) and easy placement due to the TV's slim profile--this Gateway set is a mere 3.7 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting (a table stand is supplied, and the set is compatible with most mounting hardware). Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

Picture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to watch two programs simultaneously with four selectable window positions. Picture-on-picture (POP) lets you watch two programs side by side. PIP/POP is available when your video source is set to anything other than RGB, DVI, or HD sources (component-video sources higher than 480i resolution). For example, you can watch two analog TV programs simultaneously by using the built-in TV tuner and an external tuner such as the one inside your DVR or VCR. You can also watch analog TV and a DVD movie at the same time.

A choice of digital zoom modes lets you fill the screen to eliminate letterbox bars on 4:3 (or other) aspect-ratio content, and a built-in digital visual interface (DVI) input jack eliminates the need for analog-to-digital conversion between your DTV set-top box or computer.

Audio options abound: there's a stereo RCA output with internally selectable fixed or variable level, a pair of built-in 5-watts-per-channel speakers, plus BBE Sound maximizer to tailor the timbre to your taste. For spacious surround sound, a circuit from SRS Labs simulates surround from any two speakers, while a monaural RCA output lets you use an optional subwoofer to enhance the low-frequency response of your listening system.

TV's fine for the money.......2005-01-28

So I went to pick this tv up yesterday...set it up and my first impression was that visually the tv is nice looking, really really huge screen! (coming from a 35in crt)So I hook everything (and there are alot of connection choices)up and put in Monsters, Inc. My first impression : Nice color, what the hell is wrong with the blacks? THERE WERE TONS OF GREEN DOTS IN ALL OF THE BLACK!!!!!!!! ACCCK! So I thought a bit and switched out the video from component to Svideo..problem solved, the picture quality is really nice on DVDs for this price point ($1999) My only gripe is that regular cable looks not so great, but thats a small point since I dont watch anything but the news.

In the end, I think this is a great starter plasma or a purchase for someone trying to build credit (like me)

Pretty cool device.......2004-10-09

Guys,

I bought this device through www.perfectrebates.com and got 5% cash back. Turned out to be a good deal to me. I like the TV and it is working for me so far. I will keep you updated.

Thin fabric (not included) can also be stretched across the grille to match or contrast with the surrounding decor.The Ambiance 62 incorporates a high output 6 ?" woofer for improved bass response and a ?" swivel tweeter.An injection-molded co-polymer cone with rubber suspension will not absorb moisture if the speaker is mounted in a wall with a poor vapor barrier, as is common in older homes. Also allows speakers to be placed in areas with high humidity conditions, such as bathrooms.A tweeter level switch allows the user to increase the tweeter output slightly. The tweeter is also protected by a solid-state self-resetting device, which will turn the tweeter off in the event of potentially damaging overload. Once the signal returns to a safe level, they will automatically be restored.This system also includes the Russound SS-4 impedance matching/four-pair speaker selector. The SS-4 connects one amp to as many as 4 pairs of 8-ohm speakers, great for basic expansion of home, office or business audio systems.
