Product description from manufacturer
The CT-27SX12 is a 27" diagonal Tau series PureFlat stereo television. Analog Tau series PureFlat lets you experience richly detailed images with incredible depth from corner to corner. Compared to regular curved screens, the PureFlat screen produces fewer reflections, so you can enjoy distraction-free TV viewing no matter where you sit in the room. The Invar Mask adds to the flat screen picture quality, by applying the optimal amount of vertical tension to the shadow mask to minimize the color shift problem common with conventional flat CRTs. BBE high-definition sound improves speech intelligibility, and restores the dynamic range of musical passages to help provide a more natural sound. Component video input delivers outstanding resolution and color accuracy of video images from a variety of sources, including DVD players, by keeping the Y, PR, PB of video images intact during the transmission process. Surround Sound simulates stereo sound - even from a monaural source - by delaying the original, 2-channel sound to create a "surround" effect. Advanced circuitry along the neck of the CRT senses transitions from black to white in the video signal. The black and white portions of the signal are sped up and slowed down, respectively, resulting in sharp black-to-white transitions. Channel banner captures information transmitted with each program and places it on-screen in a semi-transparent banner. This information includes TV station identification and the V-chip rating for the program being transmitted. In addition to basic television controls, the lighted universal remote can operate most VCRs, cable boxes, and DVD players. Plus, illuminated buttons make it easier to use in darkened rooms.
