Magnavox 19″ Class Widescreen LCD HDTV w/ Built-in DVD Player, 19MD357B/37 – Energy Star Compliant

A great price on a great piece of television hardware. This combination TV DVD player delivers full high-definition with it’s WXGA+ display. That means you get 1440 x 900p HDMI for full digital high definition. The built in DVD offers DivX integrated into a DVD player which ensures you will be able to play just about anything with its multi-format playability. So whether you want to play CDs or even MPEG4 movies this machine will have you covered.

Here’s the full list of all the formats you can play:

DVD, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, DivX, MP3-DVD, CD, CD-R/CD-RW, Video CD/SVCD, MP3-CD, WMA-CD, picture CD, Kodak picture CD

Other features include an integrated HDTV tuner that receives and decodes ATSC off-air and unscrambled cable signals directly. This feature eliminates the need for any additional set-top boxes so you can watch digital high-definition TV programming without an additional set-up box. Then there is HDMI input. HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection. Then there is a built in selection of AV inputs so connecting most standard audio and video shouldn’t be an issue with 480i/p, 720p, 1080i.

Then comes performance. In the form of dynamic contrast and a 3D combfilter. The dynamic contrast technology adjusts images on the fly so that bright pictures come in clear and dark images still deliver richness and texture. The 3D combfilter performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information. Filtering separates brightness and color signals better in the 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion – all of which detract from your viewing pleasure.
So there you have it. A lot of great features in a 19 inch package and because it’s ENERGY STAR-qualified it uses about 30% less electricity than standard TVs.
