Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The R49W36's vivid, 49-inch widescreen (16:9) display makes your movies and TV programs larger than life, bringing a world of entertainment to your doorstep, from full HDTV resolution (with optional DTV receiver) to enhanced standard-definition (SD) viewing. The rear-projection Zenith offers a host of picture-enhancing technologies, upconverting interlaced (480i composite- and S-video) signals to bring VCRs, non-progressive DVD players, cable boxes, and other entertainment devices up to 1080i or 540p resolution. The set accepts, and renders at full resolution, decoded 1080i or 480p video signals from DTV set-top boxes or progressive-scan DVD players and satellite receivers.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p or 540p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The R49W36 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; Zenith's 3:2 Pulldown Cinema Correction digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The set's HD-grade optics improve brightness and focus and reduce the cabinet depth to a manageable 19.2 inches. HD Focus eliminates the need to manually adjust the picture--just select HD Focus from the onscreen menu, and to automatically adjust the picture from center to edge. Specifically developed for digital program content, the R49W36's HD-grade, high-output CRTs maximize brightness and picture detail. Further, the unit's improved digital display eliminates most of the standard video artifacts that afflict typical analog upconversion, or line doubling (such as pixelization).

Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. Three selectable velocity-scan modulation and fine (0.52 mm) dot pitch ensure a detailed picture.

Two-tuner, split-screen PIP (picture-in-picture) with 4-picture POP (picture-outside-picture) lets you watch a second channel in the PIP inset screen while watching the main channel on the full screen, all without having to use any outside tuner source, such as a VCR, etc.

A pair of 1080i-capable component-video inputs grants optimum connection with high-definition devices, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video devices. (For older VCRs and cable boxes, there's also 2 threaded RF inputs and 1 RF output.) A set of variable-level AV outputs lets you hook the set up with your audio/video receiver, while side-panel AV inputs makes it easy to plug in a camcorder, digital camera, or gaming console for spontaneous use.

You get stereo audio (with an impressive 15 watts per channel from AV sources or broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. Not equipped with a surround receiver? Built-in Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from the set's 2 speakers or, when hooked up, from your stereo system.

The set also features a high-contrast protective shield, detail enhancement, gamma correction, auto flesh-tone adjustment, built-in rear carrying handles (making it a cinch to move), auto volume limiter, auto channel programming, bass/treble/balance controls, 6 DSP sound fields, a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, 2-level mute, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, an on-timer, and an illuminated universal remote control.

Product Description:
The 49" 16:9 HDTV Monitor Rear Projection Television features HD Grade Optics improving brightness and focus, and reducing overall cabinet depth. Improved CRTs maximize brightness and picture detail. Specifically developed for digital program content. HD Focus automatic system eliminates the need to manually adjust the picture. Simply select HD focus from the onscreen set-up menu, and 16 sensors automatically adjust the picture from center to edge in ten seconds. Most HDTVs use upconversion of analog signals (line-doubling) to simulate an HD picture, which introduces artifacts that appear as pixilated scenes due to digital conversion. Using this TV's advanced digital display, these picture artifacts are nearly eliminated. This TV is equipped with built-in rear carrying handles to easily move from room to room.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars It's great til it breaks!!!.......2007-02-20

We bought this set 3 years ago and never had a complaint . . . until it blew a tube. In fact, there are 3 tubes in this . . . blue, green and red. If the green and red blow out . . . you might be safe . . . at least as of 2.15.07, the last time I spoke with the company (Zenith). Unfortunately for us, the blue picture tube went out . . . and after waiting for nearly 2 months for word of "backordered parts" (that's no fault of Zenith . . . our fault for picking the unmotivated "rich"repair person . . . who evidently does NOT need the money) we were advised after twice calling Zenith ourselves, that the blue picture tube is "obsolete" and no longer available AND the grand prize is . . . there is NOTHING else to substitute this! So, in essence, our three year old TV is beyond repair. The finishing touch? Unless you produce an actual receipt . . . you will not receive a replacement set. This is the final thrust. A cancelled check and a life sized photo of the actual set sitting in your actual house does not count as actual possession. So, hang on to your receipts and pray that the blue tube doesn't blow out. As for me and mine . . . this is where we part company with Zenith . . . forever. Toshiba . . . here we come . . . .

5 out of 5 stars Great Product, Great Features, Affordable Price.......2003-11-20

This unit is not only a great looking HDTV but the features are great. The HD Digital Auto Convergence is easy to use and saves the time of manually trying to set it. PIP has great options, the Aspect ratio options a also great. The menu and remote are very intuative to a beginner. Overall great product!!!

1 out of 5 stars piece of junk.......2003-09-26

It is a piece of junk, not only ugly in appearance, but the picture quality is worse than our 20 year old 27 inch model. My wife and I would love to throw it out, but since we just bought it, we are stuck with it for awhile. We have been letting it sit while we go to watch the older,smaller model. If anyone wants a good deal, please let me know by e-mail @ hutchgolfs@aol.com.
