Important Product Features

Swapping Function

You can swap the main screen and the sub-screen when the PIP/POP/PBP function is used.

Spectacle Function

The screen center area is close to a 4:3 ratio and the outskirt area is expanded by more than Spectacle. Therefore, the different screen ratio is applied for each area. Because most ordinary people concentrate their focus on the screen center, a non-linear ratio increase at the outskirt area is not recognized, which makes it possible to watch 4:3 TV screen with a wide screen. However, the spectacle function is useful in watching TV or motion pictures but is not suitable for the PC environment in which you perform graphic or document work.

Sleep Function

When watching AV/TV – The product will be automatically turned off after a certain period of time. Press this button repetitively to select an appropriate time duration.

Media Manager (only 20.1 inch)
