LCD! Anywhere!

With its 19" LCD panel and wide variety of high-performance video-reproduction features, the 19LG31 HDTV is ideal for adding a little LCD to any room in your house. Movie-and-popcorn night in the bedroom. The game on in the background in the office. Your favorite TV chef cooking right along with you in the kitchen. The high definition 720p (1440 x 900) panel accepts 1080p source input via HDMI and HD component video for optimal HD connectivity. Diverse features like a super-fast 8ms pixel-response time, 1:1 pixel matching, 3D digital comb filter, enhanced line doubler, and a Black Level Enhancer are just a part of the force driving the stunning HD video picture. Got time on your hands? The 19LG31 has a 60,000-hour panel life, which works out to be about 32 years with 5 hours of viewing time per day.

A custom fit

While it is true that LCD flat panels tend to perform better than their plasma cousins in viewing areas with ambient light, not all LCDs are created equal. The 19LG31's Intelligent Sensor employs a sophisticated algorithm that uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate the panel's surroundings, ultimately optimizing the panel's brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, and white balance to the needs of your home viewing area. Additionally, the 19LG31's Expert Mode gives you the ability to make sophisticated and detailed calibrations using up to 25 adjustment points to optimize picture quality based on environment, lighting conditions, type of content, and personal preferences.

Vroom, vroom

Video processing isn't video processing without an engine. An XD Engine™, that is. This LG-exclusive technology uses advanced video processing to optimize black levels and panel brightness, to enhance color, and to reduce image noise and artifacts. Additionally, XD Engine technology provides de-interlacing of analog signals, making these compatible with the performance level of modern flat panel technologies. From style on the outside to advanced technologies on the inside, your home HD experience begins with the LG 19LG31.

The other half

The advanced high definition video performance offered by the 19LG31's panel is only half of the story when it comes to the complete home-theater experience. "What's the other half", you might ask? Audio. LG's 2008 line of HDTVs features a unique invisible speaker system that uses minute vibrations from speakers embedded into strategic areas behind the front cabinet to convert the entire front bezel into the speaker system. You get a clean, polished look coupled with an audio soundstage enhance by a wider sound field. Don't just see the kiss . . . hear the music swell. Don't just watch the car chase take a corner . . . hear the tires squeal.

The other other half

Now, just wait a second. LG's dedication to the audio half of your home-theater experience doesn't stop with invisible speakers. The 19LG31's Clear Voice technology automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of the human voice's frequency range during scenes when background noise swells, assuring that you catch every last syllable of crucial dialogue. Further, SRS TruSurround XT™ technology creates a virtual surround sound experience.

Get tuned in

Geared up and ready for the up-and-coming digital transition (the government mandated switch to all-digital television broadcasting) your new LG 19LG31 comes equipped with digital ATSC and QAM tuners. These digital tuners make receiving and enjoying digitally broadcast content — whether from the air or from cable or satellite — easy and worry-free.

A side of PC, please

Coming to the rescue in this multiple-component, integrated-system world, the LG 19LG31 serves up an extra helping of connectivity with a PC input. Surf the net, download online movies, play games or get a little work done, all on 19 inches of stunning high definition LCD.

ENERGY STAR of approval

Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, LG has made sure that the 19LG31 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this HDTV helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear.

HDMIncredible

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, LG's 19LG31 features one HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Avoid the 'No Wire' ire

The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new 19LG31 offers — in terms of high definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
