Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy a breathtaking viewing experience when watching television programming and DVD movies with the 46-inch Akai PT46DL10 HD-ready DLP television. Built for those who want an affordable large screen TV, the PT46DL10 has a built-in NTSC tuner for standard over-air programming, and it displays HDTV channels and signals when connected to an optional receiver or compatible cable/satellite set-top box.
DLP (which stands for Digital Light Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems can't match. While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems.
The PT46DL10 has a 1280 x 760-pixel resolution, 600 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and a 1200:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) A 3D Y/C comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image.
SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass, and this set produces 15 watts of power per channel (for 30 watts total). It offers the following connection options:
Composite AV (RCA): 2 in (1 front)
S-Video: 2 in (1 front)
Component video: 2 in
DVI: 1 in
HDMI: xx in
PC VGA: 1 in
Subwoofer: 1 out
Tech Talk Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device. This universal standard for connecting flat-panel monitors is also used for data projectors, plasma displays, and digital TVs.

bad tvFebruary 18, 2006 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I had TV for only 6 months and the screen goes dark after a twenty seconds and the company doesn't cover the repair cost. Also the company has very bad customer service.
May be inexpensive, but well worth the money!!!January 29, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have a 46 inch Akai DLP HDTV and I love it. The only time I have ever heard the fan running is when you are turning on or off the TV - by no means does it run 24/7 and if it does, I sure don't hear it! It has a very crisp and clear picture while watching DVD's and HD Television. Once you have watched one of these pure HD channels you will never want to watch the regular channels again. Several of my friends own Akai's as well and I have never heard anyone complain to be honest I ran down a got mine because of the great success they have had with theirs. My opionion is that this TV is well worth the money you won't be sorry!
Cheap and for a reason!November 30, 2005 9 out of 13 found this review helpful
If you are looking for a cheap entry level HD TV then this might be for you, but there are problems.
1)Like the picture is terrible if you do not have high definition input (expect that computer interpolated funny picture you get form most HD TV with analog input). NOT FOR THOSE WHO STILL USE analog (cable like)input. 2) I could never get the picture to look just right with adjustments. Once one thing looked good, then other thing looked terrible. 3) Exceptionally noisy TV! I've since learned some newer DLP TV's are better but this one is bad. You'll hear the fan run 24/7. 4) Did not keep a 4:3 picture ratio when I turn off the TV? An adjustment you will have to make.
Probably a decent TV if you have HD broadcast with the correct inputs.
The cheapest you can expect to pay for a good 42-46" DLP (Samsung, Toshiba, etc..) TV as of today is about $1500-1700. Any thing less is most likely 1st generation DLP's and using old technology.
