NEW YORK—Already heralded by editors as "TV
on the Atkins Plan…Super Stylish…and Really Skinny", the new ultra-thin RCA
Scenium Profiles HDTV is on track for retail introduction this fall and is
expected to revolutionize the high-definition projection television market. The
widescreen 50-inch and 61-inch models feature stunning cabinets less than seven
inches "thin" and are so light they can be easily mounted on a
wall.
The Digital Cable Ready
RCA Scenium Profiles HDTV models offer a series of video and audio enhancements
that totally engulf and involve the viewer in the on-screen action, including
the ability to simultaneously watch TV and surf the Internet or display favorite
digital photos.
Both models feature an
integrated ATSC tuner/decoder and Digital Cable Ready circuitry designed to
capture the stunning realism of HDTV broadcasts aired by terrestrial
broadcasters and carried by cable operators to consumers. The Digital Cable
Ready feature delivers cable-ready high-definition programming with a CableCard™
slot and off-air reception of digital high definition broadcasts without the
need for a separate ATSC tuner or digital cable box. The cable security card is
provided by the cable operator and insures nationwide portability on any
compliant digital cable network throughout the United States.
"RCA Scenium Profiles
HDTV offers a new dimension in digital television viewing that is so thin you
can easily hang Profiles HDTV on the wall," said Michael D. O'Hara, Executive
Vice President of Thomson's Consumer Solutions businesses. "While most consumers
expect stunning picture performance, these models go the extra mile by utilizing
the latest DLP microdisplay technology to drive breathtaking reality in color
imagery and vibrant sound that rival the movie
experience."
