Slim, Sleek, and Svelte HDTV

The new flagship model in the RCA Scenium line is a widescreen 50-inch (diagonal) fully integrated rear-projection HDTV based on Texas Instruments' DLP(TM) (Digital Light Processing) technology. Like the entire RCA Scenium digital television line, the 50-inch RCA Scenium DLP HDTV embraces 16x9 widescreen display panorama and boasts the industry's most advanced performance technologies integrated in a user-friendly design. Some of these features include a 16x9 widescreen panoramic display with an anti-reflective protective shield, a built-in ATSC tuner/decoder, 720p high-definition display, high-speed broadband connectivity for networking and Internet browsing, QAM modulation that enables the TV to receive local broadcasts over digital cable channels, and secure digital DVI-HDTV and DTVLink(1394) interfaces that assure optimum display capability of uncompressed digital video images as well as convenient recording of HDTV programming. The lightweight (under 100 pounds) and slim cabinet (16 inches deep) make the 50-inch RCA Scenium DLP HDTV the ideal model for consumers seeking giant-screen picture performance in a compact cabinet design at a suggested retail price of $4,499.
