The 27HL85 delivers the ultimate in convenience by combining a 27 HD LCD display with built-in speakers and an 181 channel tuner. No need to worry about having enough space anymore. Full broadcast stereo sound provides quality audio. An MTS (Multi-channel Television Sound) decoder enables the television to accept and decode a broadcast stereo signal. Unlike some systems that delete dbx, MTS provides the full quality of the original stereo broadcast. SAP (Secondary Audio Program) enables the reception of bilingual broadcasts (when available). Of course with a range of connections you could hook up this LCD TV to your system, but it's capable of a superb performance all by itself. That's nice right, but, if for you image is everything, you'll be glad to know it provides superb functionality and a stunning picture with a 720p High Definition screen. It's perfect for viewing high definition, standard television signals and DVD movies.
