Key specs

  • 65" screen with a 1080p native resolution
  • Inputs: 4x HDMI 1.3 with CEC, 2xComponent, 2xRF, 2xFirewire, 1xRS-232C

The HDMI inputs can handle most image sources including 24Hz/30Hz/60Hz 1080p. However, the component inputs are limited to accepting at most 1080i content. The firewire ports are used to connected advanced set top boxes, or to connect a video camera, though many newer cameras come with HDMI out.

Controlling the other devices in your home theater setup is done through the HDMI-CEC protocol: when you connect the device to the HDMI port a menu pops up where you can pick the device from a list of names, or learn the necessary codes. After the configuration is completed the television's remote can control the device where the signals are passed through the television so you don't need to point the remote at the device itself.
