Technological glossary:
The LC3050 provides a complete multimedia home
entertainment experience with built-in digital tuner, stereo
loudspeakers and advanced display technology. By using the
latest digital image enhancing techniques and incorporating the
features only found on the very best sets. And being a Marantz,
its standard-setting performance is matched by its stunning
good looks. Put it at the heart of your home theater.
A visionary experience
The LC3050s widescreen liquid crystal display (LCD) produces
an extra bright image (450cd/m2) for perfect viewing
enjoyment even in sunlight. This type of display works by
having a liquid crystal solution between two sheets of polarized
glass. An electric current causes the crystal in a particular pixel
to align and block light, switching the current off allows light to
pass through again. In this way, a dynamic TV picture can be
built up in crisp vivid colors that rivals conventional CRT TVs.
And of course, LCD TVs are much thinner and more energy
efficient than CRTs too.
LCD image excellence
A conventional TV image is interlaced, where each frame is
built up from two interlaced image fields that are view
simultaneously. However, when viewing interlaced video on
non-interlaced TVs (like LCD) that display the interlaced
images sequentially, an artifacts known as tear is visible.
Tearing is due to both fields showing the object moving at
slightly different times. The Marantz LC3050 has a motion
compensated de-interlacer that merges the two fields to
faithfully reproduce the original frame without unpleasant
motion artifacts.
Behind the scenes, advanced digital image processing
algorithms optimize picture quality, leaving you free to enjoy
the ultimate viewing experience. Digital Color Transient
Improvement (DCTI) reduces color smear at the vertical edges
of bright colored areas on the TV image whereas Digital
Luminance Transient Improvement (DLTI) enhances contour
detail in scenes for a sharper, more natural picture.

Black level expansion creates richer, deeper black tones. It
dynamically analyses every image and literally stretches dark
areas to a realistic black while leaving light areas untouched.
The result is better contrast, without black areas looking gray if
you increase the picture brightness.
The LC3050 uses a high-performance, 10-bit digital gamma
processing circuit to optimize the non-linear imaging
characteristics of LCD panels. It is far superior to conventional
analogue and lesser bit-rate gamma processing; this circuitry
delivers natural colors and smooth image graduation.

Unlike the lower quality comb filters, the 4H Comb Filter in
Marantz LCD TV's separates signals for brightness and color
with an advanced technology. The processing of RF and
composite video signals is done far more accurately for a
sharper, cleaner picture. In addition the filter reduces
discoloration in fine detailed area in a picture and provides
good overall color purity. This clearly separates color
boundaries and making images softer and cleaner. Detail noise
is reduced significantly. This noise can normally be seen as
shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricately detailed
scenes.
If you want the best you need a digital video connection.
Whether you're watching a ball game or an action-packed
movie in high definition, without question, the picture quality is
stunning. It could be better, though. For high definition all
digital video to look its best, the data must be transferred from
your digital source to your LC3050. The DVi-D input on the
LC3050 is a pure digital high bandwidth video interface and
complies with the HDCP protocol. What you see on your screen
is exactly what was digitally recorded. You´ll enjoy a razor
sharp picture with incredible detail and vibrant, natural colors.
