Wide 176 Viewing Angle - Off axis viewing is maximized to allow everyone in the room to enjoy the show.

Double Window/Multi Window POP - For the convenience of monitoring two sources at once, the set allows side by side viewing of multiple sources, or snapshot images of up to 9 channels at once.

SRSWOW" (3D, TruBass, FOCUS) - Greatly improves audio performance with improved fidelity and wider "sweet spot" for the listener.
