Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at this set's picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. The GB-4308's 2D Y/C four-line comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).
In the audio department, BBE sound simulates surround sound through two channels, either the set's or an external pair. When listening through external speakers, you can still control the volume right from the remote control after connecting the set's variable audio outputs to an amp or receiver. The set offers two component-video inputs (one for standard component-video, one for progressive-scan), two S-video inputs, one RF input (compatible with antennas and older VCRs), two rear AV inputs, and one set of front AV inputs.

This set matched and surpassed my highest expectations. I am on satellite---have tested it with coxial, S-VHS and rca jacks with the same excellent results. Suggest if you do get one of these sets you get satellite if you don't already have...dish and directv both have giveaway deals...to fully enjoy the set to its fullest potential (cable tv in general really [very very not nice], after satellite). The picture quality is excellent. Its as close to movie film as I have ever seen, even a few feet away the picture isn't destorted. The picture is really in a class all its own and you have to see it to believe a big screen tv could be this sensational. The sound is just as impressive. It has a great stereo surround sound effect for a tv set. The only sound better would be a surround sound system and receiver offering dolby 5.1, dts and dolby pro logic II (not just pro...Read more 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Apex GB-4308 43-Inch Projection TV (Electronics) I bought this TV and at first had a problem with it shutting off for no reason at all. which was quite a hassle but after some struggle with the company I bought it from and boy they gave me quite the runaround ( I would not recommend anyone shop at REX they are more trouble than they are worth.) once they exchanged my TV for one that worked properly. I have had nothing but good experience with this TV. the picture is very clear. the easy to use, and easy to program, universal remote works from almost anywhere. For being a projection TV, the myths of having to be right in front of it to see it are wrong! you can sit at as much as a 70 degree angle to the left or right and still get a good view of the picture. it has all the inputs you could need and a single stereo output, to run through what ever amplifier or reciever you may choose. over all picture clarity is magnificent whether it be cable , VCR, DVD, or a video game system. I personally use a sony playstation, and the graphics...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: Apex GB-4308 43-Inch Projection TV (Electronics) The only explanation that I have for the lack of service APEX offers is that they do not want customers. They are destined to go out of business. Sure, delivery was great... the first three months were great... but then, all of a sudden, the color in the picture totally distorts making it impossible to watch. I have been dealing with customer support now for TWO MONTHS!!! This is the honest to God truth! I wouldn't take time to write a review otherwise. I was nice to them for so long, and they just became more and more rude over time. I shouldn't have a problem like this so soon after purchase, but even so, being under manufacture warranty, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NOW! I have told their customer service (ha!) that I am going to spread the word all over the Internet that APEX is ripping off consumers and should be put out of business. Buy from a more established manufacturer. |
