New televisions sparkle with innovation

Most people think of television as that
box that dominates their living room
But there's no reason why a TV has to

a new TV could be the most welcomed
gift for even the most demanding person
on your holiday shopping list

“Whether it's a gift for the entire
family, a close relative or a special
friend, there is a color TV to meet
every need,” says Joseph P. Clayton,
executive vice president of marketing
and sales, Thomson Consumer

receivers are the closest thing to recre

either at home or on the go. Color TVs
come in all sizes with a price to fit any
budget and a design to match any
room decor.

The TV, of course, is a sophisticated
piece of electromics that serves a multi
tude of informational. educational and,
of course. entertainment uses. The lat
est models offer a greater variety of
sophisticated audio and video features
than ever before. “Televisions are
probably more technically complex
than a computer is.” says Tom
Edwards, assistant general manager of
Panasonic's television division. “What
device do you have today that can
access 125 Cable channels, (play back)

tens of thousands of movies on video,
have built-in stereo systems and closed
captioning on either main or second
audio programming? Your better TVs
have improved audio and surround
sound packages, some even as sophisti
cated as complete Dolby Surround
Sound systems.”

Sound and picture are not the only
enhanced features on today’s sophisti
cated TVs. All new sets 13 inches and
larger are equipped with Caption Vision
(CC), closed captioning that displays
the dialog from programs in text form
at the bottom of the screen. This fea
ture not only makes a new TV a con
Siderate and thoughtful gift for the
hearing impaired, but can be an impor
tant learning device for children of
adults learning to read

“It seems that every holiday season.
the major color TV manufacturers offer
the consumer even greater value than
in years past, and 1993 will be no
exception,” says Mark Stephenson,

color sets for those on the go. and
small-screen sets for the kitchen or

bedroom. But if your family loves
movies, bigger is definitely better
Manufacturers have created a new and
dazzling array of larger screen TVs at
reasonable prices. These include 16:9
widescreen TVs that are one-third
wider than standard TVs and that elim

“The perfect gift for the whole family
is a giant-screen home theater TV, from
33-inch and 35-inch direct view sets to
46-inch to 60-inch rear-projection
models,” says Steve Sigman, director
of marketing for Zenith. “For the ulti
