ENERGY STAR | ENERGY STAR qualified. This HDTV uses about 40% less electricity than standard televisions. | |

Best-Seller | This TV is not a top best-seller at a national store including Amazon, Best Buy, Sears, and Wal-Mart. – Sanyo DP42840 Review | |
Resolution | Designed with 1080p resolution, the highest definition available. Provides nearly twice the resolution of 720p, and allows you to fully utilize 1080p videos or programming. | |
Side Inputs | Includes side inputs that allow you to conveniently plug-in some devices without having to reach behind the TV. | |
LED | Does not incorporate LED backlighting. LED technology is more expensive, but it saves on energy and allows the TV to be significantly thinner. | |
Local Dim | Local dimming technology is only available on LCD televisions with LED backlighting. | |
Frame Rate | Uses a standard 60 Hz (60 frames per second) which is adequate for many programs and movies, but you may experience slight motion blur during fast action scenes. | |
THX | Like most HDTVs, this is not THX certified. THX generally indicates that the TV will have high-quality picture performance. – Sanyo DP42840 Review | |
DLNA | Not DLNA certified (Digital Living Network Alliance). DLNA promotes interoperability between electronic devices, which makes sharing digital content easier and more convenient. | |
3D | This Sanyo television is not 3D ready. 3D TVs allow you to view 3D content from select video games, Blu-ray discs, and programming, but are much more expensive. | |
Wi-Fi | This Sanyo HDTV is not Wi-Fi capable. You cannot wirelessly connect to your home-based internet network. | |
Internet | Internet access is not available with this TV. You cannot view streaming internet videos, widgets, or applications that are available with many brands. | |
DVD Player | Like most televisions, this Sanyo TV does not have a built-in DVD or Blue-ray player. Most consumers purchase these items separately. | |
Depth | This TV is thicker than average with a depth of 4.5″. If you plan to mount it on the wall, you may consider a thinner model. – Sanyo DP42840 Review | |
Frame | Standard, multiple-level design with some space between the screen and the bezel. Single-level designs can provide a seamless look that is preferred by some consumers. | |
Speakers | Speakers provide 20 watts of total output power, which is about average. – Sanyo DP42840 Review | |
HDMI | Provides 3 HDMI inputs so that you can connect a cable box and two other devices such as a DVD player and video game console. Do you need to connect a PC as well? |
