The 32A33 offers picture-enhancing technology, too--its digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance 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). Meanwhile, advanced velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at 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.

You get two sets of rear audio/video inputs (two composite-video inputs and one each S-video and ColorStream component-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder, digital camera, or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 32A33 also features V-Chip parental controls, channel lock, video lock, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.
