Perfect reception – perfect reproduction

Metz televisions are optimally equipped for all standard types of reception. Their outstanding signal processing technology ensures that you enjoy a brilliant picture at all times. The result: pure, rich colours, sharp image contours and optimum contrast.

LED technology from Metz
More than brilliant television

Top-class television – cutting-edge LED technology provides illumination via light-emitting diodes instead of fluorescent tubes, thus creating exceptionally brilliant picture quality. The optimum technology for perfect TV enjoyment: depending on the size of screen, Metz LCD TVs with Edge LED technology are equipped with up to 16 zones that can be dimmed independently of each other. See for yourself: there are so many good reasons to choose Metz.

Intelligent technology

LED does not equal LED. Delivering brilliant picture quality also depends on the technology in the background. In its choice of LEDs, Metz sets store by cutting-edge technology – making all colours even brighter and more lifelike than ever. The well-known high performance of Metz image processing technology has been further optimised for use in Metz LCD TVs with LED technology. The result is all-round perfect viewing pleasure.

Premium picture quality

Advanced LED technology opens up a new dimension in television. The brilliant picture quality that Metz LCD TVs deliver via tried-and-tested CCFL technology is further optimised. That means: even more natural and richer colours, even greater contrast and depth of field.

Lower energy consumption

Enjoy brilliant picture quality and save energy at the same time. in comparison to CCFL technology, modern Metz LCD TVs with LED technology and a similar configuration consume up to 40% less electricity.

Lighting technologies for Metz LCD TVs

CCFL:
Fluorescent tubes (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp=CCFL) illuminate the screen.

LED with zone dimming:
LEDs (light-emitting diodes) at the edge of the TV screen illuminate the picture evenly from behind via light conductors.

 
Edge LED:
Depending on the screen size, Metz LCD TVs with LED technology have individually dimmable light zones. This allows greater contrast in comparison to conventional LCD televisions.

3D technology
The new dimension in television.

Cinema-style film viewing: Innovative 3D technology from Metz provides an exceptionally realistic television experience. Metz achieves this by means of circular polarization: a wafer-thin film on the LCD screen and the Metz passive 3D glasses combine to create impressive spatial depth – without any annoying flicker effects or restrictions of the field of vision if the viewer turns his or her head. Even conventional films can be watched in 3D. Two touches of a button are all it takes for the Metz LCD TV to convert a 2D film into 3D. The feather-light Metz 3D glasses guarantee maximum comfort.

mecavisionHD+
First-class picture quality

Sharper images, brilliant colours, smooth motion sequences, perfect contrast: mecavisionHD+, the LCD technology developed by Metz, ensures outstanding picture quality – and is eye-friendly too. Even with high-resolution HDTV signals, perfect motion compensation is possible. This enables even complex images, such as tickers, elaborate patterns or colour edges to be reproduced in detail. To provide a first-class viewing experience, Metz televisions also feature dynamic backlighting, LUX automatic contrast control, dynamic image clarity optimisation, 3D comb filters, in-plane switching (IPS), dynamic noise reduction, CTI and other image-enhancing technologies.

A further advantage: Using HDMI, Metz televisions enable films (e.g. in Blu-ray format) to be shown in the original version at 24 pictures per second – exactly the same picture frequency as that used to record and store films and show them in the cinema.

Optimised motion display

Excellent image sharpness even during high-motion scenes: the 100-hertz technology doubles the frame rate shown by Metz televisions. Combined with dynamic motion compensation (DMC), which adds algorithmically calculated intermediate images, the result is optimised motion display with even greater overall fluency.

200 Hz technology

By combining the tried-and-tested technology of dynamic motion compensation with LED backlight technology, Metz is able to achieve a new level of motion optimisation. On the one hand, the DMC chip calculates additional motion sequences. On the other, the LED backlight is switched among four different lighting zones. This so-called scanning backlighting considerably improves the viewer’s perception of motion sequences.

mecasound+
First-class sound quality

A first-class picture calls for first-class sound. mecaSound+, the new digital signal technology developed by Metz, optimises the audio signal for an ultra-clear and nuance-rich, full sound. The mecaSound+ system ensures brilliant treble and bass reproduction.
For a perfect sound experience, Metz televisions are equipped with a high-quality audio system. True audiophiles can enhance their Metz television with the Metz sound system to enjoy exceptional top-quality surround sound.

mecaSoundpro
A new dimension in audio

With mecaSoundpro, Metz opens up a new dimension in sound quality. The high-quality integrated sound system with its 2-way bass reflex system** is equipped with sealed speakers and delivers impressively rich and clean sound. The result: a unique audio experience that will fully delight even the more discerning listener.
For example, you can enjoy a classical concert broadcast on your Metz television and have the impression of experiencing it live in the audience. mecaSoundpro provides particularly authentic reproduction – even at high volumes, delicate nuances can be heard clearly and naturally.
Because the speakers are sealed there are virtually no vibrations. The exceptional sound quality is also achieved by the sound processing technology developed by Metz which controls the sound perfectly, ensuring that treble and bass are equally flawless. mecaSoundpro takes television into the realms of premium enjoyment: a treat for the eyes and the ears.
