UltraBlack technology and Vertical Alignment
Achieve incredibly deep blacks with an astounding 200,000:1 contrast ratio, UltraBlack technology and Epson’s exclusive Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD technology. With VA LCD technology, opaque (black) is the natural state. Signal voltage is applied to increase translucence (transmittance) as needed. This is a fundamental design and performance advantage – a complete rethinking of LCD chip design FineFrame interpolation processing technology
Film is encoded on Blu-ray at 24 frames per second. FineFrame deconstructs and reconstructs these sources for a 1080p frame rate output of up to 120Hz, virtually eliminating flicker and frame-to-frame judder. The 4:4 pulldown function also makes corrections for improperly encoded sources, and features a reverse 2:3 pulldown detection and correction function.

DON'T RISK GRAY MARKET!

• A Gray Market product is imported (they are the owners) then they sell to you. It is now second hand.
• You may save a few dollars if all goes well but read the fine print as normally you have to send it back to them at your expense, any damage in transit is not covered. Sometimes you have to pay for shipping OS.
• Your warranty (such as it is) now relies on them staying in business so how would you feel if they close up shop just after you purchased?
• With this product your closest Australian Channel AUTHORISED repairer (correctly trained) will see things right. Wouldn't you rather just drop it to someone in your state?
• Note too that some items even though they look identical may not be, they may not be certified in Australia for 240V use so in the event of fire you may not be covered. Sure it's rare but do you want to take the risk?
