"Dear Abby"
Abby's (Maura Tierney) frustrating day gets worse when she gets a special "Dear John" letter from Dr. Carter in the Congo while her fellow nurses threaten a walkout and her opinions are ignored -- especially when she is chastised as she seeks to inform a teenaged girl (as Ellie, Stephanie Lineburg), with failing lungs and heart, that her life is in grave danger. Elsewhere, Dr. Romano's (Paul McCrane) mood gets nastier when he is fitted with an antiquated hook for his missing arm and he takes out his rage by firing several much-needed nurses. In addition, three new second-year residents join the staff -- including the self-assured Dr. "Coop" (guest star Glenn Howerton). Dr. Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) uneasily meets Dr. Chen's (Ming-Na) old-fashioned parents for dinner, and the playful Dr. Dorset (guest star Bruno Campos) makes an impression with his style and substantial skills. Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Sherry Stringfield, Sharif Atkins, Goran Visnjic and Parminder Nagra also star.

PROFILES – NEW ULTRA-THIN RCA SCENIUM HDTV

OFFERS STUNNING WIDESCREEN ENTERTAINMENT

IN SLEEK WALL-HANGING DESIGN

Digital Cable Ready HDTV That Delivers Built-In Functionality With Cable and

Terrestrial HDTV Sources

Responding to Consumer Demand for Thinner, Brighter HDTV

Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453) (NYSE: TMS) turned the spotlight on Profiles – the new

RCA Scenium ultra-thin Digital Cable Ready integrated rear-projection DLPÆË HDTV Sets

featuring slim cabinets less than seven inches deep and so light in weight they can be easily mounted on a wall. The sleek new designs were unveiled for the first time today, including 50-inch and 61-inch models that will be available at retail stores later in 2004 and a stunning mural sized 70-inch widescreen DLP HDTV slated for early 2005 introduction that will transform the family room into a virtual wall of entertainment.

The new ultra-thin RCA Scenium HDTV Sets feature integrated ATSC tuner/decoder and Digital Cable Ready circuitry designed to capture the stunning realism of HDTV broadcasts aired by terrestrial broadcasters and carried by cable operators to consumers.

"Thomson continues to raise the bar for excellence in home entertainment featuring cutting-edge performance for fully integrated DLP HDTV Sets that can be mounted on a wall, rivaling the quality and convenience of plasma and LCD models," said Michael D. O’Hara, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing & Sales for Thomson’s Consumer Products businesses. "Profiles HDTV presents consumers with a more mature technology choice for flat panel projection displays that serve as the centerpiece of an advanced home theatre system."

Motivated by strong endorsement of its first RCA Scenium and RCA HDTV models featuring the DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology from Texas Instruments, Thomson is forging new standards of achievement with the ultra-thin models in three dramatically designed cabinet styles that adapt easily to any room decor. In developing a design aesthetic for Profiles HDTV Sets, Thomson‘s design team established a thin surface material that highlights the dramatic ultra-thin profile of the television. The screen area was then recessed to create a visual backdrop for the picture and sound, further enhancing the overall theatre effect. A black crystalline screen frame containing the picture is cradled against a silver backdrop, much like a painting on an easel. The result is a dramatic "floating picture" that visually suspends the image as a separate element of the cabinet.

A key enabler of Profiles is the InFocus light engine, featuring a revolutionary patent-pending engine, lens and screen solution that enables the ultra-thin profile. Both Profiles models are comparable in weight to a plasma display at less than 130 pounds and will be available in the fall.

The 50-inch set will have a suggested retail price of $8,999, while the 61-inch version will have a suggested retail price of $9,999. Along with Profiles HDTV, Thomson is introducing an all-new line of space saving widescreen

DLP HDTVs -- all Digital Cable Ready -- in cabinets as thin as 16 inches deep and weighing under 100 pounds. Overall, the 2004 DLP line comprises eight RCA Scenium HDTV Sets in 61-, 50- and 44-inch screen sizes. In total, Thomson will offer more than a dozen models of Digital Cable Ready, fully integrated HDTV Sets for 2004.

These RCA Scenium DLP models are light enough to be used as table models and have cabinet depths comparable to that of a 13- or 19-inch direct-view TV. Among the many convenience and performance features of the RCA Scenium DLP series are:

• DLP technology from Texas Instruments.

• Built-in digital tuner/decoder for both terrestrial (ATSC) and cable (QAM) reception plus

full Digital Cable Ready capability with CableCARD™ security slot for access to scrambled cable programming.

• Thomson’s Second generation of Hi-PixÆË Picture System for 2004 DLP models combines display technology video optimization with updated Tru-Scan Digital Reality signal processing. Thomson's proprietary DLP bit sequences optimize the HDTV video

for DLP displays. New Tru-Scan Digital Reality digital signal processing algorithms include advanced edge replacement, recursive noise reduction, and digital contrast expansion for a sharper, more realistic picture. Tru-Scan Digital Reality also includes

horizontal and vertical peaking, auto-flesh, and 3-D Y/C frame comb technologies.

• Extensive package of secure digital interfaces. New for 2004 is HDMI (High Definition

Multimedia Interface) with HDCP copy protection, which adds digital audio to the digital video to provide an uncompressed digital audio/video input on a convenient single cable.

This convenient connection replaces the DVI-HDTV video and separate audio connections and is backward compatible with DVI connections on set-top devices (via an

adapter cable). Thomson HDTV Sets also include two DTVLink 1394 interfaces with DTCP copy protection for two-way connections with digital video recorders (DVRs) and other sources of compressed digital audio/video signals (in select models). HDTV Sets

also include optical digital audio output that drives a home theatre audio surround sound system with audio from the built-in digital tuner/decoder.

• Assortment of analog connections including: composite video and left/right audio outputs for archiving programs on an analog VCR and two SyncroScan™ Component

Video inputs for compatibility with DVD players and other digital set-top devices.

• Backlit Touch Sensor Control Panel for convenient one-touch access to TV control

functions plus backlit Universal Remote Control.

RCA Scenium Profiles Page 3

• NetConnect Ethernet connection for broadband access to home networks and the Internet.

Built-in Internet Explorer 6.0 browser delivers Web content as well as photo images from

a home computer onto the TV screen. (select models)

• 2004 edition of the TV Guide On Screen™ Interactive Program Guide for details on

current and upcoming terrestrial and cable shows. One-touch recording sends HDTV

signals to hard-disc HDTV video recorders and analog signals to VCRs.

• Simulated surround sound processing drives six-line level analog audio outputs when external digital surround sound system is unavailable.

The entire RCA Scenium DLP HDTV line embraces 16x9 widescreen display panorama and boasts the industry’s most advanced performance technologies integrated in a user-friendly

design. Even in well-lighted room conditions, the RCA Scenium DLP models provide clear, crisp

color images, a distinct advantage over other microdisplay technologies that require darkened rooms for optimum color performance.

"At Thomson, our focus is on delivering to consumers the optimum digital home theatre

experience with the latest display technologies, robust audio, and compatibility with multiple entertainment components," said O’Hara. "With the RCA Scenium ultra-thin and space saving

Profiles HDTV DLP models, we have developed what we believe are the industry’s finest home entertainment products."

CEA AND COMCAST MEDIA CENTER UNVEIL CONSUMER EDUCATION HDTV VIDEO

AT 2004 INTERNATIONAL CES 

“CONSUMER’S GUIDE TO HDTV”AVAILABLE TO RETAILERS AND CONSUMERS 

 Las Vegas, Nev.,   – Joining forces to help bring consumers more information regarding the analog to digital television (DTV) transition, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the Comcast Media Center (CMC) unveiled a consumer-oriented video about high-definition television (HDTV) technology at the 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).  

Produced in high-definition (HD) and displayed in the CES HDTV Sports Bar, that was located in the LVCC South Hall Upper Level Lobby, the “Consumer’s Guide to HDTV” video is based on CEA’s original print brochure titled, “A Consumer’s Guide to the Wonderful World of HDTV.”   CEA is making the video available to a wide audience, including consumers, in standard-definition DVD format.  The video is available to retailers from CMC in HD format.  

 In the video, Suzanne Kantra, technology editor for Popular Science Magazine and a member of the 2004 International CES Advisory Committee, and Jim Barry, the media spokesman for CEA who has been leading its HDTV Updates in local markets nationwide, guide consumers through a menu of eight segments, including: “What is HDTV?,” “How Do I Receive it?,” “Digital Cable Ready HDTV” and “Digital TV Shopping Guide.”  The video also includes Internet resources providing further information for consumers. 

“Having a guide to HDTV that uses HD technology is a perfect way to give consumers the information they need at the time and place they need it most – at the retail point-of-sale.  By making the content available in DVD as well, we are offering consumers the opportunity to review the information in the comfort of their own home.”

 According to sales figures from CEA Market Research, more than 8 million DTV units have been sold since DTV was introduced in the fourth quarter of 1998.  The increasing array of

HDTV programming available via digital cable, satellite and over-the-air is further propelling the DTV transition forward.

“CEA recognizes that as consumer interest and demand continue to grow, it’s important to provide accurate and timely information,” Shapiro continued.  “We also appreciate Comcast Media Center’s support and participation in our growing HDTV education initiative, which will help to increase consumers’ and the retail industry’s access to our informational materials.  Inter-industry cooperation is essential to help consumers better understand the value and benefits of DTV.”

 “We were very impressed with the efforts that CEA is making to educate consumers about HDTV and viewed collaborating on the HDTV video as a great way to lend support while demonstrating our HDTV production and distribution capabilities,” said Gary Traver, senior vice president and COO for the CMC.
