It allows the user to hook up and external video source, such as TV cable, VCR, Laserdisc, etc., and view it on the active matrix color LCD of the TP 750C/755C, as if on a TV screen. The TV Tuner is only available for the 750C/755C models because the active matrix screen is the only LCD technology fast enough to keep up with full-motion video. The monochrome and passive matrix screens would have unacceptable image quality, due to excessive "ghosting" of images. This module, coupled with the built-in speaker and audio chip (and the optional docking unit for CD-ROM and/or full-motion-video adapter), and large removable hard disk drives, makes the 750C the ideal traveling multimedia presentation system. For ultimate flexibility, there is an optional kit that allows the diskette drive to be connected externally at the same time the TV Tuner module is installed. The TV Tuner module may also be interchanged with the CDPD module. " Anyone know whether this will also work with the TP 560 Active Matrix TFT screen? Maybe this is an old IBM write-up?
