 == RGB Mod Information ==
-This model '''cannot be RGB modded''' due to its 1-chip chassis design. This is a hardware limitation that cannot be overcome. However, since the AV-27S33 already includes component video inputs (YPbPr), it can display high-quality video that is very close to RGB quality, making an RGB mod unnecessary for most users.

 == Setup Tips ==
 * If component video appears in black and white, access the setup menu and enable "component-in" for the appropriate input
-* The V2 Component-In and V1 Component-In menu options allow configuration of component video for different inputs
-* The television includes I2C bus control for advanced service adjustments
