The invention provides a television, which comprises a
signal demodulation module, a
video decoding module, a
video image scaling module, a display
mode control module, a preset image providing module and a video display module, the
signal demodulation module is used for receiving and demodulating television signals, the
video decoding module is used for decoding television program video signals received by the television, the
video image scaling module is used for scaling decoded video signals, so that the size of the processed video
signal is matched with the size of the display area of the
television screen, the
video image scaling module includes two operating
modes, i.e. an image full screen mode and an image filling mode, the display
mode control module is used for selecting the operating mode of the video image scaling module, the preset image providing module is used for providing a preset filling image for the video image scaling module under the image filling mode, and the video display module is used for displaying scaled video images. The television can provide good
visual experience for users and prevent the occurrence of the
image persistence phenomenon. The invention also provides an
image display method of the television.
