Ambilight Spectra 2-sided intensifies the viewing experience

Add a new dimension to your viewing experience with Ambilight Spectra 2. This patented Philips technology enlarges the screen by projecting a glow of light from 2 sides of the back of the TV screen onto the surrounding wall. Ambilight automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of the light to match the TV picture. Thanks to the wall-adaptive function, the colour of the light is perfect, regardless of your wall colour.

Full HD TV and Perfect Pixel HD Engine for unrivalled clarity

Experience unrivalled sharpness and clarity with Perfect Pixel HD Engine. Each pixel of the picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels. The result is a unique combination of sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours, superior contrast and smooth natural motion. Clean and razor sharp images come from artefact and noise detection and reduction in all content sources. The Full HD screen with 1920x1080 pixels produces brilliant flicker-free pictures with superb brightness.

3D Max for a truly immersive Full HD 3D experience

Be enthralled by 3D movies in your own living room with the 3D Max. The combination of the fast display and Active shutter glasses bring real-life depth in Full HD resolution. Now all 2D content can be experienced in 3D and you can even control the depth of the 3D to your liking. Your TV is ready for the 3D Max experience — just add the 3D Max glasses.

Brilliant LED images with incredible contrast

The most advanced LED lighting technology in this Full HD LED TV combines an eye-catching minimalistic design with stunning image quality as well as the lowest power consumption in its category. On top of that, LED lighting technology does not contain any hazardous materials. Thus, with LED backlights you can enjoy low power consumption, high brightness, incredible contrast, sharpness and vibrant colours.

800 Hz Perfect Motion Rate (PMR) for superb motion sharpness

800 Hz Perfect Motion Rate (PMR) creates extreme motion sharpness for even clearer and more vibrant images in fast action movies. The new Philips PMR standard shows the combined visible effect of the fastest panel refresh rate, Perfect Natural Motion and unique processing formula, for unprecedented motion sharpness.

28 W SoundStage for dynamic powerful sound in an ultra slim TV

Philips SoundStage with 28 W RMS output power has far more dynamism and power than anything heard on LCD TVs today. Now, we can combine an ultra-thin design with powerful TV sound. The TV stand houses an advanced speaker system, which combines deep, warm bass with excellent clarity. And you can also enjoy the excellent sound experience in the wall-mount position.
