The full-colour ambient lights offer you relaxed viewing and a unique ambiance, projecting a soft light glow on the walls surrounding the TV. Research has shown that watching television with adapted ambient lighting promotes more relaxed TV viewing. The Ambilight colours automatically adapt to the images on the screen to add a new sensation to the viewing experience. The light can also be switched to fixed colours or various shades of white. In standby mode, the lights can be operated to any colour and create a unique ambiance in the room.
This WXGA display with state-of-the-art LCD screen technology gives you widescreen HD resolution of 1366 x 768p pixels. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colours. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.
Pixel Plus 2 is a digital picture processing technology that improves the resolution of still and moving pictures. It does more than adding pixels; it also makes the pixels better, giving incredible sharpness and picture depth every time and from any source. And it does not just improve the resolution: you also benefit from improved colour reproduction, resulting in the finest colour detail and superior brilliance.
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with moving picture content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of optimising picture quality by measuring and analysing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room lighting conditions.
The ground-breaking NXT surface sound principle has been further developed into the monolith speaker technology. It actually uses the outer surface of the TV cabinet as the speaker membrane. The speakers are now virtually invisible, bringing a stunning design and a pure and direct sound radiation.
Full Dual Screen allows you to divide your TV screen into two halves, each displaying independent pictures from a TV, VCR, DVD or teletext at the same time. Watch your favourite programme while others watch something else, without being disturbed, as the audio for the second screen is available via the headphone output.
Teletext is a common system transmitted by most broadcasters. The 1200-page smart text feature gives you extremely fast access to information when changing pages.
A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed high-bandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analogue, it delivers an unblemished and noise-free image that is clear and flicker-free. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programmes from Digital Set-top boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analogue PC-VGA signals.
