Ambilight Spectra 2 enhances the viewing experience
Add a new dimension to your viewing experience with Ambilight Spectra 2. This patented Philips technology enlarges the screen further by projecting a glow of light from the back of the screen onto the surrounding wall. Ambilight automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of the light surrounding the TV to match the picture, creating an immersive viewing experience. With Ambilight Spectra 2 movies truly come to life!
Perfect Pixel HD Engine for unrivalled sharpness and clarity
Experience unrivalled sharpness and clarity with Perfect Pixel HD Engine. Each pixel of the picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture. The result is a unique combination of sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours, superior contrast and smooth natural motion whatever you are watching. Clean and razor-sharp images result from artefact and noise detection and reduction in all content sources - from multimedia to standard TV.

BEST TV EVER
I bought this TV some 12 or more years ago and it's been absolutely perfect. Today I am replacing it with an OLEDTV but only because I have been waiting for the Philips to die and it just keeps on going. A sad day indeed as there is nothing wrong with the TV and the picture is bang on
Pros
Picture and sound perfect
Cons
Now dated but non in appearance

Excellent product - great quality - ambilight is a real treat!
Great tv - Abilight makes watching movies that little bit special and the built in speakers offer precise sounds and deep base. My only issue was with connecting my pc to the tv through HDMI but eventually got it working by using different HDMI ports. Internet TV is good but cold still do with a few more english options.
