    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.

    LED Lux Display for extreme contrast and brilliance

    The LED Lux Display renders the highest available contrast with stunning brilliance and colours. The revolutionary new LED lights are used in a grid as backlight for the LCD display. Over a thousand LED's are operated selectively. They generate brilliant light in bright image areas, and are dimmed to lowest levels in dark areas and scenes. It creates an image with deepest black alongside maximum light output and colour in bright areas. The result is a stunning picture with extreme contrast, sharpness and vibrant colour.

    Perfect Natural Motion for ultra-smooth Full HD movies

    Enjoy the action without any judder. Perfect Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and pre-recorded movie material (including 1080p movies and 24p True Cinema on Blu-ray and DVD). The result is even smoother and quieter pictures with excellent sharpness. Enjoy motion performance that surpasses cinema quality!

    100 Hz Clear LCD, 2 ms performance for superb motion sharpness

    100 Hz Clear LCD, 2 ms performance for superb motion sharpness

    100 Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion sharpness. The Double Frame Rate Insertion increases the sharpness of motion reproduction to more than twice that of conventional LCD, resulting in a performance with a response time of 2 milliseconds. Now you can enjoy clear images even with fast on-screen motion.

    Dynamic contrast 2.000.000:1 for ultimate brilliant images

    You want the LCD flat display with the highest contrast and most vibrant images. The LED backlight offers this by a unique local dimming of the LEDs. It generates light where it is needed in the image and keeps dark areas supremely black. The excellent dimming enabled by LEDs allows an unsurpassed dynamic contrast ratio of 2.000.000:1. For the first time images are rendered with extreme deep blacks alongside vibrantly coloured amazing bright sections.

    HD ready 1080p for highest quality display of Full HD images

    Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of Full High Definition TV signals of HD sources like HDTV broadcast, or Blu-ray DVD. HD ready 1080p is a protected label that offers picture quality far beyond that of ordinary HD Ready.

    Wide Colour Gamut LCD display for brilliant colours

    x.v.Colour ensures realistic colour reproduction, accurately capturing every tint, hue and depth in order to offer a wide colour range that includes almost twice as many colours as sRGB colour space. x.v.Colour produces colour variations very close to what the human eye can recognise – it even enhances/improves the quality of High Definition video material. Televisions compliant with x.v.Colour will reproduce images in almost the same quality as when it was recorded.

    2250 trillion colours processing

    Vibrant and natural images from most advanced colour processing. The 17 bit colour booster optimises each of the 3 colour channels (RGB), a total processing power of 2250 trillion colours. It produces more vibrant colours while retaining excellent sharpness. The advanced algorithms detect skin tones and subtle colour shades, and processes these to give most natural colours.

    MPEG4 HDTV reception via DVB-T and DVB-Cable tuner*

    The Full HD screen has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest resolution of HD sources for the best possible picture quality. HDTV allows you to receive high definition terrestrial broadcasted content via the built-in tuner. It supports DVB-Terrestrial and DVB-Cable signals for both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats. You will get exceptional picture and sound quality without an additional set-top box.

    4 HDMI inputs with Easylink for a full HD connection

    EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol to share functionality between connected devices and the TV. With Easylink only one remote control is needed to operate main functionalities on your TV and connected devices. HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen for the ultimate picture quality. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection. With 3 HDMI inputs on the back and 1 HDMI on the side of the TV you can connect multiple HD sources, for instance an HD set-top box, a Blu-ray player, and Game Console or Digital Camcorder.
