1400 Hz Perfect Motion Rate (PMR) for superb motion sharpness

1400 Hz Perfect Motion Rate (PMR) for superb motion sharpness

For picture movement that looks precise, smooth and natural, Philips created PMR—our standard for measuring moving image sharpness. Perfect Motion Rate is the combined result of our unique video processing, number of frames per second and refresh rate of each frame, perfection in dimming capabilities, and backlighting technology. A higher PMR number contributes to higher contrast and better motion clarity—which means a superior image for you.

Perfect Pixel HD—our Award-winning picture quality engine

Designed to deliver our most advanced flicker-free pictures with unrivalled sharpness and clarity. Each pixel that composes 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.

Revolutionary floating glass design—inspire your interior

Our innovative sheet of glass panel redefines how you look at your TV—and how your TV looks. The gradient screen print flowing across the glass surface transitions from dark to light—accentuating the TV's floating effect. Lean it against a wall in a loft or amongst antiques in a farmhouse, or hang it with modern art in a gallery—it's always at home wherever it lives.

Een aanwinst voor je interieur en prettig TV kijken!

Prachtige TV, die weinig ruimte inneemt door het feit dat hij alleen uit een glasplaat bestaat, die tegen een muur aangezet kan worden of opgehangen kan worden. Smart TV, dus snelle toegang tot internet, en via iconen daarna doorschakelen naar Video on Demand, YouTube, Netflix etc. 3D, met bril (bijgeleverd). Na 1 jaar ging bij ons het moederboard kapot, maar dat werd met prima service aan huis hersteld (binnen garantie).
