Product highlights

Real Flat Black Line S
Philips TV picture tube provides non–distorted picture
quality, while offering a wider viewing angle without light
reflections.Thanks to the highly pigmented phosphors,
the brightness and contrast performance are consider-
ably improved compared to conventional picture tubes.

100 Hz
Conventional Televisions show a picture by scanning 50
times per second (50 Hertz).This frequency can be
detected by the human eye in the form of a field flicker-
ing picture. 100 Hertz sets show a picture by scanning
100 times per second eliminating the field flickering.

Scavem
Scan VElocity Modulation - the speed at which 
the picture lines are "wriiten"on the screen is varied to
ensure that all objects have the most crisp definition
and sharpest edges.

Active Control
Active Control automatically analyses, 50 times per sec-
ond, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture set-
tings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction and Picture
Format. Active Control thus offers the best possible pic-
ture settings any time, any source.

Dolby Virtual 
Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema sur-
round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

1200 Page Easytext
Almost instant access to frequently used teletext pages
(Habitwatch) and the ability to scroll through subpages
without waiting.

Top Controls
Volume and channel change controls on top of the tv to
enable easy adjustment without the remote control.

camcorder, side entry for ease of use.
