TV with Digital Crystal Clear

29" real flat 100Hz digital scan

Highlights

 

Real Flat picture tube

The flatter tube provides a wider viewing angle while 

minimizing reflections for the best picture possible.

Digital Crystal Clear

Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture 

innovations that digitally adjusts and optimizes 

picture quality to optimal contrast, color and 

sharpness levels. It's like watching vivid cinema-like 

images.

100Hz Digital Scan

A conventional TV shows a picture by scanning 50 

times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be 

detected by the human eye in the form of a flickering 

picture. 100Hz sets show a picture by scanning 100 

times per second eliminating the field flickering. 

Philips' digital scan doubles the rate of line flicker, 

making it undetectable. The result is a more stable 

picture that is relaxing for your eye.

Active Control

Active Control ensure that noise and sharpness 

improvements are continuously made at a rate of 60 

times per second. By continually adjusting picture 

setting over 3,000 times per minute, Active Control 

Plus ensures that the viewing experience is 

optimized.

Virtual Dolby Surround

Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing technology 

for enhancing surround sound effects. It will create 

the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the 

necessity of additional rear speakers. You become 

totally immersed in your television experience.

100 page Smart Text

The teletext is a common system transmitted by 

most broadcasters. The 100 page smart text feature 

gives you fast access to information when changing 

pages.
