TV with Digital Crystal Clear
29" Ultra SlimLine HD Ready
Ultra SlimLine TV
Philips SlimLine TV uses a slimmer CRT tube
to give an overall slimmer TV that is up to 40%
thinner than a traditional CRT TV while
delivering the same superior picture quality.
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
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, thus
eliminating the field flickering. The result is a
more stable picture that is relaxing for your
eye.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, both
fields are written at one time. A full image is
created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.
Incredible Surround™
Incredible Surround is an audio technology
from Philips that dramatically magnifies the
sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using
state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting,
Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left
and right in such a way that it expands the
virtual distance between the two speakers.
This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo
effect and creates a more natural sound
dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to
experience total surround with greater depth
and width of sound, without the use of
additional speakers.
Smart Picture and Smart Sound
Philips preset modes for Smart Picture and
Smart Sound provide you with direct access via
a single key on the remote control. You can
select optimized picture and sound settings for
the various picture and sound modes.
Component Video Input (YPbPr)
Component Video is the highest quality
interconnection standard for analog video. It is
sharper than S-video and composite video.
