1.4.2 Ambilight

The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra extends the light

and atmosphere of the image far outside the screen.

You feel fully immersed in the images, adding a magical

dimension to the viewing experience.

Over 150 power LEDs positioned around the screen create

the soft, multicoloured halo in front of the TV and on the

wall.

Ambilight is the innovative technology that automatically

adjusts the colour and brightness of its lighting to match

the TV picture. As well as giving an unprecedented viewing

experience, Ambilight also reduces eyestrain while

watching TV.
