HD Ready
Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of High
Definition pictures and be fully prepared for
HD sources like HDTV settop box or Blu-ray
disc. HD Ready is a protected label that offers
picture quality beyond that of progressive scan.
It conforms to strict standards laid out by
EICTA to offer a HD screen that displays the
benefits of resolution and picture quality of a
High Definition signal. It has a universal
connection for both analog YPbPr and
uncompressed Digital connection of DVI or
HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p,
and 1080i signals at 50 and 60Hz.
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.
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.
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.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The non-
degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution
with the source device. The HDMI input is fully
backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection.
PC input
With PC input you can connect your TV to a
computer and use the TV as a PC monitor.
