Flat TV with Perfect Pixel HD Engine and Ambilight Spectra
107cm (42") LCD
Perfect Pixel HD Engine
Experience unrivalled sharpness and clarity
with Perfect Pixel HD Engine. Each pixel of the
picture is enhanced to better match the
surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural
picture. The result is a unique combination of
sharpness, natural detail, vivid colors superior
contrast and smooth natural motion whatever
you are watching. Clean and razor sharp
images result from artifact and noise detection
and reduction in all content sources - from
multimedia to standard TV.
100Hz Clear LCD
100Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion
sharpness for clear and vibrant images even
with fast on-screen motion. The Double Frame
Rate Insertion works with a high 100Hz
refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of
motion reproduction to more than twice that
of conventional LCD, resulting in a response
time of 3 milliseconds (measured in Perceived
Blur-Edge-Width; BEW). This unique Philips
technology brings motion sharpness of LCD
displays to an unprecedented level.
Ambilight Spectra
The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra adds a
magical dimension to the viewing experience.
The Active Frame extends the light and
atmosphere of the image far outside the screen
in a soft kaleidoscope of colors. You feel fully
immersed in the images, viewing becomes a
more intensive experience than you could ever
imagine. The compact LED technology enables
a total of 126 power LEDs to be placed around
the screen. This creates a multitude of
segments that fuse into one soft surround of
light in the Active Frame, directly enveloping
the screen and flowing seamlessly into a soft
halo on the wall.
HD Natural Motion
Philips invented HD Natural Motion to
minimize juddering effects that are visible with
movie based picture content. The award
winning algorithm estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in
both broadcast and recorded movie material
(such as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). The resulting
smooth motion reproduction and excellent
sharpness take the viewing experience to a
higher level.
Invisible speakers
An invisible sound system that blends perfectly
with the design of the Aurea. Although invisible
from the outside and extremely compact
inside, there are no compromises to the
performance of the sound. The new
revolutionary micro speaker array uses 12
speakers per side to radiate the sound through
an invisible thin slot at the front of the TV.
They give a clear and spacious sound stage
complementary to the rich viewing experience.
The bass frequencies are generated by 2
powerful subwoofers integrated in the back of
the TV.
Aurea Navigator
The sleek and luxurious remote control offers
3 dedicated ambilight keys for effortless
control to personalise your settings. The
centrepiece is an element highlighted by
spohisticated material and design, and a touch
operated backlight. This Aurea key controls
the amount of Aurea immersion. The ‘MODE’
button switches the dynamics in 3 levels from
relaxed to dynamic. The ‘Ambilight’ button is
there to switch the Ambilight ‘on’ or ‘off’, as
simple as a lightswitch on the wall. The TV
Menu offers access to addtional settings
