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.
Pixel Plus
Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing
technology that increases the number of lines
and the number of pixels. The result is razor
sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth,
every time from any source.
Dynamic contrast enhancer
You want the LCD flat display with the highest
contrast and most vibrant images even at wide
viewing angle. The Philips dynamic contrast
enhancer uses video processing and unique
dimming backlight technology. This delivers
deep rich black levels with increased detail.
The dimming backlight increases the contrast
up to 5 times*, and at the same time improves
the viewing angle. It gives a bright, lifelike
picture with high contrast and vibrant colors,
(* factor between 2 and 5, screen type and
picture content dependant).
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.
Compact and slim design
This design style emphasizes a slim, compact
look that saves space and fits in anywhere.
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.
Picture in Graphics
Picture-in-Graphics is a small window in the
main picture, allowing to watch data/graphics
in your main TV screen. It provides the ability
to simultaneously watch data/graphics and the
TV.
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.
