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,

Pixel Plus 3 HD
Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination
of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid
colors and smooth natural motion on all
qualities of HD, standard TV signals and
multimedia content, for high definition displays.
Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced
to better match the surrounding pixels,
resulting in a more natural picture. Artifacts
and noise in all sources from multimedia to
standard TV and also in highly compressed HD
are detected and reduced ensuring that the
picture is clean and razor sharp.
Clear LCD with 3 ms response
Clear LCD creates extreme motion sharpness
for clear and vibrant images even with fast on-
screen motion. The high refresh rates of the
scanning backlight technology increases the
sharpness of motion reproduction down to an
effective response time of 3 milliseconds
(measured in Perceived Blurr-Edge-Width;
BEW). On top it creates a higher dynamic
contrast and an increased viewing angle. The
unique Philips technology brings motion
sharpness of LCD displays to an
unprecedented level, better than any other Flat
display technology.
Ambilight Full Surround
Ambilight 4 makes an impressive contribution
to the overall viewing experience and the
design of the TV. It produces a fully
surrounding glow of light that complements
the colors and light intensity on all 4 sides of
the image and with the unique design creates a
'floating display'. The Ambilight is cast onto a
refelective area that is an integrated part of the
TV's unique design and makes it independent
from TV position or mounting. The
surrounding glow creates ambiance, stimulates
more relaxed viewing, improves perceived
picture detail, contrast and color, and will
completely immerse you.
Lambda/4 sound system
You want a deeper sound experience in music
and movies. The integrated subwoofer with
lambda/4 technology creates a very deep and
powerfull bass in a highly compact enclosure,
keeping the TV slim and flat. The lambda/4
subwoofer unit utilizes resonating acoustic
masses in a system of ducts to produce
powerfull bass with low distortion. The
lambda/4 sound system, combined with high
quality midrange and tweeters also gives a very
spacious stereo image.
Bypacked tabletop stand
A table-top stand with matching design is
packed with the set.
USB and Memory Card slot
Instantaneously view and share your movies,
photos and music. The Memory Card slot will
accept cards of type Compact Flash I and II,
Memory Stick, SD Card / Mini SD Card, Smart
Media, Micro Drive (up to 2 GB) and Multi
Media Card. Simply plug the memory card into
slot at the side of the TV, and access the
multimedia files stored on the card. The USB
connector allows access to multimedia files of
most USB-sticks and most digital cameras (USB
memory-class device).
2 HDMI inputs
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. With 2 HDMI inputs you can
connect multiple HD sources, for instance an
HD settop box, and a Blu-ray player. Your TV
is fully prepared for the HD future.
