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).
Incredible Surround™
Incredible Surround is an audio technology
from Philips that dramatically magnifies the
sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using
state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting,
Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left
and right in such a way that it expands the
virtual distance between the two speakers.
This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo
effect and creates a more natural sound
dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to
experience total surround with greater depth
and width of sound, without the use of
additional speakers.
Compact and slim design
This design style emphasizes a slim, compact
look that saves space and fits in anywhere.
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.
1000 page Hypertext
The teletext is a common system transmitted
by most broadcasters. The 1000 page smart
text feature gives you extremely fast access to
information when changing pages.
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.
