Highlights
Widescreen flat TV with Pixel Plus 2 HD and Ambilight 2 channel
42" LCD HD Ready
Full HD LCD display 1920 x 1080p
This display has a resolution that is referred to
as Full HD. The state-of-the-art LCD screen
technology has the full high definition
widescreen resolution of 1080 progressive
lines, each with 1920 pixels. This allows the
best possible picture quality for HD input
signals with up to 1080 lines. It produces
brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures
with optimum brightness and superb colours.
This vibrant and sharp image will provide you
with an enhanced viewing experience.
HD Ready
Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of High
Definition pictures and be fully prepared for
HD sources like HDTV set-top boxes and Blu-
ray discs. 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 an HD
screen that displays the benefits of resolution
and picture quality of a High Definition signal.
It has a universal connection for both analogue
YPbPr and uncompressed digital connection of
DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display
720p and 1080i signals at 50 and 60 Hz.
Pixel Plus 2 HD
Pixel Plus 2 HD offers the unique combination
of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, increased
depth, vivid colours and smooth and natural
motion from standard TV, High Definition
signals and multimedia sources. Each pixel of
the incoming picture is enhanced to better
match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a
more natural picture. Artefacts in compressed
multimedia content are detected and reduced,
ensuring that the picture is clean and razor
sharp. Digital noise reduction ensures that the
picture is perfectly smooth yet razor sharp.
Ambilight 2 channel
Ambilight makes an impressive contribution to
the overall viewing experience by producing
ambient light to complement the colours and
light intensity of the on-screen image. It adds a
new dimension to the viewing experience,
completely immersing you into the content
you are watching. It creates ambience,
stimulates more relaxed viewing and improves
perceived picture detail, contrast and colour.
Ambilight automatically and independently
adapts its colours according to the changing
content on the screen.
Flat NXT Monolith Speakers
The ground-breaking NXT surface sound
principle has been further developed into the
monolith speaker technology. It actually uses
the outer surface of the TV cabinet as the
speaker membrane. The speakers are now
virtually invisible, bringing a stunning design and
a pure and direct sound radiation.
Motorised swivel stand included
The high-quality stand is designed specifically
for this TV and facilitates easy placement of
your Flat TV without drilling holes in the wall.
Enjoy the finger-tip convenience of finding the
best viewing angle and the magic effect of the
motorised swivel operated by the TV's remote
control. It rotates over a total range of 60
degrees (30 degrees each side), with memory
positions for the central and 'previous'
positions. Invisible Cable management is
included in the back. This stand is designed to
fit on the matching accessory floorstand.
PC-link
The PC-link provides fun and easy access to
your personal digital media files and multimedia
content*. The widely used Ethernet (LAN) and
Wi-Fi open standards are used for wired and
(optional) wireless** connection and ensure
interoperability. Browse your PC collection of
digital photographs, multimedia videos and
music files via your home LAN network. The
intuitive user interface of the TV and the
Philips Multimedia Manager for your PC makes
it available at the push of a button (* see
product for supported formats, PC-LAN

Wireless PC link prepared
Wi-Fi is the leading standard for wireless
broadband. With the wireless prepared
function* in the Philips TV you can share PC
multimedia content anywhere in your house,
without the hassle of wires. High Bandwidth
means you can enjoy high quality multimedia
pictures, music or video, over distances that
can reach up to 100 metres**. Access your
Wi-Fi PC or your home Wi-Fi network
(router). (*requires optional, Wi-Fi Ethernet-
bridge. **may vary under local conditions)
HDMI & DVI-I inputs
HDMI and DVI-I make an uncompressed digital
RGB connection from the source to the
screen. By eliminating any conversion to an
analogue signal, it delivers an unblemished
image. The non-degraded signal has reduced
flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI
intelligently communicates the highest output
resolution with the source device. The HDMI
input is fully backwards-compatible with DVI
sources but also includes digital audio. HDMI
and DVI-I use HDCP copy protection. The
DVI-I input is compatible with analogue
progressive scan, HDTV and PC (VGA) signals.
