Product highlights
Flat, Slim, Wide
True Flat Multimedia TV which can be mounted on the
wall like a painting.
Plasma WVGA Panel
State of the art plasma screen technology enabling
brillant flicker free picture with optimum brightness
and superb colours.This vibrant and sharp image will
offer you the enhanced viewing experience.
Pixel Plus
Uses the power of the Pixel Plus processor to increase
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.
Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate
juddering effects that are visible with moving picture
content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and movie material (DVD). Smooth motion
reproduction and excellent sharpness are the result.
Full Active Control
Active Control automatically analyses, 50 times per sec-
ond, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color
and Contrast.The ambient light sensor adjusts the set-
tings according to the viewing conditions in the room.
Active Control thus offers the best possible picture set-
tings any time, any source.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema sur-
round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

dom to type in, using the remote control, a word of
