Highlights
Widescreen flat TV with Pixel Plus 2 and Ambilight
107cm (42") LCD
Pixel Plus 2
Pixel Plus 2 is a digital picture processing
technology that improves the resolution of still
and moving pictures. It does more than adding
pixels, it also makes the pixels better, resulting
incredible sharpness and picture depth every
time and from any source. And it does not just
improve the resolution either, because you
also benefit from improved color
reproduction, resulting in the finest color
details and superior brilliance.
3D Combfilter
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and
color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate
cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl
distortion - all of which detract from your
viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter
performs field-by-field comparisons of the
television image to accurately separate the
color from the black-and-white information
and remove both horizontally and vertically
hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is
a razor sharp image.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way
of optimizing picture quality by measuring and
analyzing the incoming signal to automatically
adjust picture quality settings. Active Control
with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the
picture brightness depending on the room light
conditions.
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.
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.
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.
Ambilight
The full-color ambient lights offers you relaxed
viewing and a unique ambiance via a soft light
glow on the walls surrounding the TV.
Research has shown that watching television
with adapted ambient lighting promotes more
relaxed TV viewing. the Ambilight colors
automatically adapt to the images on the
screen to add a new sensation to the viewing
experience. The light can also be switched to
fixed colors or various shades of white. In
standby mode, the lights can be operated to
any color and create a unique ambiance in the
room.
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
recorded movie material (such as DVD). The
resulting smooth motion reproduction and
excellent sharpness take the viewing
experience to a higher level.
