Technical specifications
Product highlights
Flat, Slim, Wide
True flat multimedia TV which can be mounted on the
wall like a painting.
Plasma Panel
State-of-the-art plasma screen technology enabling brillant
flicker-free picture with optimum brightness and superb
colors.
Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate jud-
dering 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.
Digital Crystal Clear
A unique package of picture innovations including
Combfilter, Dynamic Contrast, Color Enhancement and
Luminance Transient Processing. Digital Crystal Clear, using
10 bit processing, offers 30% more contrast, natural col-
ors and a high level of detail.
Active Control Plus+
Active Control Plus+ automatically analyzes, 50 times per
second, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color and
Contrast.The ambient light sensor adjusts the settings
according to the viewing conditions in the room. Active
Control Plus+ thus offers the best possible picture settings
any time, any source.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema sur-
round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.
