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

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

Pixel Plus 3 HD
Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination
of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid
colours and smooth natural motion on all
qualities of HD, standard TV signals and
multimedia content for high definition displays.
Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced
to better match the surrounding pixels,
resulting in a more natural picture. Artefacts
and noise in all sources from multimedia to
standard TV and also in highly compressed HD
are detected and reduced, ensuring that the
picture is clean and razor sharp.
Clear LCD with 3 ms response
Clear LCD creates extreme motion sharpness
for clear and vibrant images even with fast on-
screen motion. The high refresh rates of the
scanning backlight technology increases the
sharpness of motion reproduction down to an
effective response time of 3 milliseconds
(measured in Perceived Blur-Edge-Width;
BEW). It also creates a higher dynamic
contrast and an increased viewing angle. The
unique Philips technology brings motion
sharpness of LCD displays to an
unprecedented level, better than any other Flat
display technology.
Ambilight Full Surround
Ambilight 4 makes an impressive contribution
to the overall viewing experience and the
design of the TV. It produces a fully
surrounding glow of light that complements
the colours and light intensity on all 4 sides of
the image and with the unique design creates a
'floating display'. The Ambilight is cast onto a
reflective area that is an integrated part of the
TV's unique design and makes it independent
from TV position or mounting. The
surrounding glow creates ambience, stimulates
more relaxed viewing, improves perceived
picture detail, contrast and colour, and will
completely immerse you.
Lambda/4 sound system
You want a deeper sound experience in music
and movies? The integrated subwoofer with
lambda/4 technology creates a very deep and
powerful bass in a highly compact enclosure,
keeping the TV slim and flat. The lambda/4
subwoofer unit utilises resonating acoustic
masses in a system of ducts to produce
powerful bass with low distortion. The lambda/
4 sound system, combined with high quality
midrange and tweeters also gives a very
spacious stereo image.
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

card into the slot at the side of the TV and

2 HDMI inputs
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analogue 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
backwards-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 set-top box and a Blu-ray player. Your TV
is fully prepared for the HD future.
