Product highlights

Plasma WXGA Panel, 1024 x 768p
This state-of-the-art plasma screen technology gives you
widescreen HD resolution of up to 1024 x 768p pixels.
It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan
pictures with optimum brightness and superb colors.
This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an
enhanced viewing experience.
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.
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.
2.6
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the
image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead
of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen
first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields
are written at one time. A full image is created
instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such
a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no
line structure.
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.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips
that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse
you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase
shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and
right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance
between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly
enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural
sound dimension. Incredible Surround means you
experience total surround with greater depth and width
of sound without the use of additional speakers.
