Compact design with low weight

Philips Single-panel LCOS Imaging System

The Philips single-panel LCOS technology produces unmatched high-resolution and flicker-free video with superb brightness. This technology enables a large-screen-size TV with low weight and shallow depth without any concerns for convergence or image retention.

PixelPlus™

PixelPlus™ creates near high-definition (HD) performance inside the TV on the basis of a regular input signal. By doubling the number of lines and the number of pixels per line, PixelPlus™ enhances both regular broadcasts and DVD input for unparalleled sharpness and depth.

Digital Natural Motion™

Digital Natural Motion™ offers razor-sharp reproduction of movement and motion. Its unique and highly advanced process- ing calculates motion trajectories of moving picture elements. It corrects jerky movement from both studio programs or movie material.

ActiveControl™ Plus

Active Control™ Plus automatically analyzes the incoming sig- nals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and Side video inputs 50 times per second and adjusts key picture settings. In addition to meas- uring picture noise, this feature uses an ambient light sensor to adjust the picture settings according to viewing conditions in the room.

The A/V jack panel allows direct connections with VCRs, DVDs, high-definition receivers, or other devices, providing quality TV picture and sound playback.

AVL keeps the TV sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur at commercial breaks or during program changes are reduced, providing a more consistent, comfortable sound.

V-Chip (with Channel Lock)

The V-Chip feature (with Channel Lock) will allow you to block the viewing of channels or programs with certain ratings, and thus prevent your children from watching inappropriate materials.

Autoprogramming

The TV’s Autoprogram feature searches (when activated) for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores active broadcast stations in the TV’s memory.
