Features

Compact design with low weight

The unique Philips single-panel liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) technology allows for a large screen TV with a very low depth and low weight. This TV will find a place in any living room without occupying a large area, and it can be easily handled by two persons.

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.

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.

Digital CrystalClear™

Digital CrystalClear™—with Dynamic Contrast, comb filter,

9-bit processing, luminance enhancements, and color enhance- ments—offers a crisp and natural picture from any type or quali- ty of source. The comb filter supports the picture demands of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources.

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.

Dolby* Virtual Surround

Dolby processing circuitry provides an enhanced cinema sur- round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

Double-window,Two-Tuner PIP

Your TV features double-window, two-tuner PIP with second tuner double window. The TV also has single PIP (free position- ing), as well as threefold and sixfold side PIPs. In addition, you get photo finish, freeze Main, and freeze PIP. Replay lets you play back the previous few seconds in a PIP screen—if you missed the action, replay it as much as you want.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jack Panel

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

Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) Control

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

Surf Button

Philips Auto Surf™ allows you to easily switch between only the channels that are of interest to you. Surf allows two-channel surfing or nine-channel surfing.
