21PT5505 specifications

The Philips 21PT5505 is a classic television model that gained popularity during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Known for its robust design and remarkable picture quality for its time, this television set embodies the transitional phase of TVs, moving from bulky CRT designs to the sleeker profiles that would follow in the future.

One of the standout features of the Philips 21PT5505 is its 21-inch screen, which offers a diagonal measurement that strikes a balance between compactness and screen real estate, making it suitable for a variety of room sizes. The television's CRT technology is notable for producing deep contrast ratios and vibrant colors, allowing for a viewing experience that many users appreciated before the advent of flat-screen technology.

The television also comes equipped with Philips' well-regarded picture improvement technologies. Features such as the Color Processing System enhance the overall color saturation and sharpness, making images appear more lifelike. This model incorporates a 100Hz scan rate, which significantly reduces motion blur, especially beneficial when watching fast-paced scenes in action films or sports broadcasts.

Audio quality is equally important, and the 21PT5505 does not disappoint. It boasts a built-in sound system that provides clear audio output. The television includes various sound modes that allow users to customize their listening experience based on the type of content being consumed.

Connectivity options in the Philips 21PT5505 include standard composite video inputs, making it compatible with various external devices like VCRs and gaming consoles of its era. A notable feature is its versatility to connect to both broadcast signal antennas and standard cable systems, increasing its usability for different viewing preferences.

In terms of user interface, the model is straightforward. It features a simple remote control that allows for easy navigation through channels, volume, and settings. Additionally, the menu configuration is intuitive, making it user-friendly for those who might not be technologically savvy.

In summation, the Philips 21PT5505 embodies the strengths of its generation, focusing on picture quality, sound performance, and user accessibility. While it may seem basic by today’s standards, its legacy remains a testament to Philips’ dedication to producing reliable, high-quality television experiences.
