Highlights

Ultra SlimLine TV

Philips SlimLine TV uses a slimmer CRT tube to give an overall slimmer TV that is up to 40% thinner than a traditional CRT TV while delivering the same superior picture quality.

Digital Crystal Clear

Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to optimal contrast, color and sharpness levels. It's like watching vivid cinema- like images.

100Hz

Conventional TV shows a picture by scanning 50 times per second (50Hz). This frequency can be detected by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. 100Hz sets show a picture by scanning 100 times per second, thus eliminating the field flickering. The result is a more stable picture that is relaxing for your eye.

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.

Incredible 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 allows you to experience total surround with greater depth and width of sound, without the use of additional speakers.

Smart Picture and Smart Sound Philips preset modes for Smart Picture and Smart Sound provide you with direct access via a single key on the remote control. You can select optimized picture and sound settings for the various picture and sound modes.

Component Video Input (YPbPr)

Component Video is the highest quality interconnection standard for analog video. It is sharper than S-video and composite video.
