Product highlights

Plasma High Definition Panel

State-of-the-art plasma screen technology enabling brillant flicker-free picture with optimum brightness and superb colors.

Pixel Plus 2

Pixel Plus™2 is a digital picture processing feature enhancing still and moving pictures. Pixel Plus™ 2 tech- nology makes every single pixel the best it can be, result- ing in brilliant contrast, the ultimate sharpness and incred- ible picture depth every time from every source including High Definition. It not only enhances the sharpness, but also the color reproduction, resulting in the finest color details and superior brilliance.

Ambilight

Research has proven that watching television with Philips unique Ambilight™ results in a noticeably better picture. By relaxing the eyes of the viewer, Philips Ambilight™ allows the perception of more detail, more brightness, more contrast and truer colors. Ambilight™ also offers you a more relaxed viewing via a soft glow on the wall surrounding the TV.

Digital Natural Motion

Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate jud- dering effects that are visible with moving picture content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and movie material (DVD). Smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness are the result.

Active Control Plus+

Active Control Plus automatically analyzes, 50 times per second, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color and Contrast.The ambient light sensor adjusts the settings according to the viewing conditions in the room. Active Control Plus+ thus offers the best possible picture settings any time, any source.
