Pixel Plus 2
Pixel Plus 2 is a digital picture processing technology that
improves the resolution of still and moving pictures. It
does more than adding pixels, it also makes the pixels
better, resulting incredible sharpness and picture depth
every time and from any source. And it does not just
improve the resolution either, because you also benefit
from improved color reproduction, resulting in the finest
color details and superior brilliance.
3D Combfilter
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals
better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-
luminance and dot-crawl distortion - all of which detract
from your viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter
performs field-by-field comparisons of the television
image to accurately separate the color from the black-
and-white information and remove both horizontally and
vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is
a razor sharp image.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of
optimizing picture quality by measuring and analyzing
the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality
settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to
adjus t th e pi ctu re b rig htn ess d epe ndi ng o n th e ro om l igh t
conditions.
Flat NXT Monolith Speakers
The ground-breaking NXT surface sound principle has
been further developed into the monolith speaker
technology It actually uses the outer surface of the TV
cabinet as the speaker membrane. The speakers are now
virtually invisible, bringing a stunning design, and a pure
and direct sound radiation.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing technology for
enhancing surround sound effects. It will create the
sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the necessity of
additional rear speakers. You become totally immersed in
your television experience.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection
from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion
to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The
non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer
picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest
outp ut r es ol uti on wi th t he sou rc e d evi ce . T he H DM I i npu t
is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy p rotectio n.
Ambilight
The full-color ambient lights offers you relaxed viewing
and a unique ambiance via a soft light glow on the walls
surrounding the TV. Research has shown that watching
television with adapted ambient lighting promotes more
relaxed TV viewing. the Ambilight colors automatically
adap t to th e i mag es on the sc re en t o a dd a ne w s ens at io n
to the viewing experience. The light can also be switched
to fixed colors or various shades of white. In standby
mode, the lights can be operated to any color and create
a unique ambiance in the room.
Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate
juddering effects that are visible with moving picture
content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD).
The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent
sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.
