Real Flat picture tube

The flatter tube provides a wider viewing angle while
minimizing reflections for the best picture possible.

Crystal Clear

Combining picture enhancements like Contrast plus and
color improvement, Crystal Clear improves picture depth.

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
ad jus t the pic tur e br ightn ess dep end ing on t he r oom light
conditions.

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.

4x3 Expand

4x3 Expand enables widescreen movies to be viewed on
a 4:3 aspect ratio TV screen by removing the black bars
at the top and bottom of the image. You are able to
watch full-screen movies without compromizing on
picture quality and resolution.

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.

S-Video Input

An S-video format signal preserves the video quality
better than standard video input.
