LCD WXGA display, 1366 x 768p
This WXGA display with state-of-the-art LCD
s
creen technology gives you widescreen HD
resolution of 1366 x 768p pixels. It produces
brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures
with optimum brightness and superb colors.

with an enhanced viewing experience.
Integrated HDTV Cable Ready
The built-in HDTV tuner that receives and
disp
lays terrestrial ATSC and unscrambled
cable signals
Pixel Plus
Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing
te
chnology that increases the number of lines
and the number of pixels. The result is razor
sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth,
every time from any source.
Dynamic contrast enhancer
You want the LCD flat display with the highest
contrast
and most vibrant images even at wide
viewing angle. The Philips dynamic contrast
enhancer uses video processing and unique
dimming backlight technology. This delivers
deep rich black levels with increased detail.
The dimming backlight increases the contrast
up to 5 times*, and at the same time improves
the viewing angle. It gives a bright, lifelike
picture with high contrast and vibrant colors,
(* factor between 2 and 5, screen type and
picture content dependant).
Dolby Digital Surround
Because Dolby Digital and DTS, the world's
l
eading digital multi-channel audio standards,
make use of the way the human ear naturally
processes sound, you experience superb
quality surround sound audio with realistic
spatial cues.
USB Multimedia Connector
The USB connector allows access to
m
ultimedia jpg, mp3 and alb files of most USB-
sticks and most digital cameras (USB 1.1
memory-class device). Plug the USB into the
slot at the side of the TV and access your
photos or music files. This makes you easily
viewing and sharing your photos and music.
Plug & Play
Plug & Play gives you the ability to install or add
a
new component and have it work without
having to perform any complex installation
procedure or technical analysis.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
c
onnection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The nondegraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution
with the source device. The HDMI input is fully
backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection.
