Highlights

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.

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.

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 adjust the picture brightness
depending on the room light conditions.

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 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.
