wall like a painting.

Plasma High Definition Panel

State of the art plasma screen technology enabling
brillant flicker free picture with optimum brightness
and superb colours.This vibrant and sharp image will
offer you the enhanced viewing experience.

Pixel Plus 2

Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing feature which
improves the resolution of still and moving pictures.
Pixel Plus 2 technology does more than adding pixels,
it also makes the pixels better, resulting in the ultimate
sharpness and incredible picture depth every time from
every source. It does not only improve the resolution
but also the colour reproduction, resulting in the finest
colour details and superior brilliance.

Ambilight

The full colour Ambilight offers you relaxed viewing and
a unique ambiance via a soft glow of light on the wall
surrounding the TV. Research has proven that watching
television with adapted ambient lighting will improve
and relax TV viewing.The automatic adaptation of the
Ambilight colours with the images on the screen will
maximise the viewing experience.The light can also be
switched to fixed colours and different shades of white.
In standby mode the lights can be operated to any
colour 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 movie material (DVD).Smooth motion
reproduction and excellent sharpness are the result.

Full ActiveControl

Active Control automatically analyses, 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 thus offers the best possible picture set­tings any time, any source.

Virtual Dolby Surround

Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema sur­round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.
