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, crossluminance 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 blackand-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 ad jus t the pic tur e br ight nes s de pending on t he r oom light 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 ou tp ut resol ut ion with t he source de vi ce. The HD MI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

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 ad ap t to the im ag es o n t he screen to add a ne w s ensatio 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.
