Product highlights
Digital Crystal Clear
Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations
that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to
optimal contrast, color and sharpness levels. It's like
watching vivid cinema-like images.
28.9 billion colors
Vibrant and natural images from most advanced color
processing. The 3 color channels (RGB) are optimized
using 10 bit resolution, a total processing power of 28.9
billion colors. It produces vibrant colors while retaining
excellent sharpness. The advanced algorithms detect
subtle color shades , skin tones and processes these to
give most natural colors.
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.
2 HDMI inputs
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 resolu ti on with th e s ource de vi ce. The HD MI input
is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.
With 2 HDMI inputs you can connect multiple HD
sources, for instance an HD settop box, and a Blu-ray
player. Your TV is fully prepared for the HD future.
EasyLink
EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol
to share func tio nal ity be twe en con necte d de vices and the
TV. With EasyLink only one remote control is needed to
operate main functionalities on your TV and connected
devices. EasyLink uses the standard HDMI cable to
transfer system commands. It works between all
electronic devices equipped with HDMI CEC.
