Ambilight Spectra 2

The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra 2 adds
a new dimension to the viewing experience.
You feel fully immersed in the images, viewing
becomes a more intensive experience than you
could ever imagine. The compact Power LED
technology integrates seamlessly in the back
cover avoiding any glare to the front. The
separate drive of the LED's creates a multitude
of light segments that fuse into one soft
surround of light. This offers improved display
of onscreen content and a dramatic expansion
of the picture's presence throughout the
room.

Perfect Pixel HD Engine

Perfect Pixel HD Engine offers the unique
combination of ultimate sharpness, natural
detail, vivid colours and smooth natural motion
on all qualities of HD, standard TV signals and
multimedia content, for high-definition
displays. Each pixel of the incoming picture is
enhanced to better match the surrounding
pixels, resulting in a more natural picture.
Artefacts and noise in all sources from
multimedia to standard TV and also in highly
compressed HD content are detected and
reduced, ensuring that the picture is clean and
razor sharp.

Full HD LCD display 1920 x 1080p

Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of Full
High Definition TV signals of HD sources like
HDTV broadcast, or Blu-ray DVD. HD ready
1080p is a protected label that offers picture
quality far beyond that of ordinary HD Ready.
It conforms to strict standards laid out by
EICTA to offer a Full HD screen that displays
the benefits of resolution and picture quality of
a Full HD 1920x1080p High Definition TV
signal. It has a universal connection for both
analogue YPbPr and uncompressed Digital
connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting
HDCP. It can display 1080p progressive signals
at 24, 50 and 60Hz.

Perfect Natural Motion

Philips invented Perfect Natural Motion to
eliminate juddering effects that are visible with
movie-based picture content. Perfect Natural
Motion estimates motion in the picture and
corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and recorded movie material (such
as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). Perfect Natural
Motion results in even smoother and quieter
pictures with excellent sharpness. Perfect
Natural Motion removes judder from SD and
HD pictures, including 1080p movies and 24p
True Cinema, for a motion performance that
surpasses the cinema!

100Hz Clear LCD (2ms)

100Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion
sharpness for clear and vibrant images even
wit h fa st on -s cre en mo ti on. Th e D oub le Fr am e
Rate Insertion works with a high 100Hz
refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of
motion reproduction to more than twice that
of conventional LCD, resulting in performance
with a response time of 2 milliseconds
(measured in Perceived Blur-Edge-Width;
BEW). This unique Philips technology brings

motion sharpness of LCD displays to an
unprecedented level.

2250 trillion colour processing

Vibrant and natural images from most
advanced colour processing. The 17 bit colour
booster optimises each of the 3 colour
channels (RGB), a total processing power of
2250 trillion colours. It produces more vibrant
colours while retaining excellent sharpness.
The advanced algorithms detect skin tones and
subtle colour shades, and processes these to
give most natural colours.

Dynamic contrast ratio 30000:1

You want the LCD flat display with the highest
contrast and most vibrant images. Philips
advanced video processing combined with
unique extreme dimming and backlight­boosting technology results in vibrant images.
Dynamic Contrast will increase the contrast
with excellent black level and accurate
rendition of dark shades and colours. It gives a
bright, lifelike picture with high contrast and
vibrant colours.

4 HDMI inputs (3+1) + HDMI CEC

EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry
standard protocol to share functionality
between connected devices and the TV. With
Easylink only one remote control is needed to
operate main functionalities on your TV and
connected devices. HDMI makes an
uncompressed digital RGB connection from
the source to the screen for the ultimate
picture quality. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection. With 3 HDMI inputs on the back
and 1 HDMI on the side of the TV you can
connect multiple HD sources, for instance an
HD set-top box, a Blu-ray player, and Game
Console or Digital Camcorder.
