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 seamless in the
backcover 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 an improved
following of onscreen content and a dramatic
extention of the picture in the room.

Perfect Pixel HD Engine

Perfect Pixel HD Engine offers the unique
combination of ultimate sharpness, natural
detail, vivid colors 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. Artifacts
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.

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 creates extreme motion
sharpness for clear and vibrant images even
wit h f as t o n- sc re en mo ti on. Th e D ou bl e F ra me
Rate Insertion works with a high 100Hz
refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of
motion reproduction to more than twice that

milliseconds (measured in Perceived Blur­Edge-Width; BEW). This unique Philips
technology brings motion sharpness of LCD
displays to an unprecedented level.

2250 trillion color processing

advanced color processing. The 17 bit color
booster optimises each of the 3 color channels
(RGB) , a total processing power of 2250

subtle color shades, and processes these to
give most natural colors.
