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.

100Hz Clear LCD

100Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion
sharpness for clear and vibrant images even
with fast on-screen motion. The Double Frame
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 a response

time of 3 milliseconds (measured in Perceived
Blur-Edge-Width; BEW). This unique Philips
technology brings motion sharpness of LCD
displays to an unprecedented level.

Ambilight Spectra

The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra adds a
magical dimension to the viewing experience.
The Active Frame extends the light and
atm os phe re of th e i mag e f ar out si de th e sc re en
in a soft kaleidoscope of colors. You feel fully
immersed in the images, viewing becomes a
more intensive experience than you could ever
imagine. The compact LED technology enables
a total of 126 power LEDs to be placed around
the screen. This creates a multitude of
segments that fuse into one soft surround of
light in the Active Frame, directly enveloping
the screen and flowing seamlessly into a soft
halo on the wall.

HD Natural Motion

Philips invented HD Natural Motion to
eliminate juddering effects that are visible with
movie based picture content. HD 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). The resulting
smooth motion reproduction and excellent
sharpness take the viewing experience to a
higher level. HD Natural Motion removes
judder from SD and HD pictures, including

1080p, for a motion performance that
surpasses the cinema!

Invisible speakers

An invisible sound system that blends perfectly
with the design of the Aurea. Although invisible
from the outside and extremely compact
inside, there are no compromises to the
performance of the sound. The new
revolutionary micro speaker array uses 12
sp eake rs pe r side to rad iate t he so und th rough
an invisible thin slot at the front of the TV.
They give a clear and spacious sound stage
complementary to the rich viewing experience.
The bass frequencies are generated by 2
powerful subwoofers integrated in the back of
the TV.

Aurea Navigator

The sleek and luxurious remote control offers
3 dedicated ambilight keys for effortless
control to personalise your settings. The
centrepiece is an element highlighted by
spohisticated material and design, and a touch
operated backlight. This Aurea key controls
the amount of Aurea immersion. The ‘MODE’
button switches the dynamics in 3 levels from
relaxed to dynamic. The ‘Ambilight’ button is
there to switch the Ambilight ‘on’ or ‘off’, as
simple as a lightswitch on the wall. The TV
Menu offers access to addtional settings
