Highlights
Perfect Pixel HD Engine
Experience unrivalled sharpness and clarity
w
ith Perfect Pixel HD Engine. Each pixel of the
picture is enhanced to match the surrounding
pixels better, resulting in a more natural
picture. The result is a unique combination of
sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours,
superior contrast and smooth natural motion
whatever you are watching. Clean and razor
sharp images result from artefact and noise
detection and reduction in all content sources
— from multimedia to standard TV.
100 Hz Clear LCD
100 Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion
s
harpness for clear and vibrant images even
with fast on-screen motion. The Double Frame
Rate Insertion works with a high 100 Hz
refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of
motion reproduction to more than twice that
of conventional LCDs, resulting in a response
time of 3 milliseconds (measured in Perceived
Blur-Edge-Width; BEW). This unique Philips
technology brings the motion sharpness of
LCD displays to an unprecedented level.
Ambilight Spectra
The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra adds a
m
agical dimension to your viewing experience.
The Active Frame extends the light and
atmosphere of the image far outside the screen
in a soft kaleidoscope of colours. 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
minimise
movie-based picture content. The award
winning algorithm 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.
juddering effects that are visible with
Invisible speakers
An invisible sound system that blends perfectly
w
ith the design of the Aurea. Although invisible
from the outside, and extremely compact
inside, there are no compromises to the
quality of the sound. The new revolutionary
micro speaker array uses 12 speakers per side
to radiate the sound through 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
3 dedicated ambilight keys for effortless
control to personalise your settings. The
centrepiece is an element highlighted by
sophisticated 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
switchs the Ambilight ‘on’ or ‘off’, as easily as
using a lightswitch on the wall. The TV Menu
offers access to addtional settings
