High Definition signal. It has a universal

connection for both analog YPbPr and
uncompressed Digital connection of DVI or
HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p,

Digital Crystal Clear

Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture
i

nnovations that digitally adjusts and optimizes
picture quality to optimal contrast, color and
sharpness levels. It's like watching vivid cinema­like images.

Progressive Scan

Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, both
fields are written at one time. A full image is

created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.

Smart Picture and Smart Sound

Philips preset modes for Smart Picture and
Smart Sound
a single key on the remote control. You can
select optimized picture and sound settings for
the various picture and sound modes.

HDMI input

HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
c

onnection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The non­degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently
communicates the highest output resolution
with the source device. The HDMI input is fully
backward compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection.

PC input

With PC input you can connect your TV to a
c

omputer and use the TV as a PC monitor.
