Highlights
Sheet of glass design
Our innovative sheet of glass panel redefines
ho
w you look at your TV—and how your TV
looks. The gradient screen print flowing across
the glass surface transitions from dark to
light—accentuating the TV's floating effect.
Lean it against a wall in a loft or amongst
antiques in a farmhouse, or hang it with
modern art in a gallery—it's always at home
wherever it lives.
Mounting solution
Whether you choose to lean, hang or stand
your new
mounting solution to meet your needs. For
interiors with hard floors, we've created the
edge protector as a buffer between your floor
and the glass panel. Not handy? Philips'
ingenious Simply Straight wall mounting
solution means you don't have to agonise over
accurate measurements when hanging your
TV—it intuitively finds the level every time.
Cable sleeve
Our single cable sleeve gathers all your cables
in
sleeve is designed to stay out of
sight—contoured behind the TV's sight lines to
limit visual clutter.
Ambilight 3-sided XL
This patented Philips technology makes your
s
creen seem much wider—and your viewing
experience more immersive— by projecting an
extra wide glow from three sides of the TV
screen onto the surrounding wall. The colour
automatically adjusts to match the TV picture.
Thanks to a wall-adaptive function, the colour
of the light is perfectly aligned with the TV
picture, regardless of the wall colour. You can
customise the experience using various
settings to suit your viewing preference.
Perfect Pixel HD
Designed to deliver our most advanced flickerfree pi
clarity. Each pixel that composes the picture is
enhanced to better match the surrounding
TV against your wall—there is one
to one neat bundle. The compact cable
ctures with unrivalled sharpness and
pixels. The result is a unique combination of
sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours,
superior contrast and smooth natural motion.
1400 Hz Perfect Motion Rate
For picture movement that looks precise,
s
mooth and natural, Philips created PMR—our
standard for measuring moving image
sharpness. Perfect Motion Rate is the
combined result of our unique video
processing, number of frames per second and
refresh rate of each frame, perfection in
dimming capabilities, and backlighting
technology. A higher PMR number contributes
to higher contrast and better motion
clarity—which means a superior image for you.
Integrated Wi-Fi
Integrated Wi-Fi on your Philips Smart TV
makes co
quick and easy, allowing you to access a world
of content or share wirelessly at home.
