Full HD LCD display 1920 x 1080p
This display has a resolution that is referred to
as
Full HD. The state-of-the-art LCD screen
technology has the full high definition
widescreen resolution of 1080 progressive
lines, each with 1920 pixels. This allows the
best possible picture quality for HD input
signals with up to 1080 lines. It produces
brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures
with optimum brightness and superb colours.
This vibrant and sharp image will provide you
with an enhanced viewing experience.
Integrated Digital DVB-T tuner
The integrated Digital DVB-T tuner lets you
receive
digital terrestrial TV without an
additional set top box. Enjoy quality TV clutter
free.
HD Ready
Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of High
Definiti
on pictures and be fully prepared for
HD sources like HDTV set-top boxes and Bluray discs. HD Ready is a protected label that
offers picture quality beyond that of
progressive scan. It conforms to strict
standards laid out by EICTA to offer an HD
screen that displays the benefits of the
resolution and picture quality of a High
Definition signal. It has a universal connection
for both analogue YPbPr and uncompressed
Digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting
HDCP. It can display 720p, and 1080i signals at
50 and 60 Hz.
Pixel Plus 3 HD
Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination
o
f ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid
colours 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. Artefacts
and noise in all sources from multimedia to
standard TV and also in highly compressed HD
are detected and reduced, ensuring that the
picture is clean and razor sharp.
Ambilight Surround
With lights surrounding the picture, Ambilight
3 mak
es an impressive contribution to the
overall viewing experience with ambient light
on 3 sides to complement the colours and light
intensity of the image on screen. It creates
ambience, stimulates more relaxed viewing and
improves perceived picture detail, contrast and
colour. Ambilight 3 automatically and
independently adapts the colours of each
screen side according to the changing content
on the screen. With the third Ambilight the
top of the picture is now fully surrounded,
completely immersing you into the content.
Swivel stand included
For maximum freedom of placement, this highqu
ality stand is designed specifically for this TV
and allows easy placement of your Flat TV
without drilling holes in the wall. Enjoy the best
viewing angle with the convenience of 40
degrees swivel (20 degrees each side). Invisible
cable management is included in the back. This
stand fits seamlessly on the matching accessory
floor stand.
PC-link
The PC-link provides fun and easy access to
y
our personal digital media files and multimedia
content*. The widely used Ethernet (LAN) and
Wi-Fi open standards are used for wired and
(optional) wireless** connection and ensure
interoperability. Browse your PC collection of
digital photographs, multimedia videos and
music files via your home LAN network. The
intuitive user interface of the TV and the
Philips Multimedia Manager for your PC makes
it available at the push of a button (* see
product for supported formats, PC-LAN
functionality required ** Additional 'Ethernetbridge' device required)
Wireless PC link prepared
Wi-Fi is the leading standard for wireless
b
roadband. With the wireless prepared
function* in the Philips TV you can share PC
multimedia content anywhere in your house,
without the hassle of wires. High Bandwidth
means you can enjoy high quality multimedia
pictures, music or video, over distances that
can reach up to 100 metres**. Access your
Wi-Fi PC or your home Wi-Fi network
(router). (*requires optional, Wi-Fi Ethernetbridge. **may vary under local conditions)
USB and Memory Card slot
Instantaneously view and share your movies,
p
hotos and music. The Memory Card slot will
accept cards of the following types: Compact
Flash I and II, Memory Stick, SD Card/Mini SD
Card, Smart Media, Micro Drive (up to 2 GB)
and Multi Media Card. Simply plug the memory
card into the slot at the side of the TV and
access the multimedia files stored on the card.
The USB connector allows access to
multimedia files on most USB sticks and most
digital cameras (USB memory-class device).
2 HDMI inputs
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
c
onnection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analogue 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
backwards-compatible with DVI sources but
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy
protection. With 2 HDMI inputs you can
connect multiple HD sources, for instance an
HD set-top box and a Blu-ray player. Your TV
is fully prepared for the HD future.
