Product highlights

Flat, Slim,Wide
True Flat Multimedia TV which can be hung on the wall
like a painting.

Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate jud-
dering effects that are visible with moving picture con-
tent. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and movie material (DVD). Smooth motion
reproduction and excellent sharpness are the result.

Digital CrystalClear
A unique package of picture innovations including omb-
filter, Dynamic Contrast, Color Enhancement and Lumi-
nance Transient Processing. Digital Crystal Clear, using
10 bit processing, offers 30% more contrast, natural
colors and a high level of detail.

Full Active Control
Active Control automatically analyses, 50 times per sec-
ond, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color,
Contrast and Picture Format.The ambient light sensor
adjusts the settings according to the viewing conditions
in the room. Active Control thus offers the best possible
picture settings any time, any source.

Compass GUI
The new Compass graphical user interface provides for
easy and intuitive operation and installation through a
dynamic display. Full control of all functions through
clearly layered menus. Built in help function also provid-
ed.

1200 Page HyperText & Wordsearch
Advanced Teletext featuring based upon the new Com-
pass GUI with navigation functions Wordsearch and
HyperText .In HyperText select any word within the
teletext magazine and this system will find all other
mentions of this word within tele-text for that chan-
nel.Wordsearch is similar but you have the freedom to
type in , using the remote control, a word of your
choosing.
