Technical specifications

Product highlights

Flat, Slim, Wide
True flat multimedia TV which can be mounted on the
wall like a painting.

Plasma High Definition Panel
State-of-the-art plasma screen technology enabling brillant
flicker-free picture with optimum brightness and superb
colors.

Pixel  Plus  2
Pixel Plus™2 is a digital picture processing feature
enhancing still and moving pictures. Pixel Plus™ 2 tech-
nology makes every single pixel the best it can be, result-
ing in brilliant contrast, the ultimate sharpness and incred-
ible picture depth every time from every source including
High Definition. It not only enhances the sharpness, but
also the color reproduction, resulting in the finest color
details and superior brilliance.

Ambilight
Research has proven that watching television with Philips
unique Ambilight™ results in a noticeably better picture.
By relaxing the eyes of the viewer, Philips Ambilight™
allows the perception of more detail, more brightness,
more contrast and truer colors. Ambilight™ also offers
you a more relaxed viewing via a soft glow on the wall
surrounding the TV.

Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate jud-
dering effects that are visible with moving picture content.
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.

Active Control Plus+
Active Control Plus automatically analyzes, 50 times per
second, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color and
Contrast.The ambient light sensor adjusts the settings
according to the viewing conditions in the room. Active
Control Plus+ thus offers the best possible picture settings
any time, any source.

Virtual Dolby Surround 
Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema sur-
round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

Full Dual Screen with 2 integrated tuners

nels, either two programs or any combination with Teletext
