Product highlights

100Hz Digital Scan

Eliminates picture flickering and line jitter offering a 
stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain).

Progressive Scan

Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture
lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at
once.This minimizes the visibility of the scan lines.

Auto IntelliSense™ Focus

Automatically adjust picture convergence at the push of
a button.After reviewing a special test pattern, optical
sensors send position information to the controller,
which then corrects the pictures.Auto IntelliSense"!
Focus responds to the natural and man-made magnetic
field conditions where the projection TV is located, so
you always enjoy the best possible picture.

Philips HD Pix optics system

The Philips HD Pix optics system answers the demand
for extreme resolution HD with cutting edge 
processing and display technology, including micro 
phosphor CRTs, hybrid projection lenses, first surface
mirrors, fine pitched Lenticular screens, and Philips
Wideband video amplifier.

Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation —
APAC

Non-moving images can be bad for a television screen. If
a video image remains stationary, it can eventually leave
a permanent after-image on the screen.Video games and
the stationary black bars which outline standard 4:3
programming on a widescreen TV compound this 
problem. Now, Philips has found a way to combat this
problem through APAC technology. Periodically,APAC
automatically shifts your television picture in very 

small increments, but increments large enough to blur
image retention. Coupled with the Philips Auto Format 
feature, you have excellent protection from the dreaded
screen burn .Think of it as a screen saver for your TV.

Active Control™

Continuous incoming picture and signal analysis.
Controls:Automatic Digital Noise Reduction & Auto
Sharpness.Automatically offers the best menu shows
you the real-time adjustments of the parameters base
on signal analysis.

Protective Screen Filter

This filter has been specifically formulated by Philips for
HD displays to give the best possible picture and still
protect your investment.The protective screen filter
helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front
Lenticular screen.

Double Window,Two-Tuner  PIP

both in windows of equal proportion.
