Ambilight Surround
With lights surrounding the picture, Ambilight
3 makes 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.

2 HDMI inputs
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB
connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analogue signal, it
delivers an unblemished image. The non-
degraded 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.
