Full-color ambient lighting enhances the viewing experience

The full-color ambient lights offers you relaxed viewing and a unique ambiance via a soft light glow on the walls surrounding the TV. Research has shown that watching television with adapted ambient lighting promotes more relaxed TV viewing. the Ambilight colors automatically adapt to the images on the screen to add a new sensation to the viewing experience. The light can also be switched to fixed colors or various shades of white. In standby mode, the lights can be operated to any color and create a unique ambiance in the room.

Pixel Plus 2 for better details, depth and clarity

Pixel Plus 2 is a digital picture processing technology that improves the resolution of still and moving pictures. It does more than adding pixels, it also makes the pixels better, resulting incredible sharpness and picture depth every time and from any source. And it does not just improve the resolution either, because you also benefit from improved color reproduction, resulting in the finest color details and superior brilliance.

3D combfilter separates colors for a razor-sharp image

The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion - all of which detract from your viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is a razor sharp image.

Active Control with Light Sensor optimizes picture quality

Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of optimizing picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions.

2 integrated NXT Monolith speakers with amazing performance

The ground-breaking NXT surface sound principle has been further developed into the monolith speaker technology It actually uses the outer surface of the TV cabinet as the speaker membrane. The speakers are now virtually invisible, bringing a stunning design, and a pure and direct sound radiation.

Virtual Dolby Surround for a cinema-like audio experience

Virtual Dolby Surround is a processing technology for enhancing surround sound effects. It will create the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the necessity of additional rear speakers. You become totally immersed in your television experience.

Digital Natural Motion for smooth moving images

Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with moving picture content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.

DVI-I provides the best picture and flexible connectivity

A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed high-bandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analog, it delivers an unblemished and noisefree image, that is clear and flickerfree. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programs from Digital Settop boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analog PC-VGA signals.
