Pixel Plus 3 HD for most sharp and clear pictures

Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid colors and smooth natural motion on all qualities of HD, standard TV signals and multimedia content, for high definition displays. Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture. Artifacts and noise in all sources from multimedia to standard TV and also in highly compressed HD are detected and reduced ensuring that the picture is clean and razor sharp.

Ambilight Surround for an immersive viewing experience

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 colors and light intensity of the image on screen. It creates ambiance, stimulates more relaxed viewing, and improves perceived picture detail, contrast and color. Ambilight 3 automatically and independently adapts the colors of each screenside according to the changing content on the screen. With the 3rd Ambilight the top of the picture is now fully surrounded, completely immersing you into the content.

HDMI input for full digital HD connection in one cable

HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog 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 backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colors. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.

Integrated HDTV and CableCARD for unrivalled picture quality

Integrated HDTV and CableCARD for unrivalled picture quality

The CableCARD is a removable card distributed by the cable providers that is inserted in the TV. This enables the “Plug-and-Play DTV” functionality as agreed between cable operators and consumer electronics manufacturers. It allows the decoding of encrypted or scrambled content delivered from the cable system. CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled television without a CableCARD inserted receives high-definition standard TV broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted, the television receives high-value high-definition, cable programming.

Clear LCD for extreme motion sharpness

Clear LCD for extreme motion sharpness

Clear LCD creates extreme motion sharpness for clear and vibrant images even with fast on-screen motion. The high refresh rates of the scanning backlight technology increases the sharpness of motion reproduction to more than twice that of normal LCD (measured in Perceived Blurr-Edge-Width; BEW). On top it creates a higher dynamic contrast and an increased viewing angle. The unique Philips technology brings motion sharpness of LCD displays to an unprecedented level, better than any other Flat display technology.
