Manufacturer's Description
Philips Philips

Ambilight Philips Ambilight Range
Unique to Philips, Ambilight projects a soft light glow onto the walls around your TV set which automatically changes to match the colours and brightness of the picture. Ambilight improves perceived contrast, colour and detail, giving you the sensation that you are looking at a wider picture. It has also been proven to reduce eye-strain, by providing a more relaxing viewing experience.

Philips


Ambilight makes an impressive contribution to the overall viewing experience by producing ambient light to complement the colours and light intensity of the on-screen image. It adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, completely immersing you into the content you are watching. It creates ambiance, stimulates more relaxed viewing, and improves perceived picture detail, contrast and colour. Ambilight automatically and independently adapts its colours according to the changing content on the screen. Philips
HD Ready HD Ready
Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of a true High Definition TV signal and be fully prepared for HD sources like HDTV broadcast, Blu-ray Dsic or HD DVD. HD ready is a protected label that offers picture quality beyond that of progressive scan. It conforms to strict standards laid out by EICTA to offer a HD screen that displays the benefits of resolution and picture quality of a High Definition TV signal. It has a universal connection for both analog YPbPr and uncompressed digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p, and 1080i signals at 50 and 60Hz.
Philips HD Ready
Full HD Full HD 1080p
This display has a resolution that is referred to as Full HD. With state-of-the-art LCD screen technology it has the full High Definition widescreenresolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest resolution that HD broadcast can transmit. It allows the best possible picture quality from any format of HD input signal. It produces brilliant flickerfree progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colours. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.
Philips
HD Natural Motion HD Natural Motion
Philips invented HD Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with movie based picture content. HD Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level. HD Natural Motion removes judder from SD and HD pictures, including 1080p, for a motion performance that surpasses the cinema!
Philips
Pixel Plus 3 HD Pixel Plus 3 HD
Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours 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. Artefacts 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.
wOOx technology
Invisibly mounted within the Flare design, tweeters within the TV frame deliver a very clear and smooth high frequency performance using the elegant frame as a sound reflector. On the rear of the set, wOOx bass technology uses a double suspension, double surround passive cone and a very high passive cone excursion meaning a very high passive cone stability can be achieved. This ensures a deep and stable bass reproduction can be achieved at relatively low volume.

HDMI or DVI
HDMI is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.
Philips

The complete range of Ambilight flat TVs comes with multiple HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) sockets. Use a HDMI connection to get the very best picture and sound quality.

Philips

Freeview
Integrated Digital DVB-T tuner
The integrated DVB-T tuner lets you receive Digital Terrestrial TV to watch or record. This means you do not need an additional set top box and also the additional cables.
4 HDMI 4 HDMI inputs
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen for the ultimate picture quality. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources and includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection. With 3 HDMI inputs on the back and 1 HDMI on the side of the TV you can connect multiple HD sources, for instance an HD set top box, a Blu-ray player, and game console or digital Camcorder. Your TV is fully prepared for the HD future.
Easy Link EasyLink
EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol to share functionality between connected devices and the TV. With Easylink only one remote control is needed to operate main functionalities on your TV and connected devices. EasyLink uses the standard HDMI cable to transfer system commands. It works between all electronic devices equipped with HDMI CEC.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great value with superb looks and pictrue, 6 Oct 2008
    By R. Dawson "bluemanc" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Bought this TV and have been using it over a month now. Firstly it looks great in the living room which is an underestimated aspect of picking a TV these days!
    Secondly the picture is excellent once setup correctly (see online help threads for setup guides) and in particular SKY HD and PS3 are amazing. The sound is also surprisingly good for a TV and the ambilight is an added bonus which you soon can't do without.
    Downsides are too many picture setup options mean findging the right one for you can be a pain. Secondly when using SKY HD and changing channels the TV seems to struggle sometimes- it detects a change in signal and pauses- saying 'video format not supported' before adjusting and finally displaying the channel after say 2-3 seconds.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 22 Feb 2009
    By D. Squires (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    After an extensive search and a lot of research I purchased this TV and it is truely stunning.

    My 50" 720p DLP tv, was on its way out so needed to be replaced. This had been an awesome peice of kit especially since HD input (PS3) became avaiable. I do take my AV needs very seriously.

    If i was to stay at 50" there are only 2 choices - Panasonic or Pioneer and quite frankly i don't have the spare cash to get the model i would want - besides, my wife wanted a smaller set as my current tv dominated the room.

    So once decided on 42" a great deal of reading began and the choices were in essence Sony, panasonic or Samsung......OR Philips?? This one came out of left field and was a big suprise.

    Sonys aren't big enough for my liking and the Pannys that look amazing cost too much and are a bit ugly. It became apparent that the picture quality of the big few are very similar and especially after tweaking to your liking. So there needed to be something to grab me. Enter 'Ambilight'. What used to be seen (by me) as a gimmick, is actually brilliant. It really does help immerse you in what ever you watch and having a 'backlight' seems to increase the already impressive contrast ratio.

    So in short it has an amazing picture which does make you say wow! (but no better than a sony or panny) but the 'ambilight' adds so much to your viewing experience that it raises this above all of its rivals. Oh it is also worth mentioning that the sound quality is best i've heard on any new TV and is possibly the best looking out there. I can't recommend this more highly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Telemagic, 29 Jan 2009
    By Martin Richmond (East Kilbride, Scotland) - See all my reviews
    Wow, this looks great even when its off, had it several months and really can't recommend it highly enough. Ambilight looks like a gimmik till you get it in your living room, then you wonder why all televisions don't have it. Have Sky HD, PS3, Wii, DVD and still HDMI connection to spare. Picture is stunning in all formats but stick a blu ray on it and prepare to be blown away. Sounds is really good considering there are no visible speakers, I have small kids so satellite speaker surround sound is not really an option, but I'm more than happy with the sound quality from the telly itself anyway. Go buy one!
