Philips Plasma Technology

Plasma WXGA panel, 1024 x 768p
This state-of-the-art plasma screen technology gives you widescreen HD resolution of up to 1024 x 768p pixels. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures in with optimum brightness and superb colors. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.

Digital Cable Ready
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.

HDTV
HDTV delivers exceptional picture quality and real movieviewing experience that makes television more dynamic, truer than anything you've seen before. It is the latest and best television signal available. It features picture quality more than twice that of traditional analog broadcasts. In order to effectively maximize the HDTV signal, a television must incorporate advanced signal input connectivity and circuitry design. To use HDTV the TV must be connected via its Component Video, DVI or HDMI inputs to a DTV set-top box and set to operate in the DTV mode.

Philips Pixel Plus Processing
This set uses the power of the Pixel Plus processor to increase the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and dept, every time from any source.

Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

Plug & Play
Plug & Play gives you the ability to install or add a new component and have it work without having to perform any complex installation procedure or technical analysis.

Terminals and Connections

USB Multimedia Connector
The USB connector allows access to multimedia jpg, mp3, mp3-pro and alb files of most USB-sticks and most digital cameras (USB 1.1 memory-class device). Plug the USB into the slot at the side of the TV and access your photos or music files. This makes you easily viewing and sharing your photos and music.

HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface
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.
