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 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.

Pixel Plus 2 HD

Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture.

Digital noise reduction ensures that the picture is perfectly smooth yet razor sharp.

Ambilight
The full-color ambient lights offers you relaxed viewing and a unique ambiance via a soft light glow on the walls surrounding the TV.

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.
