Full HD LCD display, with a 1920 x 1080p resolution

The Full HD screen has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest resolution of HD sources for the best possible picture quality. It is fully future-proof as it supports 1080p signals from all sources, including the most recent sources such as Blu-ray and advanced HD game consoles. The signal processing is extensively upgraded to support this much higher signal quality and resolution. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with superb brightness and colours.

100 Hz LCD, 3 ms performance for superb motion sharpness

100 Hz LCD, 3 ms performance for superb motion sharpness

100 Hz LCD creates extreme motion sharpness for clear and vibrant images even with fast on-screen motion. The Double Frame Rate Insertion works with a high 100 Hz refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of motion reproduction to more than twice that of conventional LCD, resulting in a performance with a response time of 3 milliseconds (measured in Perceived Blur-Edge-Width: BEW). This unique Philips technology takes motion sharpness of LCD displays to an unprecedented level.

HD Natural Motion for ultra-smooth motion in Full HD movies

HD Natural Motion for ultra-smooth motion in Full HD movies

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!
