It conforms to strict standards laid out by EICTA to offer an HD screen that displays the benefits of resolution and picture quality of a High Definition signal. It has a universal connection for both analogue YPbPr and uncompressed digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p and 1080i signals at 50 and 60 Hz. 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 or additional cables. Incredible Surround Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to experience total surround with greater depth and width of sound, without the use of additional speakers.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Stunning picture on Digital Freeview Comment: I was astounded at the quality of the picture on Freeview digital broadcasts. Detail of scenes is fantastic, certainly the closest to HiDef I've seen from a standard source. Sound is a bit tinny on default, but is OK once you set the Bass & treble. Customer Rating: Summary: A brilliant TV Comment: This is probably the best LCD I've seen for smoothness of Freeview broadcasts, even - and this was a crucial factor for me - at a close viewing distance. I work at home and spend long hours at my computer; for me, a TV on the end of the desk is essential. I'd been wanting to replace my 14-inch CRT portable with an LCD flatscreen for a long time, but was worried that because I'd only be around 3-feet away from the screen, it would be very pixellated, as most LCDs are at close quarters. When I saw this Phillips on display at my local Costco, I knew instantly that I'd found the right LCD for my needs because the picture was so amazingly smooth. I bought it straight away, took it home, set it up on the desk and was blown away by the quality of the picture even at just 3-feet away. The default 'personal' settings, straight out of the box, were fine, but I tweaked the picture settings to suit my personal taste. There are other 'preset' settings you can choose, such as 'vivid', 'movie', etc. I can't comment on how DVDs, games, etc., would look on it (though I guess they'd be great if the Freeview picture is this good) and, as always happens with digital TV, some Freeview broadcasts are lesser-quality and will show some pixellation, but overall for the vast majority of the programming I've watched so far, this TV is brilliant and I'd definitely recommend it.
