Philips' 55-inch 55PP9352 is tailor-made for producing progressive-scan DVD playback and high-definition broadcast programming with clarity and vivid color. The widescreen aspect-ratio (16:9) set delivers 1080i high-definition signals at full resolution when connected to an optional digital set-top box. Now you'll be able to revel in every drop of water, each soaring aerial shot in your favorite programming, whether off-air HDTV broadcasts or DVDs played through top-of-the-line progressive-scan DVD players. Technologies like 35-point digital convergence, Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC, which automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments to defray image burn-in), and Active Control (which continuously analyzes the picture to control digital noise reduction and sharpness) enhance the picture in subtle but meaningful ways.
Other features include:
Multipoint digital convergence: Designed to meet the demands of curved CRT faceplates and short focal length lenses, Philips' expansive 35-point convergence brings with it the accuracy of digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue guns and a superb picture with no colored haloes.
Eye Fidelity: Progressive Scan/Interlaced: Eye Fidelity gives the consumer a choice between 2 different scanning techniques--Progressive Scan and Interlaced. Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once--also eliminating line flicker. The Interlaced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces.
Protective screen filter: This filter has been specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays to give the best possible picture and still protect your investment. The protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front Lenticular screen.
High-definition component-video and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) inputs: Supports HD video input for superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise; includes separate inputs for Y, Pb, Pr, horizontal sync and vertical sync plus a DVI direct-digital input.
3D Y/C comb filter: Activated when using the tuner and composite-video inputs, the 3D Y/C Comb Filter processes the video with spatial and temporal filtering--virtually eliminating cross-color and cross-luminance interference improving video resolution.
Dual-Tuner Picture-In-Picture: Enjoy all the benefits of PIP without a VCR. You can tune to your favorite show with tuner 1, for example, while scanning other channels with tuner 2 in the PIP window. The A/V inputs are also available as PIP sources so all functions of standard PIP are still accessible.
Virtual Dolby Surround (20 Watts RMS): Dolby processing circuitry for enhanced surround sound effect creates the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the hassle of additional rear speakers.
