Auto IntelliSense
®
Focus Automatically adjusts the picture convergence at the push of a key. After reviewing a special test pat-
tern, optical sensors send position information to the controller, which then corrects the picture. Auto IntelliSense
®
Focus responds to
the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions where the projection TV is located, so you always enjoy the best possible pic-
ture.
100Hz Digital Scan eliminates picture flickering and line jitter, offering a stable picture for relaxed viewing (no eye strain). The
100Hz digital scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.
Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once. This mini-
mizes the visibility of the scan lines. The progressive scan option can be selected in the onscreen menu.
High-definition Inputs allow you to connect digital equipment with 1080i and 480p signals for 60Hz and 576p signals for 50Hz. The
AV4 sockets are for YPbPr or RGB+HV sync connections, plus audio. The AV5 sockets are for RGB (or YPbPr with adaptor) DB15 con-
nections, plus audio.
Component Video Inputs support advanced video input—such as DVD video—for superb colour performance.
Active Control™continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals with automatic digital noise reduction and auto sharp-
ness to provide the best possible picture.
Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC™) functions like a screen saver for your TV. Nonmoving images
can be bad for a television screen. If a video image remains stationary, it can eventually leave a permanent after-image. Video games
and the stationary black bars around some movies are examples of sources of concern. Philips APAC technology addresses this prob-
lem. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in increments that are very small and yet large enough to blur
image retention that can lead to screen burn. Coupled with the Philips Auto Screen Format feature, APAC helps provide you protec-
tion from the dreaded screen burn.
Protective Screen Filter (if provided; availability varies) gives the best possible picture while still protecting your investment.
Specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays, this protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticu-
lar screen.
Dolby* Virtual Surround
uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system.
Digital Comb Filter makes the finest colour details purer and sharper. It eliminates disturbing cross-colour (Moiré) effects
between different colours that you normally see with striped clothing worn on camera. The digital comb filter works by electronical-
ly separating the chroma (colour) and luminance (black and white) components of the TV signal, preventing cross-colour interfer-
ence.
