Ambilight
The full colour Ambilight offers you relaxed viewing and
a unique ambiance via a soft glow of light on the wall
surrounding theTV. Research has proven that watching
television with adapted ambient lighting will improve
and relax TV viewing.The automatic adaptation of the
Ambilight colours with the images on the screen will
maximise the viewing experience.The light can also be
switched to fixed colours and different shades of white.
In standby mode the lights can be operated to any
colour and create a unique ambiance in the room.
Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate
juddering effects that are visible with moving picture
content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and movie material (DVD). Smooth motion
reproduction and excellent sharpness are the result.
Full ActiveControl
Active Control automatically analyses, 50 times per sec-
ond, the incoming signal and adjusts the key picture
settings on Sharpness, Digital Noise Reduction, Color
and Contrast.The ambient light sensor adjusts the set-
tings according to the viewing conditions in the room.
Active Control thus offers the best possible picture set-
tings any time, any source.

round sound effect without the need for rear speakers.
