Digital Crystal Clear
Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations 
that digitally adjusts and optimizes picture quality to 
optimal contrast, color and sharpness levels. It's like 
watching vivid cinema-like images.
28.9 billion colors
Vibrant and natural images from most advanced color 
processing. The 3 color channels (RGB) are optimized 
using 10 bit resolution, a total processing power of 28.9 
billion colors. It produces vibrant colors while retaining 
excellent sharpness. The advanced algorithms detect 
subtle color shades , skin tones and processes these to 
give most natural colors.
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.
2 HDMI inputs
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection 
from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion 
to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The 
non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer 
picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest 
output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input 
is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but 
includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection. 
With 2 HDMI inputs you can connect multiple HD 
sources, for instance an HD settop box, and a Blu-ray 
player. Your TV is fully prepared for the HD future.
EasyLink
EasyLink uses the HDMI CEC industry standard protocol 
to share functionality between connected devices and the 
TV. With EasyLink only one remote control is needed to 
operate main functionalities on your TV and connected 
devices. EasyLink uses the standard HDMI cable to 
transfer system commands. It works between all 
electronic devices equipped with HDMI CEC.
PC input (HDMI+VGA)
With PC input you can use your TV as a PC monitor either 
using a HDMI-DVI cable/converter (for digital signals) or 
VGA cable (for analog signals).
Smart mode
The optimum picture and sound depends on various 
aspects like the video source, content type, surroundings 
of the room, type of display device etc. Smart Mode has 
predefined picture and sound settings conveniently preset 
by the way you use your TV. The ‘Personal’ setting, allows 
you to define the picture settings according to your 
preference, store it and gain easy access for future 
selection. All these conveniently built into your TV for 
optimal settings.
