	Philips Ambilight Range Unique to Philips, Ambilight projects a soft light glow onto the walls around your TV set which automatically changes to match the colours and brightness of the picture. Ambilight improves perceived contrast, colour and detail, giving you the sensation that you are looking at a wider picture. It has also been proven to reduce eye-strain, by providing a more relaxing viewing experience.
	Ambilight makes an impressive contribution to the overall viewing experience by producing ambient light to complement the colours and light intensity of the on-screen image. It adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, completely immersing you into the content you are watching. It creates ambiance, stimulates more relaxed viewing, and improves perceived picture detail, contrast and colour. Ambilight automatically and independently adapts its colours according to the changing content on the screen.
	HD Ready Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of a true High Definition TV signal and be fully prepared for HD sources like HDTV broadcast, Blu-ray Dsic or HD DVD. HD ready is a protected label that offers picture quality beyond that of progressive scan.

It has a universal connection for both analog YPbPr and uncompressed digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p, and 1080i signals at 50 and 60Hz.
	HD Natural Motion Philips invented HD Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with movie based picture content. HD Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level. HD Natural Motion removes judder from SD and HD pictures, including 1080p, for a motion performance that surpasses the cinema!

Pixel Plus 3 HD Pixel Plus 3 HD offers the unique combination of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours and smooth natural motion on all qualities of HD, standard TV signals and multimedia content, for high definition displays. Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture. Artefacts and noise in all sources from multimedia to standard TV and also in highly compressed HD are detected and reduced ensuring that the picture is clean and razor sharp.

4 Trillion Colours Vibrant and natural images from most advanced colour processing. The 3 colour channels (RGB) are optimized using 14 bit resolution, a total processing power of 4 trillion colours. It produces vibrant colours while retaining excellent sharpness. The advanced algorithms detect subtle colour shades and skin tones, and processes these to give most natural colours.

HDMI or DVI HDMI is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

A real pain
I have had this set for 4 months and it regularly locks up once a month whereas you have to switch the set off for about a minute or so and then switch it on again before it works properly. I also have added other devices, recorders and players etc and find that working these devices you cannot alter the volume with the handset provided. With these devices i.e. DVD player etc. one has to use the TV control only which I find to be a real pain using two hand controls when I can usually use the one.
The programming feature is also a pain to use. It is so antiquated and difficult to use when compared to other Japanese sets I have had.
The spacial sound is no different to mono sound and as for the ambilight feature you either like it or hate it. Just a gimick in my opinion.
My advice ----- buy a good japanese set.
I used to work for a Philips subsiduary and never did get on with Philips TV or Hi Fi and why I bought it I shall never know Maybe because I got mine cheap and now I can see why.
After 6 months of use the set takes longer and longer to get to its original coulour and brightness now a bout half an hour.
Now 12 months after purchase this set was left off for four days while I was away for Christmas, when I returned home this set now takes over an hour to reach anywhere near what was its original colour with all the presets set to maximum.
In the new year I am going out to see if I can buy another model and this time it WILL NOT be PHILIPS and it won't come from Curry's

Fantastic TV
Philips seems very underrated in the UK for no particular reason. This TV has fantastic sound, the picture quality is great and ambi-light is the best invention of the last few years. The design of the TV is beautiful and I am very pleased I chose this TV over the Sony V4000 which is out of stock most of the time anyway.
