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.

Flat TV - LCD
Two sheets of polarised transparent material, one with a special polymer coating that holds liquid crystals, are adhered together. Electric current is passed through individual crystals, which interpret the information from the broadcast signal to allow or disallow light through them to create an image.
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.

Customer Reviews
It's huge!!!!
Having lived with this TV for a couple of weeks now, I have to say I feel it is of excellent quality with a truly amazing picture through HD sources.
I am no TV expert, but compared far and wide before purchasing, and have not regretted my choice for a moment. The ambilight certainly adds a good deal of depth to the picture, and prolonged viewing spells do not fatigue the eye, as seems the case with other sets. Edges are crisp and sharp, with coherent and realistic colour reproductions. The onboard freeview tuner provides pleasing images, particularly when you consider the level of upscaling required.
The only slight reservation I could offer is that black colours occasionally look grey, and darker scenes can suffer from a lack of detail at times. However these problems seem generic to LCD technology, rather than a particular trait of this set. You may also wish to note that no VGA/DVI input for computer input is provided and you will therefore require further adaptors!
Waste of Money!!!!! ZERO STARS
Avoid!!! 2nd of these TV's has just packed in 2 months out of warrenty. Same fault no picture, sound and ambilight still working. Philips not interested even though they know it is a fault with a power relay chip across a number of models. DO NOT BUY A PHILIPS TV!!!
superb
bought this tv just before xmas 2007.fitted it onto the wall,wires hidden in the plaster.hooked up to sky hd and ps3,picture on hd is awesome,it really is.some of the regular channels can look fuzzy if your room is small and you are too close to the screen though,about 2.5 to 3m and you will be fine.speakers also good though mine is running through 5 .1 surround system.no need to go to the movies any more.side socket for memory card so you can show your digital phots on it ,and download the latest software from the phillips site too.i paid £1300 on line so now its a bargain.dont think you will be disappointed.
