It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and superb colours. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.

Integrated Digital Tuner for DVB-T reception

The integrated DVB-T tuner lets you receive Digital Terrestrial TV to watch or record. This means you do not need an additional set top box and also the additional cables.

HD ready for the highest quality display of HDTV signals

Enjoy the exceptional picture quality of a true High Definition TV signal and be fully prepared for HD sources like HDTV broadcast, Blu-ray DVD or HD-DVD. HD ready is a protected label that offers picture quality beyond that of progressive scan. It conforms to strict standards laid out by EICTA to offer a HD screen that displays the benefits of resolution and picture quality of a High Definition TV signal. It has a universal connection for both analogue YPbPr and uncompressed Digital connection of DVI or HDMI, supporting HDCP. It can display 720p and 1080i signals at 50 and 60Hz.

Digital Crystal Clear provides vivid cinema-like images

Digital Crystal Clear is a package of picture innovations that digitally adjusts and optimises picture quality to optimal contrast, colour and sharpness levels. It's like watching vivid cinema-like images.

3D combfilter separates colours for a razor-sharp image

The 3D comb filter separates brightness and colour signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-colour, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion - all of which detract from your viewing pleasure. The 3D digital comb filter performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the colour from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl. The result is a razor sharp image.

Incredible Surroundâ„¢ for enhanced audio enjoyment

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.

Compact and slim design that fits in every room

This design style emphasizes a slim, compact look that saves space and fits in anywhere.

1000 page Hypertext for instant fast access to teletext

The teletext is a common system transmitted by most broadcasters. The 1000 page smart text feature gives you extremely fast access to information when changing pages.

2 HDMI inputs for full digital HD connection in one cable

HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analogue 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 set top box and a Blu-ray player. Your TV is fully prepared for the HD future.

Customer Reviews

Very good LCD for the bedroom
Not only does this TV have a good spec in terms of picture and features but it also has all the connections you could need, 2 HDMI, component, scart, its all there. Like others have said it tunes itself automatically and requires minimal setup. It is a very nice TV to look at with a gloss black finish and rounded edges with nicely shaded menu windows. The only issues I have with the TV are that the menu windows for changing things like colour or brightness etc are quite small and hard to read if you are sitting a fair distance from the TV. Also the green on light is a bit big and a little offputting when watching a program. I have only watched Freeview so far but judging by the picture on that I expect other digital sources such as DVD to look very good. Even though this TV isnt the full 1080P HD I expect its native 1080i to be more than adequate for its size.

Alot of people have commented on other small TVs having poor sound but this one has great sound output which almost gives the impression of surround sound. I think 23" is probably the smallest screen size you can get away with on a bedroom TV whereas 26" is a little too big, therefore this TV fits the bill nicely.

Top tv
I would recommend this tv to anyone,excellent picture/sound/features.Great value for money and the fastest teletext i have ever known!Tuned itself in including freeview channels in no time at all,so in summary a really good purchase

OK if you only move side to side
I picked up one of these a couple of days ago for the bedroom.

Installations and set up are very easy; with analogue and digital channels all atomatically tuned in without me having to grab for the manual.

Problem I've got though, is that the brightness and colour balance varies significantly depending on the angle at which you are viewing the screen. It's fine if you move side to side, but not so if you move up and down, getting lighter as you go higher and darker as you go lower.

This seems to be a charcteristic of Philips LCD TVs, as I've since been into a couple of shops and looked at other brands and they don't do the same thing (or if they do it's a lot less pronounced), but the Philips LCDs have done the same.

By setting the brightness so it's OK when I'm sat up in bed, the screen is very bright when I'm walking about.

Another odment is the digi programme guide, which doesn't show what's on by time, only by order - so you can't immediately see what programmes are on at the same time or overlap
