Philips 42PF9996 LCD TV

This Philips LCD TV also uses the power of the Pixel Plus processor to enhance every single pixel displayed. The result is razor-sharp LCD TV images with incredible detail and depth. Philips LCD TV's unique Ambilight feature throws a soft glow on the wall behind the set to relax your eyes and heighten your perception of image detail, brightness, contrast, and colors. Philips LCD TV invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate the "juddering" effects visible in moving video images. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion and corrects jagged edges and skips in both broadcast and DVD-based movie material, smoothing and sharpening the images you see.

Philips LCD Display Technology

LCD Active Matrix TFT Panel
This new generation TFT panel technology offers superior picture quality with higher contrast levels, more brightness and color, a faster response time and a wide viewing angle. This vibrant and sharp image will offer you the utmost viewing experience.

Pixel Plus 2
Striving to push the limits of Philips Pixel Plus video processing technology, Philips developed Pixel Plus 2, which offers a unique combination of controls that provide:

• Ultimate sharpness
• True natural detail
• Incredible depth impression
• Brilliant and vivid colors
• Smooth and natural motion

Sharpness and Resolution
The most important features of Pixel Plus 2 are the advanced sharpness & resolution enhancements. These are accomplished through Philips’ unique sub-pixel based Horizontal & Vertical Luminance Transient Improvement. First the incoming signal—from any source—is scaled up to a maximum resolution of 2,560,000 pixels. Then each individual pixel is altered to better match the surrounding pixels. The end result is an enormously sharper, crisper picture with much more depth impression.

Color
Before and After - shoots for color are created via Active Control, providing rich, vivid colors. Additional color enhancements, e.g., skin tone correction and color dependent sharpness, give these colors additional realism and warmth.

Digital Natural Motion
Digital Natural Motion, the primary component of Philips' Pixel Plus 2 video processing technology, measures the speed and direction of objects in an image and corrects motion positions to ensure that the display is perfectly smooth, judder-free, and razorsharp.

Digital Noise Reduction
A motion adaptive temporal filter, which detects and reduces noise in the temporal space between successive frames, is employed to ensure noise-free and smear-free pictures.

Dynamic Contrast
Dynamic Contrast stretches dark portions of the picture towards even darker shades, without hiding any fine details, and the light parts of the picture are made whiter, resulting in a more brilliant image with up to 30% more contrast.

Active Control
Active Control connects the entire Pixel Plus 2 system and proactively derives best picture settings from any source.

Full Dual Screen with 2 Integrated Tuners
The ability to watch simultaneously two different channels, either two programs or any combination, with Teletext and/or NexTView. Includes Picture In Picture (3 sizes, free positioning), 3PIP Mosaic, 8PIP Mosaic.

Audio System Features

Virtual Dolby Surround
Dolby processing circuitry for an enhanced cinema surround sound effect without the need for rear speakers.

Invisible Flat NXT SurfaceSound speakers
The groundbreaking NXT SurfaceSound principle has been further developed into monolith speaker technology, whereby the outer surface of the TV cabinet is the actual speaker membrane.The speakers are now virtually invisible bringing a stunning design and pure an direct sound radiation.
