Amazon.com Product Description
Delivering 55 inches of big-screen excitement from a body that's less than 18 inches deep, the Philips 55PL9524 Cineos TV is a technological wonder. The Cineos screen makes use of Philips' patented, reflective Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology, which makes it lighter in weight and smaller in size than current projection lenses or standard CRT screens. The 55PL9524 offers an HD-ready, flicker-free screen with perfect convergence, no visible pixel grid, and no risk of image burn-in. The set's native 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution and multitude of analog and digital inputs accept high-resolution pictures from DTV set-top boxes, PCs, DVD players, and other devices (up to 1080i HD resolution). Digital Natural Motion renders razor-sharp moving images via processing that calculates motion trajectories of moving picture elements. ActiveControl Plus automatically analyzes the incoming signals from the Tuner, AV1, AV2, and side video inputs 50 times per second and adjusts key picture settings accordingly. In addition to measuring picture noise, this feature uses an ambient light sensor to adjust the picture settings according to viewing conditions in the room. A 3-line digital comb filter gives you improved chroma/luminance separation over standard 2-line comb filters. For viewing features, the set's double-window, dual-tuner picture-in-picture feature splits the screen into 2 independent halves, letting you do everything from watching two shows simultaneously to watching one while surfing the other, or scanning channels while keeping an eye on video input 1, 2, or 3. The TV also has single PIP (free positioning), as well as threefold and sixfold side PIPs. In addition, you get photo finish, freeze Main, and freeze PIP. Replay lets you playback the previous few seconds in a PIP screen--if you missed the action, replay it as many times as you want while your program continues in the other window. The set uses 2-way stereo speakers with a 20-watts-per-channel sound system and also features an auto volume limiter to minimize drastic level changes between, say, a TV program and its commercials. A rear-panel subwoofer output makes it easy to hook up a powered sub for deeper-than-deep bass effects or low-end musical authenticity, while a choice of Virtual Dolby Surround and Incredible Surround processing produces the sensation of surround sound without the hassle or expense of installing additional rear speakers. Other connections include 3 each composite- and S-video inputs, 3 component-video inputs (2 HD, 1 standard), a 15-pin D-Sub PC connection, and a DVI direct digital input for use with a compatible DTV set-top box or other DVI device. A set of audio/video outputs lets you integrate the set with your stereo or surround receiver, and a set of side-mounted AV inputs with a headphone output simplifies hookup of a camcorder, gaming console, or VCR. The 55PL9524's protective Saphlon screen helps prevent accidental damage while also reducing image-degrading glare and improving the picture by permitting high light output. What's in the Box TV, a universal remote control (RC4336), remote batteries, a user's manual, quick use and setup guide, and a warranty registration card.
