Amazon Product Description
Delivering a high-performance, big-screen image from a casing with a depth of little more than 4 inches, Philips' widescreen, high-definition-ready 30PF9975/17 is stylish enough--and still small enough--to place in any room of the house. The 30-inch set offers high brightness (450 cd/m3) and high contrast (350:1), as well as an integrated TV tuner for cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs. Hook it up to an optional DTV receiver or progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed images from 1080i, 720p, and 480p sources, which render at up to 720p resolution on the set's native 1,024 x 768-pixel screen.

Philips' Dynamic Contrast technology optimizes the contrast of the picture by stretching the white, gray, and black levels.

LCD technology allows screens to be thinner and televisions to be lighter and more energy-efficient than ever before. The result is television that not only fits on a wall, but fits in places conventional televisions cannot. The 30PF9975/17's comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear III technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a comb filter, and advanced, 10-bit processing. Further, Digital Natural Motion eliminates motion judder from film-based sources such as DVDs for natural, distortion-free viewing.

All standard-definition interlaced video signals are treated to Philips' PixelPlus line doubling, which turns them into near-high-definition (HD) images. By doubling the number of lines and the number of pixels per line, PixelPlus enhances both regular TV broadcasts and DVD inputs for unparalleled sharpness and depth.

A feature called Active Control Plus continually adjusts picture settings at over 60 times per second for all inputs, correcting both sharpness and noise reduction, even adjusting for changes in ambient viewing light.

SmartSound lets you select from 3 factory-set controls (movie, music, and speech) and a personal control that you set according to your preferences. A center-channel input lets you use the TV's speakers in conjunction with your multichannel home speaker system in place of an additional center speaker, and a subwoofer output affords simple hookup with a powered sub for dynamic, full-bodied sound even without use of an audio/video receiver.

Auto Color, one of the features of Active Control, measures the color content of the incoming signal and adjusts it to predefined ideal values.

The set pumps a hefty 10 watts per channel x 2, and onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers, while the audio volume leveler keeps the TV sound at an even level for a more consistent, comfortable sound. The unit's .125-inch headphone jack features its very own volume control.

Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital DVI input, 1 component-video (switchable between HD/standard-definition), 2 S-video, and 3 composite-video connections, as well as a VGA computer input, which--apart from its native pixel resolution--offers the following multimedia modes: VGA 640 x 480 (60 Hz), VGA 1,024 x 768 (60 Hz), and SVGA 800 x 600 (56 Hz). A composite-video-based audio/video output facilitates hookup with a surround receiver or integrated amplifier.

The supplied infrared remote control works your TV and other remote-controlled devices such as VCRs, DVD players, cable converters, and satellite receivers.
