Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Compact and imminently stylish, the Philips 23PF9966 doubles as both a computer monitor and a high-definition home-theater component. The thin-profile set gives you a widescreen (16:9) image from a casing with a depth of little more than 3 inches. The flat screen offers high brightness (450 cd/m3) and high contrast (400:1), as well as integrated TV and FM radio tuners for cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs and stations. 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.

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 23PF9966's comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a 3D digital comb filter, color-transient improvement (CTI), and green-/blue-stretch color enhancement.

Pixel Plus uses the power of the Pixel Plus processor to enhance every single pixel displayed. The result is razor-sharp pixels with incredible detail 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.

PIP features include standard picture-in-picture (a second source image inset within the main image), picture-by-picture (split-screen viewing), and picture-in-graphics (video source over PC image).

The set pumps 5 watts per channel x 2 RMS (10 watts x 2 peak power), and onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers. FM tuning options include 40 convenient presets, RDS (Radio Data Service) for visual station and song identification, and auto/manual station setting. The unit's .125-inch headphone jack affords private listening.

Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital HDMI input, 1 component-video, 2 S-video, and 2 composite-video connections, as well as a VGA computer input. A convenient side-panel input simplifies spontaneous hookups.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

What's in the Box
TV, swivel/tilt stand, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

3.0 out of 5 stars good picture quality, bad sound, March 24, 2005

This review is from: Philips 23PF9966 23-Inch Widescreen HDTV-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

This was our first LCD TV purchase and we were impressed with the picture quality of this unit. It was very bright and clear picture especially with the pixel-plus features. But the sound quality coming out of the built-in speakers is horrible. I thought the unit was defective when I heard some high pitched nose. If you are looking for good quality pictures and don't care too much about the built-in speakers, then this might be the TV for you.
