Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get the most from the digital age with Philips' 30-inch 30PW862H Real Flat, high-definition widescreen TV. The set's picture tube affords the best home cinema viewing when used with a progressive-scan DVD player or an outboard digital set-top box for DTV reception. Onboard two-tuner, double-window PIP gives you complete flexibility when keeping tabs on two programs simultaneously, right down to the handy freeze feature, which holds an image in the PIP frame and lets you keep watching your program in the main window.

Picture enhancements include a sophisticated 3D Y/C digital comb filter, which improves quality of incoming interlaced video signals by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

Eye Fidelity gives you the choice between different line doubling and scanning techniques--progressive or interlaced--so you can reduce motion artifacts like jagged edges and stair stepping, viewing material in progressive scan (480p) or a line-doubled (1050i) picture.

Scan-velocity modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. Further, a feature called Active Control continuously analyzes incoming signals and optimizes picture color, sharpness, contrast, and digital noise reduction 60 times per second.

The set offers stereo reception with 10 watts power per stereo speaker, and onboard Virtual Dolby Surround processing simulates surround sound from any two speakers.

Two sets of high-definition component-video inputs (1080i/480p) accommodate a set-top box/HD satellite receiver and a progressive-scan DVD player, while a direct-digital DVI input obviates unnecessary image conversions between digital and analog on the way from your set-top box to your TV.

Side and rear composite- and S-video inputs accommodate other hardware such as a camcorder or gaming device. Rear-panel audio/video outputs make it a cinch to hook the set up with your home theater surround receiver for a truly enveloping A/V experience. A .125-inch headphone jack lets you listen in private, and the set also includes a universal remote control.
