Product Description

Amazon Product Description

Make your living room or office the center of your universe with Philips' 42-inch, perfectly flat 42PF9936 plasma television. The set's widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) dimension closely matches those of your favorite movies. Hook the 42PF9936 up to a progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed images on the set's native 852 x 480-pixel screen. You can connect it with your PC, too, using the set's RGB input and supplied connection cable. An integrated TV tuner offers cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs.

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

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile, which also makes it perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The 42PF9936 includes Digital Crystal Clear technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a comb filter, and advanced, 10-bit processing. 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. Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital DVI input and a VGA computer input. Onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers. What's in the Box TV, stand, wall mount, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

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