Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Delivering high performance with a depth of less than 3 inches, Philips' widescreen, HD-ready 17PF9936 is stylish enough and small enough to be used in any room of the house. The 17-inch TV offers high brightness (450 cd/m2) 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 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.

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

The 17PF9936 comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear III technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast and advanced, 10-bit processing. Further, the DCDi chip by Faroudja enhances resolution by eliminating the stair-step jagged edges often seen on progressive-scan displays.

The 17PF9936's three-line digital comb filter further enhances resolution 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).

A feature called Active Control continually adjusts picture settings at over 60 times per second for all inputs, correcting both sharpness and noise reduction. AutoChron automatically sets the right time of day and maintains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments. AutoPicture lets you change -- at the touch of a button -- the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, including sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals. AutoSound allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your preferences.

The three factory-set controls (Voice, Music, and Theatre) let you enhance the particular program you are watching. Incredible Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any two speakers, while the audio volume leveler (AVL) keeps the TV sound at an even level for a more consistent, comfortable sound.

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

Inputs include two component-video (one HD and one standard-definition), two S-video, and two composite-video connections, as well as a VGA computer input, which accepts signals up to XGA (1,280 x 768, from 60 to 75 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.
