Refurbished to near-new condition, the Philips 30PW850H offers a 30-inch Real Flat, high-definition widescreen picture tube, which delivers exciting home-cinema viewing when used with a progressive-scan DVD player or an outboard digital set-top box for DTV reception. 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..

Velocity-scan 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.

A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture. 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 Incredible 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 side and rear composite- and S-video inputs accommodate other hardware. Rear-panel audio/video outputs make it a cinch to hook the set up with your home theater surround receiver for a truly enveloping AV experience. A 0.125-inch headphone jack lets you listen in private. The set includes an NTSC tuner for standard TV reception and comes with a universal remote control.

From the Manufacturer

The director had a vision, and this Philips 30-inch widescreen HD-ready TV lets you share it. The TV's Real Flat picture tube delivers today's best home cinema viewing experience while being prepared for tomorrow's TV developments. The HDTV option delivers exceptional picture quality and a real movie-viewing experience that makes television more dynamic than anything you've seen before. And the TV's Eye Fidelity feature allows users the choice of progressive or interlaced line doubling options. Both techniques are designed to enhance the quality of the picture by doubling the number of lines: interlaced for fast-moving images and progressive for slower-moving images.

The TV's 3D digital comb filter is considered the best type of comb filter available, as it separates colors and eliminates distortion to give you a razor sharp picture with breathtaking clarity. And whether you're watching a DVD or cable, the TV's Active Control feature will work to maintain the specifications that you have set, optimizing your television viewing experience. The TV's video is complemented by its Incredible Surround audio, which dramatically expands the sound field to create greater depth and provide the listener with an invigorating musical experience. The TV also includes Auto Picture, a convenient way to access the preset picture settings--multimedia, rich, natural, soft, and personal--to enhance the picture elements of different sources.
