Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This 50-inch, high-definition display is capable of producing massive, detailed HDTV signal in all its glory--that's full 1080i resolution via a digital set-top box (which is not included). Progressive-scan DVD players are also prime source components for the set, which also offers display format conversion to ensure that you're seeing the image the way you want to, regardless of the source. Designed to meet the demands of curved CRT faceplates, Philips' 35-point convergence brings with it the accuracy of digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue electron guns and a superb picture with no colored halos.

If a video image remains stationary, it can eventually burn a permanent after-image into the screen. Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) periodically shifts the television picture in tiny increments that are large enough to blur image retention. Active Control performs continuous picture analysis and maintains control of Automatic Digital Noise Reduction and auto sharpness. A three-line digital comb filter provides improved chroma/luminance separation over standard two-line glass comb filters for a difference you can see.

Used in conjunction with a second video source, such as a DVD player, VCR, or cable tuner, picture-in-picture lets you monitor one TV channel while you're watching another. Virtual Dolby Surround processing circuitry gives you the sensation of four-channel Dolby Pro Logic without the hassle of installing additional rear speakers. Eye Fidelity provides a choice between two scanning techniques: progressive and interlaced. Progressive scanning doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. Interlaced mode reduces annoying motion artifacts and helps smooth jagged lines sometimes seen on images of curved and angled surfaces. Also, the set's protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front Lenticular screen.

The 50PP9202 utilizes a comb filter that is one of the most sophisticated types of comb filters. It improves the quality of incoming video signals to the set by better separating the signal into its basic qualities, chrominance and luminance. A comb filter works on signals that are transmitted via composite video or RF connections.
