Let the beauty of light transform your viewing experience with the Aurea Flat TV. The Ambilight Spectra with active frame is blended in a stunning design. With Perfect Pixel HD Engine and Full HD 1080p LCD display seeing is believing. How does it work ? The ultimate in Ambilight viewing pleasure, Aurea emits an aura of light from the front of the TV as well as on all four sides. A further refinement is that it reflects a whole range of colours from each side of the screen - a quite breathtaking effect. It's the 4th generation of Philips Abilight Spectra technology, patented and unique to Philips flat-screen displays. It consists of 126 LED's built around the bevel and on the back of the device. The "Active-Frame" changes colour according to the media contents, lighting up the whole room with colors directly from the movie. The aura effect visually expands and enhances the viewing perspective, making the experience more vivid and striking. It's unbelievably intense and makes watching movies more exciting than ever! Relax and enjoy yourself As well as reflecting the colours on your screen, the Ambilight effect helps to soothe and relax your eyes. In research, it has been proven to reduce eye strain by gently adapting to lighting and scene changes, enabling your eyes to adjust more easily. At any time you can use the "Aurea Navigator" remote to adjust the strength and responsivness of the aura effect. It can be modified from subtle and smooth up to bright and flashy, depending on your mood and type of movie you'd like to watch. If for any reason you wanted to disable the aura effect, you can do it with a push of a button. Gaming like never before! From gloomy, underground caverns up to exploding stars, from magical underwater kingdoms to nuclear war mayhem - your gaming will never be the same. The Aurea lighting will dominate your experience, pulling you deeper inside virtual worlds of your favorite titles. Aurea's surround sound system consists of 24 invisible microdriver speakers, embedded in the frame. A separate pair of subwoofers, integrated in the back of the screen, produce a pounding, deep bass. Virtual Dolby Digital sound processor is responsible for creating a realistic 3D sound experience Features Full HD LCD display, with a 1920x1080p resolution The Full HD screen has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest resolution of HD sources for the best possible picture quality. It is fully future proof as it supports 1080p signals from all sources, including the most recent like Blu-ray and advanced HD game consoles. The signal processing is extensively upgraded to support this much higher signal quality and resolution. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with superb brightness and colors. Perfect Pixel HD Engine for unrivalled sharpness and clarity Perfect Pixel HD Engine offers the unique combination of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, vivid colors and smooth natural motion on all qualities of HD, standard TV signals and multimedia content, for high definition displays. Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture. Artifacts and noise in all sources from multimedia to standard TV and also in highly compressed HD content are detected and reduced ensuring that the picture is clean and razor sharp. 100Hz Clear LCD for superb motion sharpness (3ms) 100Hz Clear LCD creates extreme motion sharpness for clear and vibrant images even with fast on-screen motion. The Double Frame Rate Insertion works with a high 100Hz refresh rate. It increases the sharpness of motion reproduction to more than twice that of conventional LCD, resulting in a response time of 3 milliseconds (measured in Perceived Blur-Edge-Width; BEW). This unique Philips technology brings motion sharpness of LCD displays to an unprecedented level. Ambilight Spectra with Active Frame and sensorial halo The sensorial halo of Ambilight Spectra adds a magical dimension to the viewing experience. The Active Frame extends the light and atmosphere of the image far outside the screen in a soft kaleidoscope of colors. You feel fully immersed in the images, viewing becomes a more intensive experience than you could ever imagine. The compact LED technology enables a total of 126 power LEDs to be placed around the screen. This creates a multitude of segments that fuse into one soft surround of light in the Active Frame, directly enveloping the screen and flowing seamlessly into a soft halo on the wall. 4 trillion colors processing for vivid and brilliant images Vibrant and natural images from most advanced color processing. The 3 color channels (RGB) are optimized using 14 bit resolution, a total processing power of 4 trillion colors. It produces vibrant colors while retaining excellent sharpness. The advanced algorithms detect subtle color shades and skin tones, and processes these to give most natural colors. HD Natural Motion for ultra smooth motion in Full HD movies Philips invented HD Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with movie based picture content. HD Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD and Blu-ray Disc). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level. HD Natural Motion removes judder from SD and HD pictures, including 1080p, for a motion performance that surpasses the cinema! Powerful sound from unique invisible speakers An invisible sound system that blends perfectly with the design of the Aurea. Although invisible from the outside and extremely compact inside, there are no compromises to the performance of the sound. The new revolutionary micro speaker array uses 12 speakers per side to radiate the sound through an invisible thin slot at the front of the TV. They give a clear and spacious sound stage complementary to the rich viewing experience. The bass frequencies are generated by 2 powerful subwoofers integrated in the back of the TV. Drive your experience with Aurea Navigator remote control The sleek and luxurious remote control offers 3 dedicated ambilight keys for effortless control to personalise your settings. The centrepiece is an element highlighted by spohisticated material and design, and a touch operated backlight. This Aurea key controls the amount of Aurea immersion. The ‘MODE’ button switches the dynamics in 3 levels from relaxed to dynamic. The ‘Ambilight’ button is there to switch the Ambilight ‘on’ or ‘off’, as simple as a lightswitch on the wall. The TV Menu offers access to addtional settings Settings assistant for effortless personalized TV settings Settings assistant for effortless personalized TV settings.
