Philips 32PF9996

Product Description
Philips' 32PF9996/37 offers a high-performance, widescreen (16:9) image from a frame less than 4 inches deep, giving you big-screen, high-definition pictures with crystal-clear quality--and without the bulk associated with rear-projection televisions. This set enhances your viewing environment, too, using Philips' revolutionary Ambilight system, which lights the wall behind the television with soft colors designed to enhance your perception of any given scene.

The 32-inch set offers high brightness (500 cd/m2) and exemplary contrast (800:1), as well as a pair of integrated NTSC TV tuners for cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs and stations. Hook it up to an optional DTV receiver or progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed images from 1080i, 720p, 576p, and 480p sources, which render at up to 720p native resolution on the set's native 1,366 x 768-pixel screen.

The Ambilight feature throws a soft glow on the wall behind the set to relax your eyes and heighten your perception of image detail, brightness, contrast, and color accuracy. The system offers full multicolor settings, dimming, 6 preset modes, 1 user preset, full operation in stand-by mode, and a low-energy lamp system with a lamp life of more than 60,000 hours.

Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate the "juddering" effects visible in moving video images. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion and corrects "juddering" in both broadcast and DVD-based movie material, smoothing and sharpening the images you see.

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. The 32PF9996/37's comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a 3D digital comb filter, color-transient improvement (CTI), and green-/blue-stretch color enhancement.

Pixel Plus 2 uses the power of the Pixel Plus processor to enhance every single pixel displayed. The result is razor-sharp pixels with incredible detail and depth. 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.

The set's full DualScreen PIP comes with 2 integrated NTSC tuners and the ability to watch 2 different channels simultaneously. PIP features include standard picture in picture (3 sizes, free positioning), 3PIP Mosaic, and 8PIP Mosaic.

A built-in audio amplifier pumps 15 watts per channel x 3 to the set's stereo speakers and an integrated subwoofer outfitted with Philips' wOOx technology. The set's left/right flat-panel speakers use NXT's Monolith speaker technology, in which the outer surface of the TV cabinet serves as the actual speaker membrane. This makes the speakers virtually invisible, coupling a stunning design with pure, direct sound radiation.

Onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers. The unit's .125-inch headphone jack affords private listening. Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital HDMI input, 1 high-definition component-video, 3 each S-video and composite-video connections, 2 RF antenna inputs, as well as a VGA computer input (RCA-type RGB+HV). A convenient side-panel input simplifies spontaneous hookups.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with the set. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
