The Design Collection 7000 series uses an invisible speaker system which is fully integrated into the frame of the Flat TVs, is powered by Philips Pixel Plus 3HD Engine which offers sharpness, detail, vivid colours, and smooth natural motion on all qualities of HD, standard TV signals and multimedia content. The screen also detects artefacts and noise in all sources and reduces it for a cleaner and sharper image.
Philips HD Digital Natural Motion technology (HD DNM) eliminates the persistent juddering effects that appear with recorded movie content, while Motion Estimation Motion Compensation (MEMC) technology estimates motion in the picture and inserts compensated frames, resulting in a smoother, more natural picture and razor sharp focus.
The Philips 100Hz ClearLCD technology provides razor-sharp moving images with its amazing 3 milliseconds (3 ms) screen refresh rate. The addition of this 100Hz ClearLCD technology improves the shadow detail and black levels in dark scenes while greatly diminishing motion artefacts.
Philips intuitive settings assistant feature makes selecting on-screen preferences simple. By using a program similar to an eye test, viewers can select exactly what they perceive as the best picture and sound. Viewers choose initial preferences from the five split-screen samples and the television will make the changes and store them for future use.
The 7000 series offers four HDMI 1.3a inputs with built-in consumer electronics control (CEC) for the clean, clear digital signal. Now users can connect as many as four HDMI devices while assured their sets are future-proof for further connectivity.
