Description:
Balancing high style and high quality, Philips' 30-inch widescreen, high-definition-ready 30PF9946D will command center stage when needed and blend seamlessly with most decors when not in use. Its high brightness (600 cd/m2) and high contrast (600:1) ensure dynamic images from any source, while an integrated NTSC TV tuner offers cable or broadcast reception of all your favorite programs. Hook the 30PF9946D up to an optional DTV receiver or progressive-scan DVD player and you'll enjoy vivid, detailed pictures from 1080i, 720p, and 480p sources, which render at up to 720p resolution on the set's native 1,024 x 768-pixel screen. 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. And wide (170 x 170 degrees) viewing angles mean it'll look great no matter where you're sitting. LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), and long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in). They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio). The 30PF9946D's comes outfitted with Digital Crystal Clear technology, a suite of picture innovations including Dynamic Contrast, a comb filter, and advanced, 10-bit processing. 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 30PF9946D also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Audio/video inputs include a direct-digital HDMI input, a high-definition component-video input, and a VGA computer input, as well as 2 each composite- and S-video inputs. A pair of built-in speakers are drive by 15 watts per channel amplification. Onboard Dolby Virtual Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any 2 speakers, and a side-panel headphone jack affords private listening. 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). 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. What's in the Box
