Description:
This titanium-finished 50-inch analog projection television melds terrific picture quality with a sleek, upscale design. The 50P8341 uses a protective screen filter and Philips's own ImageMax technology to render sharp colors and noise-free images. ImageMax combines multiple stretch technologies, CTI, and tint correction, responding to signals by adjusting saturation and correction levels, while a technology called Multipoint Digital Convergence (MDC) automatically ensures color reproduction and crisply defined edges. The 50P8341's three-line comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt). Double-window, two-tuner PIP lets you watch two programs side-by-side, even without a VCR. Two separate tuners (each with its own RF antenna input on the set's back panel) make it possible to select two shows and display both in windows of equal proportion, or you can watch one show in one window while scanning channels in the other. A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of side AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output (including both fixed- and variable-level RCA audio outputs) lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. Twenty-watts-per-channel stereo speakers are built into the set's base, and a feature called Incredible Surround employs psychoacoustic methods to widen the perceived stereo spatial image for full-impact home entertainment--especially helpful if you're not using surround speakers. The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, auto-off, and a universal remote control.
