Royal Philips, one of the cosmopolitan leader in the consumer electronics and crème de la crème in Europe’s electronics market, has released the latest 32″ widescreen LCD TV laden with groundbreaking technology enhancement features for impressing picture clarity. The suave design has a sleek frame that hides a couple of chic design tricks that boosts the performance. Premium features like high definition LCD WXGA display, DVI-I input, active control with light sensor, designer swivel stand, ambilight2, Pixel Plus II HD image processing technology and NXT flat panel speaker technology are incorporated skillfully in Philips 32PF9830 32″ LCD TV. Though this is one of the most expensive TV’s of its screen size, the astute enhancement features justify the heavy tag. Ambilight2 is an image enhancement feature engineered by Royal Philips, that has two different lights on either side to shine two colours at the same time to match the overall tone of image on screen. This technique tricks you into perceiving superior image. Apart from the image enhancement, this feature helps to reduce optical fatigue.
Another astounding feature is Pixel Plus II image processing technology. It is a picture processing technology, designed exclusively by Philips, optimised for high definition frames for better colour toning, sharpness, augmented fine detailing, increased depth and vibrancy, superior edging and reduced noise and judders. You can experience the ultimate visual treat once you hook up the DVD player through SCART connectors. The crispness and sharpness are incredible with almost no visible noise and artefacts, which make the images look quite natural and stunning. The NXT Flat Panel Speaker Technology is used in Philips 32PF9830 32″ LCD TV for excellent audio rendition. The high contrast ratio of 6000:1 and brightness of 550Cd/m2 compliments the high resolution well to give better images.
The wide viewing angle of 176degrees ascertains comfortable viewing from almost all places in the living room. Since the resolution is only 1366 x 768 pixels, the pure HD signals need to be scaled down to 768 lines. Hence you need a separate receiver to view HDTV signals. The adjustable colour temperature adds to the viewing comfort. The connectivity is superior with three HDMI inputs, out of which two are HDCP compatible, 3 SCARTS out of which two are RGB-compatible, 2 USB ports, multi-format memory card slot, DVI input, component video input, coaxial audio inputs, etc are also present. Both HDMI and DVI digital inputs are capable of taking either HD video or PC feeds. The multimedia functionality of Philips 32PF9830 Widescreen LCD TV is amazing with multi-format memory card slot. This advanced Philips LCD TV supports variety of formats like CompactFlash, Smart Media, Memory stick, MMC and Secure digital. This screen is intelligent enough to read data directly from USB flash drives.
The audio setup is astonishing with the skillfully hidden speakers which delivers an output of 15W each. Apart from the 5 speakers, a sub-woofer is also included to make sure that you are not missing even a single thing, be it a soft breath or a loud dialogue. The speakers installed in the outer rim of TV delivers the better sound quality, and virtual surround audio type adds to it. The audio signals are enhanced with features like SAP/MTS Stereo and audio leveler. The features like PIP, sleep timer, parental control and channel labels are also there. The dimensions of Philips 32PF9830 Widescreen LCD TV are 60.5cm x 100cm x 9.6cm and the accessories include swivel TV stand,DVI cable and wall mount. The amazing picture quality, swivelling designer TV Stand, ambilight2 and excellent speakers with great performance in either end of aural spectrum are the vantages of this screen. It is shame that a high end TV laden with premium features lack digital tuner. Ouch!! The price tag may burn the fingers of many. The connectivity issues with XBox 360 may also annoy some of you. You cannot play XBox 360 with audio unless you get an adaptor, since it cannot transmit digital sound. The images are too sharp when you are giving weaker inputs and it may sometimes tamper the lusty dreamy feel of the movie/program. A shimmer can distract you, especially if the images are fast moving ones. To be crisp, this screen is indeed a good buy.
