The beautifully designed Philips 42PFP5522D/05 LCD TV uses Pixel Plus technology to produce breathtaking natural pictures. The Pixel Plus processor works by increasing the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp images with incredible depth and detail from any source. This slick black centrepiece sounds amazing too with Incredible Surround which dramatically magnifies the sound field by mixing sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This creates a more natural sound dimension with greater depth and width, without the use of additional speakers. Its integrated digital tuner means youll enjoy a wide selection of Freeview channels without the need of an additional receiver. And planning what you want to watch is easy with the electronic programme guide. This television is high definition ready which means it will have the ability to display high definition signals with the addition of a separate HD receiver. High Definition Television will be the highest quality of digital television available. It increases the amount of scan lines to provide clearer and more detailed images than those available on regular digital or analogue televisions.
