Philips 42PFL9803H 42″ LCD
Philips 42PFL9803
The release of the 42PFL9803 from Philips sees the introduction of ground breaking technology in the form of LED backlighting. Winner of the EISA ‘European LCD-TV 2008-2009′ award, the 42″ set delivers high contrast black levels. This latest LED backlighting technology incorporated in the 9800 series means these new LCD TVs are arguably a match for the best plasma TV sets.
Black levels and motion blur has always been a challenge to overcome with current LCD technology. Thanks to the revolutionary LED backlight and the unique LED local dimming backlight technology, LED LUX washed out blacks are no longer a problem.
The LED Lux panels use a rear mounted grid of over 1000 white LEDs that are operated selectively. They generate brilliant light in bright areas and are dimmed to lower levels in dark scenes. The result is intense colour, very high contrast and natural rich tones.
42PFL9803H Connectivity
The 42PFL9803H boasts four HDMI with EasyLink for full HD connection and features an Ethernet port for hooking up to all your networked content. Other key features include Ambilight Spectra 2 technology, Perfect Pixel HD Engine, 100Hz Clear LCD with a 2ms response time and a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.
Philips high end TVs use latest picture enhancing technology like the Perfect Pixel HD Engine. This powerful video processing system boosts sharpness clarity and contrast and delivers a smooth natural motion whatever you are watching. Video noise is also suppressed in all content sources from multimedia to standard TV resulting in razor sharp images.
Ambilight Spectra 2 technology emits a glow from the back of the screen onto surrounding wall to compliment the colour content shown on the screen. It automatically adjusts according to how bright the images are; this is both pleasing on the eye as well as relaxing for long term viewing.
Another key feature especially important when it comes to fast moving scenes is Perfect Natural Motion. This is in charge of correcting any judder in broadcast and pre-recorded material including 1080p movies and 24p True cinema on Blu-ray and DVD. Motion performance is smooth and sharp no matter how fast things are moving.
On board are all the essential sockets you need enabling you to access a variety of picture, audio and video files from a connected PC. There are 4 x HDMIs, USB input and a DLNA-certified ethernet port.
Three of the HDMI sockets are located at the back and 1 to the side so there are plenty to go around for connecting devices such as an HD set-top box, Blu-ray player and games console or camcorder. The inclusion of Philips’ Easylink makes operating any connected devices and TV functionalities much simpler from one remote control.
Philips’ debut of this 42 inch LED TV has caused quite a stir in the LED market. It has earned a “What Plasma & LCD TV Editor’s Choice and awarded 4 Stars in their Special LED TV report.
