Product Description:

Philips' streamlined, affordable 27PT8302 offers a 27-inch RealFlat, high-definition picture tube for vivid images from a progressive-scan DVD player (at 480p resolution) or an outboard digital set-top box (accepting with both 480p and 1080i inputs). The set's standard, 4:3 aspect ratio matches that of most TV broadcasts, and letterboxing options are available for viewing widescreen programs in their original dimensions. The set offers numerous image enhancements. Crystal Clear III encompasses velocity-scan modulation and a 2D Y/C digital comb filter, which improves quality of incoming interlaced video signals 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). Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. EyeFidelity gives you the choice between different line doubling and scanning techniques--progressive or interlaced--so you can reduce motion artifacts like jagged edges and stair stepping, viewing material in progressive scan (480p) or a line doubled (1050i) picture. Other picture technologies include Digital Color Transient Improvement (CTI), Digital Luminance Transient Improver (LTI), and Digital Histogram. The set offers stereo reception with 10 watts power per stereo speaker, and a choice of onboard Dolby Virtual Surround or Incredible Surround processing simulates surround sound from any 2 speakers. Two sets of high-definition component-video inputs (1080i/480p) accommodate a set-top box/HD satellite receiver and a progressive-scan DVD player, while side and rear composite- and S-video inputs accommodate other hardware. Rear-panel audio/video outputs make it a cinch to hook the set up with your home theater surround receiver for a truly enveloping AV experience. A 0.125-inch headphone jack lets you listen in private. The set includes an NTSC tuner (with 100 station presets) for standard TV reception and comes with a Sofa-Lite remote control. What's in the Box TV, a universal remote control, remote batteries, operating instructions, and warranty information.
