Product Description:

Lower the lights, then fire up the 55-inch Philips 55PW9363 rear-projection TV for a full cinematic experience in your own home. This HD-ready set produces 1080i display conversion, regardless of source, and offers a variety of Philips' advanced video features, including APAC (automatic phosphor aging compensation) and Eye Fidelity. It also features a dual-tuner picture-in-picture, color temperature control, DVI input for optimized high-definition video, and Dolby Virtual surround sound capability. Stationary images, particularly black bars that outline 4:3 programming on a widescreen TV, can eventually leave an after-image on the screen. The 55PW9363's APAC feature automatically shifts the image, just enough to blur after-image retention, thereby reducing the effect of stationary images. The Active Control Plus function continually adjusts picture settings over 60 times per second, compensating for changes in ambient light and ensuring that the viewing experience is always optimal. Philips' Eye Fidelity line-doubling feature gives you the choice between progressive-scan (480p) or a line-doubled (1080i) picture when viewing non-HD broadcasts. The interlaced mode provides a doubled-line interlaced display of progressive, which helps smooth out jagged lines seen on curved and angled edges. With the dual-tuner picture-in-picture, you can tune to a program in the main window, and scan other channels in the PIP window. From a single antenna or cable input, signals are separated into two signals within the television, so no external splitter is required. Other features include a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a three-line digital comb filter, three color temperature settings (warm, normal, cool), a digital histogram, and 7-inch liquid picture tubes (red, green, and blue). The protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen. This filter has been formulated for HD displays to give the best picture and still protect your investment. This set has a built-in 181-channel tuner, though you will need an HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. The two 10-watt RMS speakers feature Dolby processing circuitry for enhanced surround sound effect that creates the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the hassle of additional rear speakers. Other audio features include a sound leveler system and adjustments for volume, bass, treble, balance, AVL, headphone, and bass boost. The 55PW9363 has HD DVI and component inputs, 3 S-video inputs (1 side), 3 composite A/V inputs (1 side), 1 A/V output, 1 standard component input, and a headphone jack.

Comment: Great Deal!! Rating:
I purchased this TV from Amazon about a month ago. Delivery and setup was flawless. The TV itself has a great display, viewable from most angles (much better than the 52" RCA I was looking at). The sound is good and should be adequate for most rooms - I have a 600 Watt Surround system, so I haven't done much with the TV audio. Great price, Great picture and tax free to boot!
