Philips Introduces Integrated Digital Tuners and Sleek New Designs to 2005 TV Range
Announcement posted by Philips Electronics Australia 22 Sep 2005
Philips Electronics is pleased to announce six new FlatTVs, consisting of two plasma televisions and four LCD televisions to its 2005 range. The new models will supplement the existing award-winning range of FlatTVs from Philips, which already includes five LCD and three plasma televisions. The new range will also feature two models equipped with an integrated digital tuner, the 32PF5520D and 42PF7520D.
Integrated Digital Tuner in Philips Plasma and LCD TV
Philips 2005 range of FlatTVs features a 32-inch LCD and 42-inch Plasma TV with integrated digital tuners, the 32PF5520D and 42PF7520D. With the launch of these two units, Philips is future-proofing Australian consumers by preparing them for the future of free-to-air terrestrial digital TV broadcasts. Without the need for an external set-top box, the sets will provide viewers with easy access to the new channels, services and features digital broadcasters will be offering.
Another benefit to onscreen performance, and available on both models, is the Pulse Killer Chip, based on Philips Nexperia semiconductor system. This innovative and exclusive Philips chip technology first applied in Philips set-top boxes actively ensures that digital broadcast enjoyment is not affected by electrical interference from external sources like overhead power cables and tram lines.
The Philips 32PF5520D 32-inch/80cm LCD TV has a WXGA display and high resolution of 1366 x 768p, while the 42PF7520D 42-inch/107cm plasma TV has an XGA display and resolution of 1024 x 768p. Both are equipped with HDMI connectivity and Virtual Dolby Surround Sound.
