Product Information

Glossy and black, the super slim Philips 42PFL7404H 42” LCD HD Ready digital television boasts a whopping dynamic contrast ratio of 80000:1. You’ll enjoy deeper blacks and whiter whites, and thanks to an eye-popping 4 trillion colours and full support for 1080p, the images this TV produces will continue to astound you time and time again.

The Philips 42PFL7404H also utilises Pixel Precise HD technology to produce breathtaking natural pictures. Pixel Precise HD offers the unique combination of ultimate sharpness, natural detail, increased depth, vivid colours and smooth and natural motion from standard TV, high definition signals and multimedia sources. 100 Hz Clear LCD technology makes for a stupendously fast response time of 3ms and HD Natural Motion also ensure images are smooth moving and not blurred.

You’ll also be drawn closer to the images by immersive and atmospheric Incredible Surround sound. Its integrated digital tuner means you’ll enjoy a wide selection of Freeview channels without the need of an additional receiver.

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.

Full HD 1080p
1080p is the purest form of high definition that a television can display. This leads to a smoother, more film-like image, which will satisfy sports and movie lovers alike. With a 1080p signal, the information that makes up an image is displayed “progressively” or all at once, rather than in an “interlaced” fashion.
