Philips' New Line Of Flat Plasma And LCD TVs.

Philips Australia has announced the availability of the two largest Philips plasma televisions to date, the 50PF9966 and 42PF9966. At the same time, they've released eleven new look flat television solutions for every room in the home, with sizes that extend to 50 inches in Plasma and 42 inches in LCD TV.

Highlighting key innovations in the new FlatTV range for 2004, these models feature Philips' own Ambilight and Pixel Plus 2 visual enhancing technologies.

Philips is significantly extending its FlatTV range to match consumers' growing demand for flat, slim and widescreen televisions, modern design and advanced picture quality.

Ambilight is a revolutionary back-lighting system developed by Philips, which adjusts ambient lighting around the television to match the colour of the content featured on screen. It works to create a superior viewing experience and reduced eye strain.

Ambilight can be set for real-time adjustment of light intensity and colour to complement the viewer's television programming or movies. It can also be fixed on a colour choice of the consumer's preference - red, green, blue, white or combination thereof - when the set is on or off.

Philips has also included in its top end models invisible NXT SurfaceSound speakers, while in screens smaller than 30 inches, Philips has opted for an overall sleek appearance in black or silver casings.

At 50 inches, the 50PF9966 is the largest Plasma television in Philips' new range of products.
