At least week’s CEDIA trade show, Philips took the wraps off two new 42-inch ClearLCD LCD televisions which combine the company’s color processing and adjustable backlighting technology with an industry-leading 4ms response time and the company’s AmbiLight feature which “draws the viewer into the screen.” The only thing missing? Native 1080p resolution.
“ClearLCD technology represents years of intensive research and engineering that has resulted in the finest LCD picture imaginable,” said Scott Levitan, Philips North America’s senior VP of marketing and sales, in a statement. “Contrast, sharpness and black levels have evolved to unprecedented levels. Every detail, whether it’s an action scene in a film or a basketball player racing down the court, is clear and dazzling.”
