Revolutionary floating glass design—inspire your interior

Our innovative sheet of glass panel redefines how you look at your TV—and how your TV looks. The gradient screen print flowing across the glass surface transitions from dark to light—accentuating the TVs floating effect. Lean it against a wall in a loft, amongst antiques in a farmhouse or hang it with modern art in a gallery—it’s always at home wherever it lives.

Ambilight 3-sided XL intensifies your viewing experience

This patented Philips technology makes your screen seem much wider—and your viewing experience more immersive— by projecting an extra wide glow from three-sides of the TV screen onto the surrounding wall. The color automatically adjusts to match the TV picture. Thanks to a wall-adaptive function, the color of the light is perfectly aligned with the TV picture, regardless of the wall color. You can customize the experience using various settings to suit your viewing preference.

1400Hz Perfect Motion Rate (PMR) for superb motion sharpness

For picture movement that looks precise, smooth and natural, Philips created PMR—our standard for measuring moving image sharpness. Perfect Motion Rate is the combined result of our unique video processing, number of frames per second and refresh rate of each frame, perfection in dimming capabilities, and backlighting technology. A higher PMR number contributes to higher contrast and better motion clarity—which means a superior image for you.
