More on the TV

Since the Philips 32PFL5522D 32 Inch LCD TV is a HDV compatible unit, you can receive HD signals and immediately put them on the display, even though these may not be in the highest quality level of high definition or HD. Using the HD-ready component, you can broadcast signals of 1080i or 720p at the least, used together with proper TV inputs. The three-jack (RCA/Phono) component video connection can divide the video signal into three different parts with 2 functioning as colour signals and 1 functioning as a brightness signal. It will then produce a clearer image by boosting the bandwidth for colour information.

The Scart connectors can interconnect the colour television to the audio-visual equipment physically and electrically. The S-Video input can then transmit video signals via a single cable after separating the video info into 1 for colour and 1 for brightness. The overall look of the image will be enhanced. The unit is considerably lightweight, weighing only 17.5 kgs even though the screen measures a full 32 inches diagonally. The screen is also coated with anti-reflection material for less glare.
