Philips' LCDs get 120Hz de-judder

Although they won't have all the eco-friendly chops featured on the company's entry-level LCD, the most-expensive LCD HDTVs announced by Philips at CES this year do include 120Hz technology with de-judder, the company's first attempt at such video processing. The technology, dubbed HD Digital Natural Motion (HD DNM) with Motion Estimation Motion Compensation (MEMC) is part of the company's Pixel Plus 3 HD package--got all that?--joins similar technologies we've reviewed from Sony, Toshiba, and Samsung.


Other specs in the company's "7 series" sets include a 2ms response time (among the fastest we've seen), four HDMI inputs, and, in a few models, the company's well-known Ambilight technology, which incorporates backlights on the rear panel designed to illuminate the wall behind the set.

The non-Ambilight-equipped PFL7403 series includes the 42-inch 42PFL7403 (US$1,700 MSRP), the 47-inch 47PFL7403 (US$2,000), and the 52-inch 52PFL7403 (US$2,700). The PFL7603 series adds Ambilight for US$100 more and includes the same three sizes: The 42-inch 42PFL7603 (US$1,800), the 47-inch 47PFL7603 (US$2,100) and the 52-inch 52PFL7603 (US$2,800). If that's too confusing, just refer to this handy chart.
