The ultimate guest experience with Ambilight and Full HD. SmartPower² and Five Star Service deliver lower total cost of ownership, and SmartPlug integrates easily with PPV providers. MPEG-4 compatibility with the latest satellite systems.

SmartClone for substantial time savings
Philips remains on the forefront of making installation as simple as possible. SmartClone offers USB cloning, or on select models, revolutionary RF cloning, which allows all TV's on property to be programmed in as little as five minutes. Additional hardware is required to take advantage of RF cloning.

HD content protection with Pro:Idiom™ Plus
Pro:Idiom™ was created for the hospitality industry to protect first run movies and other HD premium content from piracy. Philips Pro:Idiom™ Plus televisions offer secure HD content protection not only for PPV hotels, but now also for stand alone properties. (Additional fees may apply for stand alone use) (Pro:Idiom™ is a trademark of the Zenith Corp.)

VTrack™ forensic watermark
Philips VTrack™ watermarking embeds an invisible forensic watermark in the signal, which can be detected via software to trace pirated content back to the source of recording. Philips VTrack™ is the first solution that protects first run movies and other premium content from optical piracy, helping preserve the early release window that hotels have always enjoyed.

MPEG-4 for the latest HD signals
MPEG-4 (Moving Picture Experts Group H.264) compression technology allows more HD content to be delivered than ever before. Satellite providers are already using MPEG-4 to offer the choice of up to 150 national HD channels and 1,500 local broadcast HD and digital channels. Cable, broadcast, and telecommunications providers are expected to also migrate to the format, but with these Philips TVs you are ready today!

Five Star Service - two-year advanced exchange warranty
Philips offers unmatched commitment to keeping your guest rooms in working order. Our products are so reliable that we offer a two-year advanced exchange warranty. In the event that something does go wrong, we guarantee to ship a replacement set to you, within 72 hours during the first year.

SmartPower² and ESP for energy savings
Our second generation power saving technology allows the backlight intensity to be dynamically adjusted by the system to reduce the power consumption by up to 60%, saving substantially on energy costs. In addition, Philips' Energy Savings Programmability (ESP) allows the set to turn itself off when not in use to save even more energy when guests or maids leave televisions on for long periods while the room is vacant.

On-shore 24/7 help desk
Your hotel never closes, and neither do we. We offer a 24/7 Help Desk staffed by knowledgeable and friendly personnel to help you with any aspect of your Philips TV install or use.

Lead-free/RoHS compliant with flame retardant housing
In additon to being lead-free and RoHS compliant, Philips TVs have a special housing of eco-friendly, non-brominated flame-retardant materials. Independent tests carried out by emergency fire services have shown that whereas TVs can sometimes intensify fires caused by external sources, Philips TVs will not contribute to the fire.

Eco-sensitive materials and packaging
Philips TVs are designed and produced according to our EcoDesign principles aimed at minimizing overall environmental impact, through lower power consumption, removal of hazardous substances, lower weight, more efficient packaging and better recyclability.

SmartWindow for simultaneous TV viewing and PC use
SmartWindow allows your guests the added convenience of working on their laptop PC's on one half of the screen while enjoying the TV content of their choice on the other half. The perfect balance of work and leisure.

Ambilight 2 Channel
Ambilight makes an impressive contribution to the overall viewing experience by producing ambient light to complement the colors and light intensity of the on-screen image. It adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, completely immersing you into the content you are watching. It creates ambiance, stimulates more relaxed viewing, and improves perceived picture detail, contrast and color. Ambilight automatically and independently adapts its colors according to the changing content on the screen.
