Passive 3D technology is a great choice for the Philips 50PFL7956H, which looks better in three dimensions than the active technology-based 58PFL9956H. On the other hand, a contrast ratio of 900:1, a ghosting time of 19 ms and a tricky resolution of...

Op zich lijkt Philips de basics op het gebied van bouw- en beeldkwaliteit prima op order te hebben, als ze nou nog een goede mediaspeler in zouden bouwen had de TV van mij een zeer goed als eindoordeel gekregen, nu kan ik niet meer dan een goed geven. ...

La technologie passive polarisée apporte un vrai plus à ce téléviseur. Il offre un meilleur rendu 3D que le 58PFL9956H (doté d'une 3D active). En revanche, son taux de contraste (900:1), son temps de rémanence (19 ms)...

Das 21:9-Kinobild-Format bringt auch bei "nur" 50 Zoll Bilddiagonale ein tolles Seherlebnis. 3D-Filme bereiten in zwei Metern Displayabstand große Freude und die leichten Polfilterbrillen tragen sich sehr angenehm. Dank dieser Brillentechnologie...
