But with less hype than other brands, Philips has developed its Net TV platform since 2009. This year, the company has given the final push to the platform and her has been renamed as smart TV.

The first thing they have done has been developing a free for IOS and Android application that allows you to convert any tablet or smartphone into remote control, an especially important detail for typing web addresses or do searches from the virtual keyboard of these devices.

The second step on which rests smart TV is called SimplyShare. It's a proprietary technology similar to the ones developed by Acer and Samsung which seeks to facilitate the DLNA over Wi-Fi connection so we can connect any computer, tablet, or wireless device directly to the TV and see the content that we keep it.

The Smart TV platform has a large list of downloadable applications that allow access to videoclubes online as VideoLand, VideoFutur, Film2Home, iConcerts or Cartoon Network.

One of the most important plaicaciones is Skype, which has been conveniently integrated into smart TV for videoconferences to split screen using a Philips technology called Multiview that allows up to six combinations of split screen. The webcam, that Yes, we must connect it apart. smart TV also has applications for social networks for Facebook and Twitter.

The smart TV platform offers enough flexibility in record content from electronic programme guides, and even leaves to retrieve already issued programs for a growing list of television channels. However, the best incorporation is can record content directly in memory and USB hard drives.

The system is not perfect and the copyright always have something to say. USB recording system is protected with a DRM that only allows to see the program on the same television that was recorded. Despite this restriction imposed on Philips, the option of plugging a simple USB memory stick and give it to burn is a welcome option.

Benefits of smart TV will be available on all televisions of the series 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, and the two Cinema 21: 9. Those who have prior to the 2011 or on other brands of televisions can access these services from the new Blu-Ray players.

In addition to smart TV, Philips has also improved the technology of ambient lighting AmbiLight, which is now called ambilight spectra xl and also illuminates the top of the frame with two additional rows of LEDs. So far, this advanced lighting system version is only available in the series 9000.

2011 Televisions casing also has been cut in several centimeters, and it has refined the coverage of the glass to minimize reflections caused by the light of the environment. Some of the models also incorporate a support that can alternate in two positions to pose the TV on the furniture or anchor it to a wall without needing to be done with some of the expensive Vesa support.

Technically, the new Philips TVs by 2011 accumulate large numbers ranging from 100 to 400 Hz, full hd led Prolighting, response times of 0.5 milliseconds and 100,000,000: 1dynamic contrast ratios. The Dutch company teams are not of the more affordable, but have a well-deserved reputation for reluctant and the quality of image and sound that we had opportunity to see yesterday in Barcelona is in the point too many models in the list of 'Want it'. We are waiting to be able to analyze them more thoroughly to tell you how is all this mass of high-tech field.
