What is it?
Ambiglow adds a new dimension to your
viewing experience. This patented Philips
technology uses two rear facing rows of
bright LED’s projecting a glow of light on the
surrounding wall. The innovative Ambiglow
processor continuously adjusts the overall color
and brightness of the light to match the on
screen image. User options like Auto mode, 3
step brightness settings along with pure white
glow mode allow you to adjust the ambiance to
your liking and available wall surface. Whether
you are playing fast 3D or 2D games, or
watching movies, Philips Ambiglow offers you a
unique and immersive viewing experience.
How does it work?
It is recommended that you dim the lighting
conditions in your room for maximum effect.
Place the monitor 10 cm to 15 cm away from
a flat wall (we recommend white colored wall).
Ensure that Ambiglow is set to “on” mode. Start
a movie, or play a game from your computer.
The monitor will react with appropriate colors
and project them on its rear-side on the wall
creating a halo effect, overall matching the image
on the screen. You can also manually select
Bright, Brighter, or Brightest mode depending on
your preference and your wall surface. A pure
white color option is also available for “biased
lighting” effect which helps reduce eye fatigue
under prolonged usage.
