Philips’ BDP7100 brings stunning 1080p true high definition pictures, and brilliant imagery. Rich surround sound is heightened with Dolby TrueHD™ and DTS HD High Resolution Audio™ multi-channel audio decoding and digital audio optical outputs. Being able to playback a current collection of CD and DVD and enhancing the picture quality of DVDs by upscaling them to 1080p is a major attraction to consumers who, as they migrate to HDTV sets, find that standard DVDs do not offer the HD content they expect.

The Philips BDP7100 supports native 24fps cinematic resolution input via HDMI, which is the same format used in movies. In addition, HDMI CEC function allows the control of other devices with one remote*. Philips’ Blu-ray Disc player delivers on the HD promise with pristine 1080p picture quality. Java brings interactivity and graphical enhancements, and there is a choice of seven languages for On-screen Display including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese.

Under the hood Philips has 100Hz refresh, “invisible speakers” and even a trio of HDMI inputs. The new Ambilight Spectra tech uses 126 LEDs and shoots light through the “Active Frame” for a more extensive Ambilight experience. The displays will be available next month, but there’s still no word on price.
