The 3600 Series is Philips' entry level line of high definition LCD televisions introduced in 2008 that feature a native 1080p resolution. This series competes with entry level offerings from other manufacturers and contains a similar set of specifications. Two distinguishing features are the USB port for audio/photo playback, and HDMI-CEC support which are usually found on more expensive lines. This line is a step up over the 3400 series which has a 720p native resolution. The step up line is the 5400 and 5600 series which feature the next generation Pixel Plus 3 processing engine among other improvements.
