Philips Cinema 21:9
[great images at URL]
Philips have just announced the Philips Cinema 21:9 LCD HDTV, which is the
worlds first cinema proportioned LCD HDTV. Offering the very best cinematic
experience with an aspect ratio of 21:9, rather than the common widescreen
aspect ratio of 16:9.
Exactly matching the same proportions and aspect ratio as a cinema screen,
the Philips Cinema 21:9 HDTV perfectly displays movie content within the
screen. Unlike regular widescreen HDTVs of 16:9, the Philips Cinema 21:9
Cinemascope does not show black bars at the top and bottom of the screen,
nor stretch the image to fit.
The Cinema 21:9 screen features a large 56-inch screen, allowing movies in
the 2.39:1 format completely fill the screen, just how the movie director
intended. Three sided Ambilight Spectra is also included to make the action
even more immersive. Regular 16:9 content from TV broadcast and more use
highly advanced formatting technology to fit to the screen.
Des Power, Senior Vice President Marketing Philips Television, Philips new
Cinema 21:9 takes enjoying movies at home to an entirely new level, the
advantages over a traditional 16:9 ratio screen in side by side comparisons
are truly striking.
The Philips Cinema 21:9 LCD HDTV should be available in Spring 09,
initially in Europe, for an estimated price of £3000.
Update: We now have a few more technical details about the Philips 21:9. It
will feature a 56-inch 2,560 x 1,080 native resolution panel, 1ms response
time, 200Hz Clear LCD technology, 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, Spectra
Ambilight, Net TV integration, built in WiFi, DLNA support, and 5x HDMI 1.3
