TV "cinema" format

Philips has recently introduced its new development - the world's first LCD TV with an aspect ratio of 21: 9. This screen format, identical to the screen format in cinemas, will allow you to watch movies without black bars above and below.


Philips Philips Cinema 21: 9 TV corresponds to the format of the film on which the films are shot - 2.39: 1. And this, respectively, and will allow you to watch movies, as opposed to the current 16: 9, in the "no-band" version.

Now about the TV itself. This 56-inch handsome, which, like all TVs from Philips is equipped with their fashionable Ambilight Spectra backlight and proprietary image processor Perfect Pixel HD Engine. The resolution of Philips Cinema 21: 9 is 2560x1080 pixels. The device has HDMI ports, a Wi-Fi module and a jack for connecting to a local network.

Philips Cinema 21: 9 will go on sale worldwide in the spring of 2009. And Russia will begin selling in June. It will cost $ 4300. I would say a little expensive. The pleasure is dubious: TV shows on it will look even worse than on the already familiar LCD shki with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. So this TV is exclusively for a separate room, equipped with a home theater. Here it should be very appropriate.
