Philips Cinema 21:9 incoming 18 June

The Philips Cinema 21:9 HDTV that brings true cinema widescreen to your living room ships in just over a fortnight’s time. Read on for that all important pricetag!

You’ve seen the hands and eyes-on shots of the Philips Cinema 21:9 already. You’ve seen the stunning promo video that’s been doing the rounds online. Now you can finally get a Philips Cinema 21:9 of your own, and banish the black bars from movie Blu-rays for good with the ultra widescreen ratio HDTV from 18 June in the UK.

Of course, that 56-inch, 1080p screen acreage doesn’t come cheap. The Philips Cinema 21:9 comes in at £4,500, making the Sony XEL-1 almost seem like a bargain. For your cash though, the Philips Cinema 21:9 also comes with 5 HDMI ports, Ambilight Spectra 3 background lighting to match what’s on screen, and access to Philips’ NetTV widgets via Wi-Fi or ethernet. Not a bad package for the home cinema purist: just don’t expect old 4:3 TV shows to take up the whole screen!
