Cinema 21:9 movie aspect ratio, no black bars at the bottom and top

Most TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (or 1.78:1) and a resolution of 1080p Full HD. However, Hollywood blockbusters are usually filmed in 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Philips new Cinema 21:9 TVs perfectly match the original movie format used by directors with a 21:9 (2.39:1) aspect ratio. So no matter which movie, you can now watch it in its original aspect ratio and without the black bars.

Watch any content in the format are used to, or convert it to a 21:9 screen

On the Cinema 21:9, you can watch any type of content just the way you want. While watching your favourite TV programme, the Unique Smart formatting technology can automatically adapt any content to the 21:9 screen or you can choose to watch it in its original format. At the push of a button, the choice is yours!

Ambilight Spectra 3-sided intensifies the viewing experience

Add a new dimension to your viewing experience with Ambilight Spectra 3. This patented Philips technology enlarges the screen by projecting a glow of light from 3 sides of the back of the TV screen onto the surrounding wall. Ambilight automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of the light to match the TV picture. Thanks to the wall-adaptive function, the colour of the light is perfect, regardless of your wall colour.

Full HD TV and Perfect Pixel HD Engine for unrivalled clarity

Experience unrivalled sharpness and clarity with Perfect Pixel HD Engine. Each pixel of the picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels. The result is a unique combination of sharpness, natural detail, vivid colours, superior contrast and smooth natural motion. Clean and razor sharp images come from artefact and noise detection and reduction in all content sources. The Full HD screen with 1920x1080 pixels produces brilliant flicker-free pictures with superb brightness.
