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.
