Daily Video: Philips Carousel for Cinema 21:9 TV

For more, visit cinema.philips.com

Philips rolls out the red carpet for Cinema 21:9 with a cinematic experience exclusively created for online. As any movie lover can tell you, watching a movie at home with the black bars really takes away much of the magic. To experience a movie as it was intended to be watched, Philips developed the worlds first cinematic proportion TV called Cinema 21:9. Cinema 21:9 has a unique aspect ratio that replicates cinematic proportions and finally removes the black bars found on every other 16:9 TV. Complete with three sided Ambilight, best understood as surround sound for eyes, and Philips award winning picture quality, Cinema 21:9 provides a truly cinematic experience at home.
