Highlights

Cinema 21:9 ultra wide screen
Most TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (or 1.78:1), and a resolution of 1080p Full HD. However, big-budget Hollywood blockbusters are usually filmed in the much wider 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Philips new Cinema 21:9 televisions perfectly match the original film format used by directors with a 21:9 (2.39:1) aspect ratio. So whether you're watching that famous classic film, or the latest Hollywood release, you can watch them in their original aspect ratio and without black bars — the way directors intended them to be seen. Enjoy the action in the comfort of your own home!

Multi-view
The Ultra wide screen of the Cinema 21:9 is the ideal screen to enjoy a world of connectivity in a comfortable way. With Multi- view, while watching football on the left-hand side of the screen, you can simultaneously browse the Internet on the right side, or chat on Twitter. With Philips Net TV, top online content and services are available at the touch of a button: Video on demand, catch up TV, Twitter and many more! A Net TV window can be opened next to the TV, or the TV can be combined with another video device. The small screen can easily be swapped with your main activity to keep you in control.

Optimal viewing on 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
Add a new dimension to your viewing experience with Ambilight Spectra 3. This unique Philips technology enlarges the screen by projecting a glow of light, on the 3 sides of the TV, from the back of the screen onto the surrounding wall. Ambilight automatically adjusts the colour and brightness of the light to match the picture, creating an immersive viewing experience. The wall-adaptive function ensures that the colour of the light always matches the picture, no matter what the colour of your wall is. Get the bigger picture with Ambilight.

3D Max
Be enthralled by 3D movies in your own living room with the 3D Max. The combination of the fast display and Active shutter glasses bring real-life depth in Full HD resolution. Now all 2D content can be experienced in 3D and you can even control the depth of the 3D to your liking. Your TV is ready for the 3D Max experience by adding the 3D Max glasses PTA516 and a 3D compatible Blu-ray player (Accessory Philips PTA516 sold separately).

Energy Class B
For many years Philips has pro-actively been working on the reduction of both on-mode and standby power consumption of its televisions and as a result most Philips televisions have achieved green EU energy labels in 2010. The greener the label, the lower the on-mode power consumption and the lower your energy bill and friendlier to the environment.
