To its core, Cinema 21:9 is built for movies. But what about programs which aren’t shot in 21:9?

You needn’t worry, advanced formatting technology simply, and almost imperceptibly, fits them to the screen. The image is constantly analyzed and the edges of the picture are progressively stretched to the 21:9 format. All you’ll see is a flawless image filling every pixel in front of you. Then again, the Cinema 21:9 is also equally accomplished with more common 16:9 material from sources including broadcast television, gaming, DVDs & Blu-ray Discs, which courtesy of best-in-class auto formatting technology can be resized to fill the screen. Of course, you can also enjoy this content in its native format.

How it works

The majority of Blu-ray or DVD movies are in 21:9 aspect ratio but show black bars on a 16:9 wide screen TV. On the Cinema 21:9 the movie is scaled to fit the 21:9 ultra widescreen perfectly without black bars.

Expanded experience with Ambilight Spectra 3

Cinema 21:9 comes with Ambilight Spectra 3 that gives the impression of a wider image. This patented Philips technology enlarges the screen further by projecting a glow of light from the back of the screen onto the surrounding wall. Ambilight adjusts automatically the colour and brightness of the light surrounding the TV to match with the picture, creating an immersive viewing experience. With Ambilight Spectra 3 movies truly come to life!

Breathtaking perfect pictures


Cinema 21:9 doesn’t just provide a wider image and immersive Ambilight. The Full HD screen gets enhanced with the revolutionary Perfect Pixel HD Engine technology, offering ultimate sharpness, natural motion, vivid colours and superb contrast. The Philips 200Hz Clear LCD brings the response time of LCD TV to an incredible 1ms, so even with the fastest action scene you will be enthralled by the action.

Taking the strain out of television

The benefits of Ambilight have been proven by independent academic research. In 2005, The Lighting Research Centre of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York confirmed Ambilight reduced eyestrain/fatigue and increased visual comfort, compared to normal TV. While in 2007, the Ludwig- Maximilians-University, Munich, found Ambilight to be less taxing on the brain; increasing relaxation and enabling more emotional involvement.
