Highlights
Smart LED TV with Ambilight Spectra 2 and Multi-view
127 cm (50") Ultra wide screen Easy 3D
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, 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.
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 2
Add a new dimension to your viewing
experience with Ambilight Spectra 2. This
patented Philips technology enlarges the
screen by projecting a glow of light, on the 2
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.
Easy 3D
Easy 3D ensures you get long hours of comfort
while watching 3D thanks to the flicker-free,

minimalistic design with stunning image quality

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.
