This 56-inch ultra-widescreen panel has more than enough reasons for the couch potatoes to wait eagerly for its launch. The company has already claimed it to be the world’s first HDTV set to deliver a true cinematic experience with its 21:9 aspect ratio.

Colors change according to the displayed thing and there are no letterbox strips on the screen. This behemoth uses Philips’ famed Ambilight lighting system.

The Philips’ Cinema telly will hit UK shops in June for €4000.

ElectricPig: Philips leaked its Cinema 21:9 super widescreen TV earlier this month, but it’s just given a sneak peak in the flesh.

Philips is hoping that the Cinema 21:9 will be the start of a mass change from 16:9 ratio video to a more movie friendly 21:9, and from the looks of what we saw today, it could be on to something.

The Cinema 21:9 TV is 1080p compatible, with Ambilight on three sides to illuminate the walls and soothe tired eyes.
