A pity that Philips loses market share of televisions in Spain . The Dutch firm was the benchmark brand a few years ago. And, of course, with a TV like this Philips Cinema 21: 9 they are not going to get it back. And who is interested in paying 4,000 euros for a television in 21: 9 cinema format ? A TV that, at this size, shows huge black stripes on the sides when it comes to watching TV. Especially now that the chains are betting on the extended 16: 9 format .

This new Philips Cinema 21: 9 LCD TV aims to launch a new generation of televisions that can ensure a better cinematic experience . Philips Cinema 21: 9 is a 56-inch screen that eliminates the two black bars that appear on all TVs when watching a movie, to adapt to the format used when shooting movies.

In addition, the NetTV service has also been added to watch some Internet videos directly on the television . Videos that would come from well-known sites like YouTube . Of course, if standard TV looks black, we don't even want to imagine how YouTube videos will look on this TV.
