The TV – which Philips claimed is the world’s first set able to offer a true cinematic display in your living room, thanks to its 21:9 aspect ratio – will hit UK shops in June.
But, as you’d probably have guessed, the set’s a wee bit more expensive than the average cinema ticket.
The 56-inch ultra-widescreen panel will run you €4,000 ($5,045).

Philips and Swarovski teamed up in order to complete the “Active Crystals” collection with a polished USB flash drive.
The gizmo can be protected by a user password in order to protect your data in case it gets stolen by one of your stalkers. And, here comes the 4 again. It comes in different flavors: Heart Ware, HeartBeat, Lock In and Lock Out.
Heart Ware and Heart Beat are worn as pendants and open to reveal a USB key with 1GB of memory – that’s space for around 1000 photos or 250 songs! The Lock In and Lock Out babies attach to a keychain and also flash 1GB innards
The Active Crystals collection is available on Swarovski website and each USB Memory Key retail for $180.

Angled as perfect to match Philips’ Ambilight flat TVs, the design is aligned with the company’s “Design Collection” key features.
The slim Soundbar has a flatter speaker system with refinement of the angled driver positioning, plus touch screen controls that are described as “a delight to behold and use”.

Philips’ luxury end of LED backlit LCD television sets the company calls Aurea, expands on its Ambilight technology.
While Ambilight is not something of a novelty, the new 42-inch Full HD TV sets not only have light emanating from the back onto the walls of your room, but the light also spills over onto the TV‘s white casing.
The overall effect is a kaleidoscopic halo around your TV sets, which the company says, offers a more immersive cinematic viewing experience, and Philips even has many research papers from universities in Eindhoven, Munich and New York to back up their claims.
And while the TV is off or on standby mode, you can select from a few color palettes to create a loungy ambience in your living space. Otherwise, its specifications are comparable with models of other notable makers of LCD TVs. Price : US$5,760
