Ultra Widescreen TV

16 Jan 2009

Philips Cinema 21-9

Don't bother pulling out your ruler. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. That's an ultra widescreen flat screen TV brought to you by Philips. They figure people are losing way too much info watching movies originally filmed at a 21:9 aspect ratio (ahem, Iron Man, Batman... all the "_man" movies) so they're bringing the cinema experience home.

Love the idea but damn, that's gonna be some big ass side letter boxing when I watch normal broadcast television or even regular movies filmed at 16:9.
