I don’t know if we will ever see the 56-inch Philips Cinema 21:9 in the US, but if I didn’t have a projector, I would totally fall for it. Even at the $US7400 price tag just published in the UK.
The Philips 56PFL9954H Cinema 21:9 uses the same aspect ratio of most movies out there, which means that it eliminates the black bars while watching a Blu-ray title. And while every single consumers electronics expert in the UK is raving about the amazing quality of this 8.3-million-pixel TV set, the Philips Cinema 21:9 still has to do zooming to make the movie to fill its 1080-pixel vertical resolution. In other words: It looks great, but it’s still not perfect. [Daily Mail]

also, for that price, just get a projector and anamorphic lens.
