This would really only have been useful for showing cinema films (or still photos of fold-out magazines . All TV material, new or old, is in either 4:3 or 16:9 format so you’d almost always have ‘zwarte balken’ somewhere on such a ginormous screen. No loss in my opinion. 3D has much more potential.
right for TV broadcasts – but the 21:9 TV series had/has a differenz target audience: movies… but this audience was just to small from my point of view…
LG think that they can sell their new 80″ television to home consumers, in which case I fear Philips may have withdrawn their 21:9 TV from the market too quickly. Analyst projections show that in 3 years time the majority of homes will have a TV which is 55″ or over – the same target market that Philips were aiming for at the outset. Have a rethink Philips – you were just a little too ahead of the competition but your time may yet come [especially as you also own the Ambilight patent which is a big selling point in my opinion].
Finde es TRAURIG, das Philips das 21/9 Format nicht mehr mitmachen will. Das Format war TOP. Endlich Filme ohne Balken. Bitte bitte macht noch ein Model !!!!
