  • You can't even get the model number right!! It's a PHILIPS 56PFL9954 not a PHILIPS 56PFL9945. How the hell are you a manager of an AV shop!!

    Not a review, just a poor overview of a few features, not very many at that. The sides are also cropped on this tv, just read What Hi-Fi's review.

  • @napateaparty If you remove an area of the TV currently occupied by blackness and replace that with the rest of the picture, what's happening then, when the space is occupied by the picture providing colours & detail instead of blackness?

    I agree though, this is more of a sales pitch by the store than an unbiased review.

  • 4000 euros is cheap,wtf then my 22 lg pc monitor is nothing

  • It is 80k dynamic not static I am sure.

  • This is not a review, this is just a sales advert for the TV and some company in the UK....

  • Nick, well, if you either

    -- like your circles elliptic, or

    -- don't mind cutting something like a quarter of the picture at the top and bottom, then perhaps that is possible :) Unfortunately there is no other way of filling the screen with a smaller aspect ratio picture. That's geometry.

  • @piitrys

    but u can change it and the stripes on the side go away :D

  • And the irony is it's showing 'Bolt', a 1.85:1 aspect ratio movie. So it's either cropped or squeezed to fit the 21:9 TV...

    LOL They didn't even have it showing a 2.40:1 'Cinemascope' style film...

  • A couple of mistakes here. This TV will NOT reveal any additional detail, it will only eliminate black bars from 'scope' movies. Also, there is no such thing as a blu ray DVD. There's something called DVD, and something else called blu ray disc.

  • I'm sorry Chris but this is not a review, it's a PR presentation full of bs. 80000:1 contrast ratio? Yeah, right. 200Hz? Useless, just has negative impact on the picture quality. The ultra-wide screen must be great for watching ultra-wide aspect movies, but most of the time you'll be wasting almost quarter of the screen real estate when watching 16:9 content (black stripes on the sides).
