Philips launching a 21:9 Cinema TV in Europe this spring

When we talk about aspect ratios, widescreen typically equates to 16:9. Unfortunately 16:9 still nets you those annoying black bars at the top of your TV screen. Not quite as bad as cinematic film on 4:3, but still a nuisance. Philips is looking to put the black bars behind us with its 21:9 Cinema TV. Now that is widescreen, which is, of course, assisted by Philips' ubiquitous Ambilight technology. According to Philips, the Cinema TV will launch in the UK, France, Germany, and Belgium sometime this spring. No word on a US release or price. You can see the official site here, but it won't launch in its full glory until January 29.
