Philips' 21:9 Cinema TV probably not coming to North America

The Philips 21:9 Cinema TV I first told you about earlier this month probably won't be hitting the United States, or Canada for that matter. A spokesperson for the company told ZDNet that the release will likely be limited to Europe, which seems to mesh with the previous announcement...but I was hopeful. The 21:9 aspect ratio enables the 56-inch set to reproduce Hollywood film very close to its 2.39:1 aspect ratio. It's tough to say how well it works and unfortunately we probably won't know anytime soon, but we should find out more near the end of February.
