LCD TVs with Ambilight Full Surround

Ambilight

Today the contents of a discussion forum private message enlightened me to some technology that is quietly sneaking up the ranks of coolness. I know we’ve all heard of Ambilight Full Surround , but it looks like Philips is working hard to take it to the next level.

From the site:

You’re going to see television in a completely different way with Ambilight technology from Philips. Ambilight is a unique theatre lighting system that actively adjusts both brightness and colour based on picture content. It lets your eye see more detail, contrast and colours. And even eliminates on-screen reflection.

Sounds like I might have to pick up a new toy!

New super thin LCD

As pointed out by CrunchGear, LCD screens are beginning to move into a new, much thinner design realm that will allow them to be easily used in cell phone technology.

LG.Philips is king for now when it comes to thin LCD dislays. The new screen measures a tiny 1.3-millimeters thick with no image degradation.

Thin Display

The original article does, however, point to some disadvantages to using screens this thin.
