New Ambilight TVs coming our way

Philip Wong | Jun 22, 2007

According to Philips, four lines of new flat-panel TVs will be available globally in 2007. They are the 3000, 5000, 7000 and flagship 9000-series. First to reach our Asia shores will be the 7000 lineup with confirmed specifications for dual HDMI, Pixel Plus HD engine and full-HD LCD panels. While details are sketchy at the moment, these will likely be localized models with a scaled-down feature set although their ultra-high 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution remains untouched.

For these new series, slim and chic is the order of the day, centered on a thin piano black LCD frame and streamlined bottom speakers for a refreshing new styling. We also caught wind that some of these will be outfitted with an onboard subwoofer for enhanced audio performance. That's besides the Perfect Pixel HD engine, three HDMI ports and LED Ambilight as reported at January's CES show. Most of these will be featured in its 9000-series though the company is tight-lipped on their availability in Asia.
