No, but the guy who has 9 grand has probably already blown it on that 50" Sharp monstrosity.

Just out of curiosity, what size of 16:9 display would it take to produce the same size image as the 21:9? (I'm sure I *should* be able to work it out mathmatically, but...well, I can't :o/ ).

Area of the Cinema 219 ~ 8 sq ft

Dimensions of a 16:9 TV with that area ~ 45 x 25.3in and 51.6in diagonal.

A 52in LCD is probably about £2k and a 60in Kuro offers more screen for similar money...

I think I've worked this out correctly.

A 56in 21:9 display would need a 59.1in 16:9 display to display a full picture+ a whole lot of black border.

@Hugo - that aint what Beaky69 asked

@CptKirk - you beat me to it & you are correct (wonderful how O level Maths comes back to you when you need it :))

Depends what figure you want. I'm assuming in both cases the image talked about is filling the entire screen - the whole point is not to have black bars, right?

Beaky69 should clear this up for us.

Anyway I'd just buy a regular large 16:9 sreen.

Would 21:9 make your "Ultimate TV" wishlist though?

@CptKirk - Thanks very much, you answered my question; I just wondered how big a 16:9 display would have to be (complete with black bars) to get the same size 21:9 image as the Philips TV.

much more pressing will be what signal you have to give it - what are the pixel matching options - personally I think it will be a rehash of the zoom in the days of early wide-screen TVs. which looked awful ;-)

@DavidDB - I published a preview of the 21:9 back in January which goes into a little more detail about this... http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/news/2009/01/30/Philips-Unveils-21-9-Cinema-TV-In-UK/p1
