Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H/12

 

This 58in widescreen telly is one of the best LED LCD TVs we've ever reviewed.

Vibrant and well saturated colours ; Excellent sound quality ; Amazing picture quality

No Freeview HD tuner ; Crosstalk with 3D ; Slight haloing during off-axis viewing

Sure, the 58PFL9955H’s lack of a Freeview HD tuner is irritating, the work needed to get the best from it might seem intimidating, and the crosstalk with 3D (however minimal versus rival LCD sets) is definitely an area for Philips to work on for next...

Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H review

 

The second 21:9 LCD television from Philips certainly has some minor niggles, but for out and out wow factor it leads the field

Proportions look fantastic ; detailed images ; sounds decent ; solid build ; nice remote

Struggles with motion ; no HD tuner ; doesn’t handle movie subtitles well

There are minor niggles and images take a fair bit of tweaking, but for out and out wow factor, this Philips takes some beating

Philips Cinema 21:9 Platinum (58PFL9955H) review

 

Philips second-generation 21:9 TV adds 3D and LED backlighting

2D and 3D hi-def pictures ; Punchy, crisp audio ; Design ; Easy to use remote control ; Multimedia capabilities

No Freeview HD tuner ; Ambilight not suited to 3D ; Aspect ratio choices can confuse ; No 2D-3D conversion

Philips' first cinemascope (21:9) ratio TV sent shockwaves through the home entertainment universe when it launched in 2009. A TV that delivered widescreen movies without black bars at the bottom and top of the image was a daring step that helped...

Philips Cinema 21:9 56PFL9954H review

 

This Cinema 21:9 set looks absolutely stunning, but it's hard for it to justify its hefty price tag

Looks amazing ; packed with features ; huge picture ; detailed, colourful images ; handles motion well ; sounds above average

Misgivings over how the TV handles incoming signals ; cost

One of the coolest TVs we've come across for some time but it has some frustrating flaws

The Philips 56PFL9954H 21:9 is a super-wide, ultra chic and devastatingly effective 1080p LCD TV

Superb all-round performance ; Endless features ; Unique design

High price ; Occasional black issues

Superb design and top-class performance make for the ultimate super-wide movie machine

Philips 58PFL9955H Cinema 21:9 Platinum

 

Philips doesn't do things by halves. Designed primarily to rid Blu-ray movie transfers of those pesky black bars top and bottom, this uniquely (for now – LG demoed a very similar product behind closed doors at the recent CES) shaped TV increases the...

Full-screen CinemaScope movies, HD detail, contrast, black levels, colour, Ambilight, speakers, remote control

No Freeview HD, messy 3D, distorts some sources

Almost four grand gets almost the finished article, but this unique 21:9-shaped LED-studded screen is a specialist screen. With wow factor in spades, this 58-incher lacks a Freeview HD tuner or convincing 3D pictures, yet its jaw-dropping contrast and...

Over a year on, and Philips has launched the second version of its impressive 21:9 Cinema television at IFA 2010. Pocket-lint was on hand to have a look at the new model, and more importantly to see how it fares against the previous version. Should the...

No black bars, 3D sensor built in, superb picture quality

No Freeview HD, price, you might have to buy a bigger house
