Phillips Has The World’s First 21:9 LCD HDTV

2009 January 15

posted by No_Style at 7:38 PM

Want the true home cinema experience? Look no further than Phillips and their brand new 21:9 LCD HDTV. According to them, it’s the world’s first cinema-proportioned LCD HDTV which means no more black bars for movies! Needless to say it’s ridiculously wide and annoying for every other piece of media outside of the 21:9 aspect ratio.

So the choice is yours: black bars for movies? Or black bars for everything else? There’s a reason why they chose 16:9, you know.

Checkpoint: Blu-ray Movies Galore Edition

I just finished off my disapproving preview of the PlayStation Home. It really is irrelevant as it stands right now. Now I’m listening to the latest episode of 1UP Yours. So instead of entertaining thoughts of Sony’s relatively poor sales, let’s talk about Blu-ray movies and my growing collection of unwatched movies!

  • Band of Brothers
  • The Dark Knight
  • Wall-E
  • The Godfather

I want to watch it all and no better time to start than this upcoming holiday break. My Blu-ray collection has grown quite a bit and I’ve begun to stack them. I need a new shelf or something. If anyone has recommendations for storing all this stuff, please let me know!

Sony’s Columbia Pictures Blocks Movies From NXE’s Netflix Streaming

If I was an American and was a fan of streaming movies from the net, I would be somewhat upset over the fact that Sony’s Columbia Pictures is blocking its movies from being streamed through the New Xbox Experience’s NetFlix functionality.

Is Sony just being petty? Not completely. Apparently, it’s a valid licensing issue involving just the streaming of movies via the Xbox 360. NetFlix is working with Columbia Pictures in resolving this issue so it’s not worth posting rants over. Just sit back, relax and think about what your Avatar is going to wear tomorrow.

Live Action Professor Layton Movies Coming & More

The first Professor Layton by Level 5 was a charming little puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. I enjoyed it. I could see the animated cutscenes becoming a full fledged anime series, but not live action movies.

Looks like Level 5 is stepping their product and services output with a handful of new Japanese games and a new “virtual platform” service called ROID (Revolutionary Original Ideas Discovery). I honestly could not figure out how this service is going to work. For more details and elaboration on all of this, head over to 1UP’s news post.

Oh snap. More non-E3 news? I just can’t help myself. Anyways, the fourth installment of the Terminator franchise is coming starring Mr. New Batman himself, Christian Bale. It looks good.
