Philips wants to use the upcoming IFA 2009 fair in Berlin to present the third generation of their ultimate Ambilight television: Aurea. 

Our Danish site, FlatpanelsDK, did a review on the first version of Philips Aurea some time ago. Since then, Philips introduced Aurea 2 and now the third generation of Aurea is coming. Philips will reveal the new Aurea TV at IFA 2009 in Berlin in September 2009.
