Philips has made the Cinema 21:9 models considerably slimmer, made possible with LED backlighting that also lowers power consumption. Ambilight has not been forgotten and Philips has built in the Spectre 3 variant where both sides and the top of the TV are being illuminated. NET TV Internet functionality is naturally available and Philips also mentions Multi-View where users can divide the screen into two sections. Lastly, Philips highlights the Two-Player Full-screen gaming function (learn more here), where two players can play games in full-screen, from two different perspectives, on the same TV.
