Or even watching the large number of films that aren't filmed in 2.40:1? If all you watch is big-budget blockbusters (2.40:1 is the aspect ratio of Panavision 70mm film), then this will be great for your rich-guy home theater.

But if you're thinking about watching HDTV (native aspect ratio of 16:9) or any of the many, many thousands of films shot in less-than-21:9, you'll have to throw some letterboxes on the side. You won't even get to enjoy those IMAX scenes from Dark Knight in their glorious full-frame beauty. But if you never take Iron Man out of your BD deck, this is the TV for you. Philips is looking at a Spring '09 release, with more details coming next month. [Philips via GadgetVenue]

A source tells someone's cousin who told her guitar instructor that a monitor refresh is coming in 2007, most likely being tied to Apple's iTV. Why sell just the computer, the router, and the video streamer when you can sell the TV/monitor too?

Another bit of iPhone news comes from an employee saying Apple's placed a hiring freeze, preemptively making room for the big rush of telecom managers it plans to hire for the launch.

Our rumor likelihood meter scores the hiring freeze/iPhone launch as an 8, and the 50-inch monitor as a 2. – Jason Chen

iPhone in January? And 50-inch Apple monitor [MacsimumNews]

Here's a CNet review of the big monitor vs its natural competitor, a 30-inch Dell Ultrasharp. It's really freaking long, but we've linked to the conclusion, and by the way, the Cinema display wins. Sorry, never could keep a secret.

The monitors still have respective resolutions of 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200, and 2560 x 1600. And if you've forgotten, the 30-incher only works with most PowerMacs, the Mac Pro, and the 17 and 15-inch laptops.– Brian Lam

Paradigm does a nice set of speakers, and these Cinema 220 and Cinema 330 Left/Right/Center models are no exception. Both include a more-powerful driver system, though the 330 takes on a different look, with two 4.5 ICP injection-molded co-polymer polypropylene bass/midrange cones and two 4.5 high-power polypropylene bass cones. The 220 features two 5.5 ICP injection-molded co-polymer polypropylene bass/midrange cones. More importantly, though the Cinema Series was created for smaller spaces; these models are both good for larger, more complex home theater rooms. You can also configure the systems for a 5.1 or 7.1 system by adding extra speakers. The 330 speakers will run you $300 each while the 220s are $200 each.
