Philips Cinema 21:9 TV Will Cost $7400 |

I'm not sure this is true. I'd bet there are more movies in 1.85:1 than 2.39:1 (or 2.35:1). Either way, unless you watched movies shot exclusively in that aspect ratio, you'd still have black bars pretty often. So Philips wants a 3x premium for not solving a problem. Am I missing something?

A 21:9 screen is a bad idea, because while it pretty much eliminates the black bars on top and bottom of a 2.35:1 movie, it requires black bars on the sides of everything that is not as wide. It is a fortunate coincidence that 16:9 is very close to 1.85:1 as well as being close to halfway between 2.35:1 and 1.33:1, which makes it a good compromise for viewing all ratios.
Furthermore, Blu-ray doesn't have "anamorphic 21:9" akin to the way DVD does 16:9. A 2.35:1 movie on Blu-ray has vertical resolution of about 800 pixels and the rest of the 1080 is black bars, and there is NOTHING this 21:9 monitor can do to improve that.

Yes, it is true that this TV does nothing about blu-ray movies not having anamorphic widescreen for 21:9 like DVD has for 16:9, but the article states that.

I heard you were in a bit of a spot, but I was unable to take your messages as I was out with the R&D department for a while; you understand. Well, I regret being unable to accommodate, but I can refer you to some of Best Buy's 19" examples. I hope this helps.
Love,
Philips Cinema 21:9.
