Just when the U.S. was getting used to 16:9 televisions, Phillips is showing off its new 56-inch 21:9 aspect ratio LCD television. If the numbers mean nothing to you, it just means really, really wide-screen television. The first number is the width, the second is the height (width:height).

HDTV is in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Not many movies are in built for that. That’s why you’ll still see black bars on the top and bottom of video even on widescreen televisions. Phillips’ super widescreen will eliminate some of those lines. Sounds like a great idea to watch movies. The only problem? Video formatted for HDTV will have black bars on the left and right of the picture.

It would appear that the in word at the moment is ‘Blu’ as yet another product with the prefix of Blu emerges, this time in the genre of health. The goLITE BLU is essentially advanced light therapy to fight against S.A.D. (seasonal defective disorder) as well as the general winter depression.

Surprisingly, though this is not made by Sony, rather by Phillips who appear to have hijacked the poorly spelled color in their product name. Beneath the fancy wording and scientific explanations is the fact the device is an alarm clock that uses new light technology (yes you guessed it, blue light) to sight against S.A.D.
