Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H/12

This 58in widescreen telly is one of the best LED LCD TVs we've ever reviewed.

Vibrant and well saturated colours ; Excellent sound quality ; Amazing picture quality

No Freeview HD tuner ; Crosstalk with 3D ; Slight haloing during off-axis viewing

Sure, the 58PFL9955H’s lack of a Freeview HD tuner is irritating, the work needed to get the best from it might seem intimidating, and the crosstalk with 3D (however minimal versus rival LCD sets) is definitely an area for Philips to work on for next...

Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H review

The second 21:9 LCD television from Philips certainly has some minor niggles, but for out and out wow factor it leads the field

Proportions look fantastic ; detailed images ; sounds decent ; solid build ; nice remote

Struggles with motion ; no HD tuner ; doesn’t handle movie subtitles well

There are minor niggles and images take a fair bit of tweaking, but for out and out wow factor, this Philips takes some beating

Philips Cinema 21:9 Platinum (58PFL9955H) review

Philips second-generation 21:9 TV adds 3D and LED backlighting

2D and 3D hi-def pictures ; Punchy, crisp audio ; Design ; Easy to use remote control ; Multimedia capabilities

No Freeview HD tuner ; Ambilight not suited to 3D ; Aspect ratio choices can confuse ; No 2D-3D conversion

Philips' first cinemascope (21:9) ratio TV sent shockwaves through the home entertainment universe when it launched in 2009. A TV that delivered widescreen movies without black bars at the bottom and top of the image was a daring step that helped...
