Philips AmbiLux UHD TV Adds Ambient Light Using Pico Projectors: Ambelievable

Posted on by

Nowadays you can emulate Philips’ Ambilight technology on different TVs or monitors using third–party or custom alternatives. The old Ambilight tech that is. The company recently unveiled an updated version of Ambilight that uses pico-projectors instead of LEDs.

The new system debuts in the AmbiLux, a 65″ 4K LCD TV with nine Ambilight pico-projectors at the back. The projectors are much better than the old Ambilights’ RGB LEDs because they also mimic the overall motion and shape of the objects on-screen, and not just their colors.

According to Gizmodo, you’ll be able to adjust the projectors’ output and sync them with Philips’ Hue lights. Since the AmbiLux is also a smart TV – based on the new Android TV OS – you can use the Ambilight to make a huge ass visual equalizer for your music, whether streaming or from USB.

Here’s a bit more on AmbiLux from What Hi-Fi?:

Philips says the AmbiLux will be released in Europe and Russia in the last quarter of this year.

Deal: Save 63% on the 1byone Digital Indoor HDTV Antenna

Posted on by

If you’ve decided to cut the cord and skip cable and satellite in favor of streaming services, you still can watch your local channels the old fashioned way – over the air. In fact, OTA HDTV digital signals are often better quality than the highly-compressed versions that get passed along by cable or satellite providers.

To receive OTA digital programming, all you need is a fairly recent model TV and a good HDTV antenna. The 1byone Digital Indoor HDTV Antenna is perfect for tuning in signals from transmitters up to 25 miles away, and works indoors. An extra long cable lets you place it in a window for the best signal, but it will also work high on a wall or on a table.

Grab the 1byone HDTV antenna over at the Technabob Shop now for just $12.99(USD), a savings of 63% off the MSRP.

LG 55″ 55EC9300 OLED TV: The Ultimate Gift for Dad

Posted on by

Looking for a really special gift to get Dad this year? I can think of nothing better than a really amazing new TV. What sets this LG set apart from the crowd is its impressive curved OLED panel. You see, OLED technology has major advantages over most flat-panels these days, which typically LCDs with LED backlighting.

The 55-inch LG 55EC9300 doesn’t just look beautiful from the outside, what with its incredibly thin, curved profile. What makes it so great is its amazing picture quality. Offering a full HD picture, the contrast, clarity and color rendition on this set is spectacular. That’s because each individual pixel of an OLED display is self-illuminating, which means there’s no backlight, and none of the image artifacts that come with that tech. OLED is also best for viewing off-angle, as it doesn’t lose brightness.

This set is also packed with other tech, including the LG’s webOS smart TV system, which lets you easily stream content from a variety of sources, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, and it even has a web browser. It also supports playback of 3D content.

The LG 55EC9300 sells for about $2999, though you might find it on sale for a few hundred dollars less if you search around. While OLED isn’t the cheapest display tech on the market, it’s definitely the best technology if you’re looking for the ultimate in picture quality. And doesn’t dear old dad deserve that?
