Philips presents the world’s first truly cinematic TV that perfectly matches the original 2.39:1 movie format. That means no more annoying black bars on this ultra widescreen TV. For the launch, they created a great microsite featuring a mini movie called “Carousel”, by Adam Berg and Stink Digital.

As explained in Publigeekaire, the website offers a “product experience” allowing users to compare how the new 21:9 format looks vs. the “traditional” 16:9.  It also let users try the “Ambilight” function.  On the other hand the users can “navigate” through the stop-motion video and discover different commentaries of directors on the perfect cinematic experience.

Following with the predictions for this year, here are the ones from LeoBurnett:

This is the add in which John Lennon appears digitally to support the “One Laptop Per Child” initiative. In this add Lennon says “Imagine if every child, no matter where in the world they were, could access a universe of knowledge,” the virtual Lennon says. “They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want. I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way.”
