I love when idiots start spouting off about something that they know absolutely nothing about. Have you ever seen a Philips TV in person? Have you ever seen Ambilight in a home setting at night (not in a store)? If not then you should keep your ignorant comments to yourself and stick to what you know (which probably isn't much).
While Philips does have some issues with contrast and artifacts in dark scenes, generally speaking the picture is pretty decent. However, their Ambilight feature is the real deal. I never want to go back to watching TV without it. The depth enhancement is real. And the fact that you can watch TV in a dark room, with no other lights on, and not strain your eyes like you would without Ambilight, is totally kick-a$$.
And while you can create an ambient lighting situation by just putting a lamp behind the TV, that doesn't even hold a candle to Philips' feature because Ambilight automatically adjusts the light level of Ambilight to match what's going on onscreen, and it changes color to match what's onscreen as well so the ambient lighting effect is dynamic, unlike a lamp which puts out constant, harsh white light.
The Ambilight system rocks and if you've never seen it in real life and you make comments bashing things that you know nothing about, then all you've done is made yourself look like an idiot. Good job.
