I do have to credit Phillips with the ambient light idea.
Even though the PQ was terrible it was a good idea.
You could say Samsung sort of took from that on the ToC design & Sony with optional speaker grills.

But still a 9 series is way more elegant then that design, as much as I love that color.

Seriously though? 9 Series/XBR 8 or that? Maybe if they come out with a 40" thats $1800. LOL]]>Aug 21st 2008 3:18PM
