Philips LCD and Plasma TVs
Philips is making an impression on HDTV consumers with their interesting and innovative designs. Their "Ambilight" feature, which casts a glowing halo of light around the TV which corresponds to the current picture, may seem like a gimmick, but first-hand reports find it a useful and intriguing addition in a market where it can be hard to stand out.
