Philips 50-inch Plasma HDTV with Ambilight
If you haven’t heard by now, flat, hang-on-your-wall TVs are an almost must have when it comes to gadgetry status. Philips decided to take this phenomena one step further with their Ambilight technology that emits a glow around the sides of the TV, the color of which always matches what’s on the TV. The 50PF9966 50" Plasma HDTV from Philips ($4,500) features Ambilight, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, and a native resolution of 1366 x 768 — more than enough to make your bootlegged Star Wars Episode III DVD look good.
