Empezamos a tener noticias de lo que se podrá ver en el IFA de Berlín que comienza a finales de este mes.

Entre otras novedades parece ser que se podrá ver el nuevo diseño-concepto de Philips para los LCD. Se trata de un modelo de 42", con aproximadamente 3 cm. de espesor y que tiene como curiosidad, que no como novedad, el tener parte de la electrónica en una "caja" separada, que se conectaría con el panel por un solo cable. Esto permitiría una mejora en la conectividad, todo se conectaría con la "caja" dichosa y esto sería especialmente indicado para paneles colgados. Una duda que se me plantea es si se permitiría cambiar de hard en esa cajita... se podrían actualizar componentes? Sustituir la electrónica sin cambiar el panel?




Philips will launch a 38mm ultra-slim, ultra-light TV which has its picture processing electronics housed in a separate hub at IFA in Germany, Pocket-lint has learnt.

The new television, which will be called Essence, will sport a 42-inch screen and be able to be hung the wall like a picture, probably in a similar way to Sony's Picture Frame range of televisions.

According to our un-named source, which we got via our contact form, the "Frame", rather than use the wireless HDMI connectivity touted by Philips in the past, be connected to the box of gubbins by a single cable.

However, it means you've now got to find somewhere for the box of tricks.

No details on screen quality however we would expect it to use the recently announced 9000 panel from Philips.

Philips has already announced that it will be officially launching the 2nd generation Aurea at the show.

Pocket-lint will be covering IFA in Germany from the 27 August.

We have just received a tip about a new LCD HDTV from Philips that should hopefully gain a fair amount of attention when it’s announced at this years IFA. The new HDTV (or range we assume) will be called the Philips Essence. The Essence LCD will have a 42-inch screen size and ultra light and ultra thin at just 38mm thickness. It’s ultra thinness has been achieved by moving out much of the picture processing electronics to a separate box or “hub” and connected to the HDTV by a single cable. We have seen this approached used before by Pioneer, and it seemed popular.
We haven’t seem anything particularity exciting from Philips recently, so we hope to see something special in a couple of weeks time at IFA in Germany. At the last technology show, CES 08, Philips won an award for their low power eco HDTV. I’m personally hoping for something that will excite the A/V fans rather than the Eco fans.
The Philips Essence HDTV will be able to be wall mounted like a picture frame, and have a feature similar to the latest Sony’s where Photos or art work can be shown when the set is not being used.
Currently that is all the information we have on the Philips Essence LCD, but as more information is announced at IFA, we will keep you upto date on the Essence, along with everything else HDTV. We are also expecting to see the Philips Aurea second generation.

Es un concepto sumamente interesante. Veremos que características y que opciones permite.
Personalmente, y viendo la fotografía, me alegra comprobar que por fin se tiende en Philips a marcos estrechos para la pantalla, además de que el fondo del panel sea del tipo slim que tanto parece que vamos a empezar a ver.
