Watching television is becoming an increasingly immersive experience - and it’s beginning to spill beyond the edges of your screen. With Philips’ Ambilight and AmbiLux technology, even your humble living room wall has become key to the action.
Here’s how it works: Philips Ambilight televisions project a ‘halo’ of colour and light onto the wall behind your set. That blends in with the picture on your screen, sharpening the viewing experience.
The next level is Philips AmbiLux: a system that features nine tiny pico projectors on the back of the television. These project moving colours onto your walls that broadly match what’s happening on your screen. The idea is that it expands the picture beyond the limits of your screen, creating a viewing experience that is more immersive, and more comfortable for your eyes.
It is, admittedly, the sort of technology that’s pretty hard to describe the true benefits of. The best way to grasp that is to see it in action: and we’ve got an exclusive chance for you to do just that.
Experience AmbiLux - and win
We’re hosting a special event for a select number of readers at a private venue in North London on Wednesday April 20, 2016. Those who attend will get the chance to experience the latest and most demanding movies, games, music and sport on Philips televisions, including a range of Ambilight models and the firm’s newest 65-inch, 4K UHD AmbiLux set.
It will be a laid-back, fun evening - and we’re evening throwing in some food and drink. And as an extra incentive, one person who attends will win a range-topping 65-inch AmbiLux UHD Philips television worth around £4000.
For a chance to be invited to the event, all you need to do is tell us what your favourite thing to watch on a high-end Ambilight or AmbiLux television would be. The big game? A top concert? Your favourite racing game? Or just the latest drama series? Tell us why - but please limit entries to 140 characters.
To enter, email: philipscomp@haymarket.com with your answer, along with your name, address, nationality and preferred contact details.
