The new 3D Cinema 21:9 supports 3D and builds on the philosophy to provide the “ultimate cinematic viewing experience”, according to Philips. In this quest 3D is an important factor.

Philips will incorporate the same 3D technology that most other flat panel TV manufacturers are using. The 3D system is called frame sequential and provides different pictures for the left and right eye in Full HD resolution. The 3D effect requires active 3D shutter glasses.
