Philips intros new Ambilight HDTVs, speakers and other AV wares

Philips ain’t much for introducing new gear here on US soil, but for those fortunate enough to buy their milk with Euros, the company has a cornucopiaof new kit to tempt you with. It seems as if the company chose to skip right over CES and do its own thing here in late February, with the “2010 Consumer Lifestyle” event bringing to us a refreshed lineup of LED-backlit Ambilight HDTVs (7000, 8000 and 9000 series), a new Immersive Sound home theater system (with tri-speaker satellites) and the aluminum-tinged Soundbar HTS9140. We’re also told that the new line of 8000 and 9000 LED 1080p TVs are 3D capable, with a “3D upgrade pack” to be made available separately and include two Active3D glasses and a wireless transmitter. In related news, that now-forgotten Cinema 21:9 set — which was supposed to ship many moon ago — now has a “summer 2010″ estimated arrival date on it, though we certainly aren’t holding our breath just yet. Hit the source link for all the other goods, but don’t expect to find much in the way of pricing and availability.
