فیلیپس ، اولین تلویزیون خمیده اندرویدی جهان را به IFA 2014 آورد

Philips has finally joined the curved tele fray at IFA with its brand new Philips 8900, the first bendy screen to run on Android. The 55-inch (139cm) screen offers 4K ultra high definition visuals, and will run on Google’s own operating system (4.2.2 Jelly Bean). This means the tele will have access to the smorgasbord of apps, games, content, and goodies on offer from the Google Play Store – 1.6GB of built-in storage has been added for just that. There’s a dedicated remote control, of course, which touts a full keyboard on the rear for easy-peasy typing. The TV also operates gesture controls through an integrated camera, which means you can wave your danglers about madly and not feel like a certified loony… So let’s talk video quality. The new screen uses Philips’ Perfect Motion Rate Ultra and Ultra Resolution tech to ensure ‘superb motion sharpness’. Philips says its Local Contrast feature will improve the screen’s contrast, alongside Micro Dimming Pro which changes the backlight levels to match ambient room lighting. Clever. There’s also 3-sided Ambilight, which basically means the sides of the 8900 will glow different colours depending on the core hues of whatever’s happening on your screen at any given time. Philips reckons its most recent upgrades to Ambilight mean it can now follow really fast moving scenes, for example in action movies or games. Connectivity comes courtesy of 4 HDMI ports, 3 USB ports, 1 YPbPr port, dual-band WiFi, an Ethernet port, and the usual AV fare. The TV looks pretty sweet in terms of design too, with a strong curved look, a new ‘ribbon stand’, and a chrome-finished chassis. Philips’ 8900 curved TV will be landing in Q3 this year, and will be available in Europe and Russia.
