Looks very nice, have been waiting for 12 months for this 2. generation 21:9. Money in the bank ready to buy.
But it seems Philips blew it this year, the front screen is reflective, even the specs on their web site states non-reflective. Also the 8000 states non-reflective, even its very reflective.

How can Philips expect us to pay 4.000 euro for a TV set which can only be used in dark rooms - even in a dark room lamps, candle lights etc will mirror in the picture, not to mention TV viewing during day time on a enormeous 58" reflective screen - what a dump !
Further it dosnt support full internet - why may we ask - TV seen on internet is hot now - what a dump of 4.000 euro.
I suppose we now have to wait another year till a 21:9 with proper specs and features will be available - hopefully from Sony or other manufacturer with better menues and software. I could live with bad menues and software - but adding reflective screen and no internet support for movies its just too many problems for 4.000 euro
The positive to say is - if the specs are reliable - that it includes HD DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S tuners.
