    You can set the background light of the TV to compliment the room's colours, nice idea if you ask me.

    Looks good in a still image, but how many movies actually stay the same kind of colour the whole way through? A bit of a gimmik if you ask me. It would be annoying if you had dark bits in a film (like you always do) and you had some stupid blue backlight on at the same time.

    I think its a good feature... whether or not it does something for colour perception on the TV is another matter - but it would look ace in a living room as some mood lighting.

    Lol it would take a few attempts if it were ever to be done correclty. In other words a whole load of customers blowing thousands on a tv with effects that were shit.

    I can't imagine coloured strobe tv will ever take off.

    It does..

    The colours change depending upon those used on screen..
    I think it mean't to create an experience where you feel you are no longer watching a tv but are actually in the environment you are watching.

    Some old black and white films are now available in colour thanks to new technology, but some purists still want to watch them in black and white.
