What's Philips Ambilight?

Integrated into the edges of an Philips Ambilight TV you'll find rows of LED lamps. Televisions with Ambilight have 3-sided or 4-sided Ambilight. This means the TV lights up 3 or 4 edges. You can set up the TV's lamps via various modes. If you select the screen mode, the LED lamps light up in the colors of the screens. In music mode, the lighting moves along with the action on the screen. For example, the wall colors red from left to right when a red Ferrari races past on the screen.
