Do Philips actually make thier own LCDs? My guess is that panel will be available to several manufacturers.

To even ask if Philips makes their own LCD panels is forgetting that being a pioneer of TVs with this aspect ratio takes just that, a large manufacturer that has such capability. There's only a few manufacturers that could pull off such a feat.

Wow! I might have upgrade my living room TV earlier than I thought! Was holding out for QHD but this will work!

Seamless near Triple wide and Cinema HD is a big win for gaming and movie buffs like me!

Something like this could be a convenient way to circumvent the need for a TH but then you would lose the tilt of the outer monitors that I am sure is somewhat needed when sitting close and trying to play in surround.

But as an exotic product when/if its out to buy I am sure it cost more than what its worth.

The catch 22 of ultra wide LCD gaming displays is you have to sit far enough away to avoid seeing the sides at too wide a viewing angle, and I doubt they'll be made with IPS type panels. So the angling of the outer two displays in a TH arrangement is indeed necessary, but the bezels are quite obtrusive.

Hence my question. Looks like LG makes the LCD for Philips.

It was originally formed as a joint venture by the Korean electronics company LG Electronics and the Dutch company Koninklijke Philips Electronics in 1999 to manufacture active matrix liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and was formerly known as LG.Philips LCD but Philips sold most of its shares in the venture, now accounting to 13.2%.[3] LG Electronics is the largest shareholder, with a 37.9% share in the venture and the company's name was changed to LG Display to reflect this change.
