I put deep red lights behind my XBR5 - Blu-ray Forum

sweatermeatluv · 04-05-2008, 08:18 PM

My walls are texured blood red. I found DEEP red strip lights and mounted them about 2 inchs behind the clear border of the edge. Im bored so let me tell you more. The first big screen i had was a hitachi ultravision. It ate up alot of room. so i inverted it into the wall.By ripping a spare room wall out and redoing it. Gave me a 4 and a half space. So my speakers towers and everything else you cant see behind sheer black curtains. I made a very small base for the center with straight brackets so under the lcd it looks like the center is floating.The switch for the lighting is behind curtains. At night it makes the movies jump right out in your face.Sony should put this affect on there models. Trust me this looks great.

You have to take pictures, I am extremely interested to see what this looks like. Sounds like a great move.

DavePS3 · 04-10-2008, 06:40 PM

Should be yellow. the eye picks up a wider color spectrum if you backlight in yellow.

MouseRider · 04-13-2008, 06:58 AM

Might "look" great but using a colored light or for that matter, strongly colored walls are going to bias your color perception of the picture on your screen.

As mentioned before, the correct lighting is always a neutral light source, ideally at D6500, behind a "light projecting" display.

Agreed, nothing wrong having philips with amblight tv, its people's choice and the lights behind can be convincing.

Would nice to have amblight option for every tv. Yes i got to agree, XBR is best, no arguement but people has their choice. I have 42" 1080i Philips w amblight, my wife and I brought it almost a year and half ago. XBR5 will be my next choice unless miracle happens,bigger OLED tv price drop fast

I was told, that amblight take some pq quality from tv if its turned on. Dont know if this is a fact or not. anyone can confirm this? My wife require to use relaxed mode when we watch movies, it wont hurt our eyes watching in dark and it sets our mood to watch movies.
