So... What is Ambilight?
Basically, Ambilight is a special technology developed by Philips and I think only a handful of the high end Phillips LCD TVs use this technology. The Ambilight technology generates light around the LCD TV that correspond to the video content and hence creating better graphic and more immersive viewing experience. According to wikipedia, Philips even claims that the Ambilight technology can reduce eye strains.
So, what kind of Ambilight?
Do you know that Ambilight technology comes in many version? Most of the LCD TVs do not state what kind of Ambilight technology they are using.
Ambilight Mono or Ambilight 1 - same light effect at right and left, no light effect at top and bottom
Ambilight Stereo or Ambilight 2 - right and left have different light effect, no light effect at top and bottom
Ambilight Surround or Ambilight 3 - right, left and top have different lighting effects, bottom has no effect
Ambilight Full Surround or Ambilight 4 - right, left, top and bottom have different effects
Ambilight Spectra - the most powerful Ambilight technology developed by Phillips. But, the problem is... I can't see much difference.
