" LAS VEGAS \u2014 CES 2007 press conferences should really come with popcorn because it&amp;#039;s all 1080p TVs with surround sound, all the time. Philips used clips from the Fantastic Four (not, not the Queen, this is a sci-fi crowd) to show off its home-entertainment offerings, including 30 new ambilight LCD models, which have improved image processing. Mentioned in passing was the fact that the backlighting comes from LEDs. These ultra-efficient lights are taking over the world, in case you didn&amp;#039;t know already, and while there are some picture advantages, what&amp;#039;s really cool (to me, at least) is the energy efficiency. (LCDs were already highly efficient compared to old CRTs and plasmas.) There are new 32-in., 47-in., and\u2014first for Philips\u201452-in. versions.  Philips&amp;#039;s home media junkie offerings include ambisound, a sleek and space-efficient surround-system, and a gaming system called amBX that is like scratch-and-sniff on steroids. Two desk fans, satellite speakers with built-in lights, a &amp;quot;wrist rumbler&amp;quot; and subwoofer give you an in-the-face gaming experience\u2014assuming that the games have been coded for it. (Flame thrower and rubber bullets not included, for now, at least.)  Coming in the second half of &amp;#039;07 from Philips is wireless HDMI, which will stream uncompressed media up to 25 feet. Besides getting rid of some of the spaghetti-bowl of cables that are taking over the American home, this will allow you to place your media components whereever you want in a room\u2014you can finally ditch the ugly Home Depot TV stand in the corner. Philips is the first on the market with wireless HDMI, but believe us, people, it&amp;#039;s the future. \u2013Jerry Beilinson    Philips HD FlatTV with Ambilight Full Surround (CLICK TO ENLARGE) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
