Folks with an eye for unusual design likely had their interest piqued by Samsung’s“Timeless Gallery” TV stand, but now a new Philips television is stepping into the living room limelight. Dubbed the Philips DesignLine, the rig hides an LCD display behind a seamless glass pane with a black to transparent gradient that supports itself by leaning against a wall. The TV operates at 1,400 Hz and packs a dual-core processor, WiFi and support for 3D (in 1080p, naturally) and MiraCast. In addition, the DesignLine boasts the firm’s Ambilight tech on three sides, which beams out lights matching the color of what’s displayed on screen. It’ll be available in in 46- and 55-inch flavors in Europe and Russia by way of TP Vision during Q2, but there’s no word on price or when it might travel overseas. Hit the jump to catch a video of it in action and watch its creators talk shop.
