No word on pricing just yet but this is a DroidHorizon first. I don’t think we’ve ever written any content on actual TVs before but the Philips 8800 series caught my attention in a big way and it’s too awesome not to share..
Also featuring gesture control features that you’d be familiar with on the XBox One or Kinect. You can change the channel or volume with pre-defined gestures or use your phone or tablet via the Philips TV Remote application. Featuring Miracast technology to share between TV and device, the Philips 8800 series would likely sale for just under £3000 GBP. Probably too expensive though for the average working man, we can dream, right?
