Anxious not to miss out on the potential bonanza that is 3D TV, Philips have revealed details of their 9000 and 8000 series 3D enabled LCD TV's which also feature LED backlighting.

Philips will be using 'Active Shutter' technology for all of their 3D enabled LCD TV's. Special 3D glasses will be offered as optional extras or as part of bundled packages when the new screens launch this June.

Philips has also confirmed that there will also be a 3D-ready version of their impressive 'cinema proportioned' Philips Cinema 21:9 TV later this year.

The 9000 series also feature 'LED Pro', a more sophisticated implementation of LED backlighting with independently controlled light clusters behind the whole of the screen rather than around its edge.

With over 75% more LED's than previous models, the 9000 incorporates over 1000 diodes within 225 independently operated LED sections which offer more precise on screen picture control.

Elsewhere the 9000 features 400Hz frame refresh and will be Wi-Fi capable (optional dongle available). The 200Hz 8000 series and 100Hz 7000 series feature an Edge based implementation of LED backlighting. All of the new screens will feature various implementations of Philips' Ambilight system, which projects light from the screen edge.

Philips have not given any indication of prices as yet. The new screens will be available in the UK this June.
