The Philips Essence is a television that is only 38 millimeters thick. It has a 100Hz display that provides a 2 millisecond response time. At only 36 pounds, it is ideal for wall mounting and even includes a self-leveling mounting kit so you won’t need to venture into Home Depot.

A single cable connects the display to the media hub, providing power, audio and video.  The sound bar (note the lower case) can be removed to connect to an existing home theater system, like the Philips SoundBar (note the upper case).
