| the tv has great picture, sound, and looks.... yes the sticker gave me some problems, but goo gone takes care of that and a little bit of windex on a lint free cloth takes care of the residue on the screen.... also if you have a philips surround sound sometimes when I try to turn the surround sound on or off the remote controls the tv power instead.... just a minor inconvenience every now and then... overall the tv is excellent, no major drawbacks... |
Two Thumbs Up

This TV is the dogs bollocks! In the few weeks that I've had this TV I've tested a lot of its features. I've used the HDMI, USB, component, S-video, composite and antenna inputs, all of which produced good images for their respective formats.
I like the design because the high gloss black around the screen looks really cool. It's pretty thin and weighs about 60lbs. The fact that the screen swivels on a stationary base is helpful when you're plugging things into the back. The USB, composite and S-video inputs are all on the side so you don't need to move the screen for things that may be only connected temporarily.
The coolest thing about this TV is the USB port. I plugged in a flash drive with some digital camera images and was very impressed by how well they appeared on screen. This TV took my 6-megapixel digital camera images and made them look like I was watching HDTV. After using the USB port for pictures and MP3s, I wondered why it didn't also read video files.
The TV has an automatic mode that changes the aspect ratio according to what's on screen. This function can be useful when widescreen HD programs switch to full screen commercials. But this can be annoying when a program has a very dark shot with no light on the extreme sides of the screen. But this automatic function can be turned off, so it's no big deal. This also TV has 1:33, widescreen, zoom and superzoom aspect ratios.
It also produces pretty good sound. The HDMI inputs sound noticeably better than the (right/left) stereo inputs. I haven't used the digital coaxial output and I don't think many stereos today have a digital coaxial input.
This TV displays high def signals as well as any TV I've seen and I'd definitely recommend buying one of these. |
What an exceptional television

I have had this tv for 2 weeks and am totally satisfied with it. It was simple to set up, had it up and going in less than 15 minutes. Loved the fact that the first time I turned it on, a tutorial came on instantly to set it up. How simple! I purchased mine refurbished at an incredible price, and it came to me like brand new.... not a scratch on it!
The blacks on it are exceptional. I use an over the air Philips HD antenna with it and I am amazed with the quality. It looks like every bit of high quality that you see on display sets at high end electronic stores that use 1080p digital feeds to impress. |
Stunning Picture

| I purchased our Philips 37" HDTV as a demonstrator model off a Target shelf where it had been operating non-stop for 12 hours a day, every day for two years. Looking at the wall of HD TV models on display including Sony, Olevia, Magnavox, and others the Philips picture stood out as clearer, sharper, and more vivid. We've had it for two months now and it continues to provide stunning pictures and decent sound. An HDMI cable improved the picture only very slightly over standard 3-cable sets (possibly due to mediocre quality of cable provided signal). Best surprises - easy swivel stand, USB port, side mount inputs. Biggest disappointment - learning curve to disable automatic picture adjustments which disrupt viewing experience. This is our second HD TV - vastly superior to our previous Samsung, and I'd buy it again over a comparable Sony Bravia. |
