Very happy with this TV I have only had it now for 2 days. It is a the best LCD TV I have watched. Even 480i SD looks stunning thanks to the perfect pixel HD engine in this beast. The only con I can say so far is when an Ipod is hooked up it is very hard to pick out the songs. and I havent figured out playlists. But its a small objection compared to the tons of pluses of this TV. I have gotten tons of compliments on it from every friend that has seen it which is cool. I really am impressed in this TV.
Very nice TV

Pros:
Great picture and sound with the speakers that are with the TV. I use my own surround sound system right now though. It has enough input ports for all of my Gaming systems, (Xbox 360, PS2, Wii.) I get full 1080P with just my Component Cable with my Xbox 360 and the picture is great no problems with the action looking jumpy.
Cons:
Only con that I have so far is that it does not come with a normal analog stereo out connection. My surround sound system only uses analog stereo connection and this TV only has 1 coax Digital out.
Awesome TV, couldn't ask for more!

Reviewer: Michael G. Mccardle,
I purchased this TV at Sam's last week, it compared very well in features to other TVs for a lot less $$, I paid $997. With 2 ms response time, pixel perfect engine, and 120hz you can't ask more for your money. The remote is super intuitive, I got bonus points from the wife for that :) It takes you through a neat setup the first time you plug it in to find your contrast brightness preferences and creates a "personal" setting for you. The thin glass frame around the set gives it a perfect frame against any wall.
One very important feature we were looking for was an anti reflective screen. Our living room has a wall of windows so we needed something with low glare, this TV is perfect for that! We looked kind of funny going down the aisle with a flash light but you would be surpised at how many LCD's have a lot of reflection.
Overall this is an awesome TV, with all the right features. I only had to turn one off call "Digital Natural Motion", which makes everything look like a home movie (30FPS vs 24 FPS). This feature might do well for nature programs or something, but for movies I prefer the movie "look" with the slower framerate.
Amazon advertises a "newer" version of this TV, but I did some research on Philip's website and I can't find any difference between this one (/27) and the newer one (/F7) besides that it will work in USA and Europe.
It is hard to quit looking at it!

When I am watching this beautiful display it is hard to stop. That is what sold me on it when I first saw it in Sam's Club after 3 days of shopping all of the local sources where I could view operating TV's. It was among about 15 or 20 TV's in Sam's and when I saw it I just stopped and stared. I told my wife that it has to be very expensive. It wasn't. It was better than any other display in the store by far, nothing was even close. Plus the 120 HZ refresh is a big improvement in smoothing video. We raced home to look up reviews and was so impressed with them that I raced back to the store hoping that it was still there. It was. I bought it. I'm still happy and it has been about a year now. The menu system and setup is very intuitive and automated. I am an experienced photographer of 42 years and have the latest HP HDX 18.5" hi-def laptop to edit my work. I love doing so on this TV because the picture is so incredible. Heck of a job Philips!

Excellant Picture Quality, So So Onscreen Control, Poor Remote Button Layout...

I've purchased this TV in early August and the picture quality can't be beat in my opinion. On the other hand, the on screen controls don't measure up. For example, type in a channel number and you'll see a number that can't be much larger than one inch square show up on the screen camouflaged among the current TV picture, then once the channel changes, huge bars cover a large potion of the screen displaying all the program info; looking like a huge horizontal bar chart. The remote while complete and intuitive is not laid out well nor is it ergonomically shaped.

Since it is a TV the picture quality is my highest priority and I'm very happy about that, but I would have thought Philips/Magnovox would have had a better handle on the design of the on screen documentation and remote layout.
