Excellent Picture, Excellent Design, Excellent Price

I purchased this TV two months ago at a popular warehouse retail store. I had spent one month researching and shopping around. At the start of my research, I was leaning toward a 42" Plasma. Throughout my research process I determined that the LCD technology was equal to, and probably surpassing the plasmas. I decided to switch gears and only focus on LCD's. I had also been told by MANY of my peers that, "whatever size you are thinking about, go one higher assuming you have the space." I took their advice, and have not been disappointed.

My ultimate decision to purchase this Phillips model was in large part due to the cost; however I spent a considerable amount of time in the store fine tuning the picture on the floor model to make sure that I could achieve results that I was looking for. I found that within a short amount of time I could get the picture to look at least as good as all the other floor models, and better than the majority of them. The menus are not as easy to navigate through, as some other brands, but I see this as a non-factor. Once I set up the picture and programmed my favorite stations, it's simple to use.

I'm an Architect so overall set design was also important to me. I have to say that the Phillips, by far, was the best TV to look at, regardless of it being turned on. The TV stand, is very geometric, and constructed out of simple materials, without plastics. In my opinion the set would fit very well in any "contemporary" room. I recently hung mine on the wall with a peerless, tilting, wall mount, and concealed the cables. I'm slightly sad that I had to moth-ball the stand, however now the room looks like it has another piece of art on the wall. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. A great way to spend the Tax Return!!!

Returned this for a samsung

Ok, let me start by saying I've never written a review before - but owning this TV compelled me to let you all know what to expect. I regretted buying this thing within a few hours of owning it. I bought it at another vendor and had 90 days to return it, so I stuck with it for about 2 months while I searched for a better TV, which ended up being the SAMSUNG 46" LNT4661F - which I'm VERY happy with.

I was replacing my plasma with an LCD because I started playing too many games and was starting to see some burn-in. So off to Store X to buy an lcd... And this Phillips looked good on display - and the price was right...

Ok... I'll give some pros:
1. HD looks pretty good - it's really not bad. Decent blacks, etc. If you are playing HD content and don't care about standard def, then you'll probably be ok.

2. It DOES do 1080p - and over component. I played my xbox 360 on it in 1080p mode over component. I don't know what some of these people were complaining about - either an old firmware or they don't know what the heck they are doing.

3. Inexpensive compared to some others.

4. The "remote insensitivity" thing someone mentioned was NOT an issue. The tv responds to the remote within seconds of turning on the TV.

Now my list of cons.

1. It's dim - I mean DIM. I had it cranked all the way up on the brightness and still - pretty dull. No amount of settings tweaking is going to help you get this thing brighter or more clear. I went on the forums and got people's "stellar settings" and they still were marginal at best. Better have a nice dark room. It's not unwatchable DIM, but you'll see what I mean when you start maxing out brigthness and go "wait - that's it?"

2. Standard Def looks TERRIBLE. I had a plasma before, and it looked fine. We all know SD won't look stunning, but jeez is looks god-awful on this thing. And when all the news (cnn, foxnews) is still in SD for the foreseeable future - you are gonna probably be watching SD at some point or another. Fuzzy and dim...

3. Random brightness changes. I'd be in the DVR menu for my cable box and select which program to watch, and a second later *bink* the brightness just changes to a little bit dimmer. I had turned off any "helper" features and any automated fixer-uppers - so why it was still automating stuff was very irritating. I don't remember this ever happening with HD content - and it would only seem to happen when I left my DVR menu - but I wouldn't want to find out later this is some known bug.

4. Viewing angle is poor. I'd move to the side and this thing got very dark in a hurry. Thought that was just an LCD thing until the new samsung I bought soon after looked fine at other angles.

5. Fuzzy picture on the xbox 360 (over component) during some stuff. I noticed the graphics on call of duty 4 during their loading phase were much more fuzzy than they had been on my plasma. However, while in-game I didn't seem to notice anything different. Also, the xbox dashboard and the "signed into xbox" things were always very fuzzy. I noticed that when I put my new Samsung LCD into "game mode" I got the same effect. It looks like the phillips is permanently stuck in that "game mode" for whatever reason - guess they want less ghosting or something. BTW, the samsung functions great for games without the "game mode" thing. I don't see any ghosting - but maybe I'm not looking closely enough.

So what I did...

I took this back got a SAMSUNG 46" LNT4661F. Wow! No kidding - night and day difference. Bright, I mean at 80% of brightness this thing was brigther than the brightest setting on the philips. Colors are vivid - especially in standard def. I'm not some weird tv viewer guy that has to have brightness and colors cranked up - which might be what you're thinking. No, they just pop out at you. The samsung has a great viewing angle as well. And very important to me - the Standard def looks fantastic - even when stretched across the screen to remove bars. HD looks great, of course. I'm not affiliated or selling samsung - just letting you know how happy I am with it.

So I know you're saying "well, sure the samsung is way more expensive - of course it's better." Well, sort of. It can be up to 400-500 more - but I had time to shop around - and ended up getting it for 100 bucks more than the phillips. If you can wait - wait for a great deal on a samsung - might take you 3-4 weeks but it's worth it. I did it online - which I was very paranoid about. No problems, no dead pixels, no DOA. They are on a truck all the time, whether that truck goes to any merchant or your house, it's probably gonna get there in one piece.

Bottom line. I'll never buy another phillips tv. If you can afford it, go with a samsung lcd.

Good screen with limited control

Do not let the three-star review concern you too much, I am pleased with this television purchase. However, the picture quality, clarity, and color saturation are not great but still a good value at the price. Similarly, the sound control is nightmarish. Anyone using this screen for television watching is advised to keep the set permanently muted and to wire the sound through ANY other speaker you can find. All in all, this is an average screen at a somewhat below average price. I would recommend this as a nice step into flat screen technology for those who aren't looking to drop the additional hundreds/thousands for a Samsung or Pioneer set but still want the improvements in television technology.

Nice Set

I purchased this set for $499 at Sam's Club and it appears that I got a good deal. The picture is ultra crisp and the set itself looks great. My only complaint is there are no front mount speakers. The speakers run along the top. Because we were replacing an old television set, this will go into a cabinet. Because of the way the sound is, it gives a slight muffled sound, like its in a tunnel. We have mostly resolved it my moving the set all the way to the front. It's not perfect, but improved.

I also don't like the way the menu stays on for 3 seconds or so when you change the channel. It is useful the 1 time out of 100 that you want to know what is on that channel, but if you are channel surfing it is annoying.

My negative comments aside, I was very happy with the set. It is such a huge improvement from my old television I feel like I've gone from the stone age to the space age.

A Very "Hawt" HDTV

I really like this TV. I got this Model instead of the 32PFL5403D/27. But this one has 4 HDMI inputs, the models i wanted has 2 HDMI inputs. Also it has 8ms response time, the other model had 4ms. But i really like this TV. Its an extremely attracting TV. Everyone complements on it's style. It's picture quality is great too, I use this TV for my PS3. The TV is very light weight, which is good. The remote is also light weight lol. The Tv can swirl left to right,which is good but not up and down. The surround is very loud on sound effects when turned on. But the speaking volume stays the same. The only thing i don't like, is that i have to clean the bezel around the screen, because it attracts dust very fast, i don't know why. But don't get me wrong i just clean it will cloth and it reflects so well as the picture, very clean and shiny.

Overall i wouldn't of preferred any other Tv.
EDIT: After 3months and 1 week, the tv screen scrambled and after so many tries it was concluded that the panel was faulty, and was advised to buy a new tv rather than spend $800 to fix it. My best advice is get extra warranty or buy in store, do no rely on the default 3 month warranty like i did. i actually ordered the 32pfl5403d/27 but was given this; 32pfl5403d/F7, whatever.

Terrible! Do not buy - Stopped working after two years

As many other reviewers have noted, the TV was working fine for a year and then started turning itself on and off and making this high-pitched horrible noise everytime it was turned on. The TV would also freeze up in the process.

We also bought a TV/DVD combo (3340V/17) from Philips and the same issue occured. The combo would randomly turn itself on and off and would open and close the DVD holder multiple times before playing. These are terrible products! When I called Philips regarding the issue, the company would not fix it because the one-year warranty had passed. We are now responsible for paying out of pocket for repairs. Given the same consistent issue reported by other users, it is more than likely that there is a defect with these devices.

Don't buy Philips

We bought this TV a little more than a year ago for our bedroom. It's worked well up until 3 months ago when we started having problems that many, many others seem to have with Philips TVs (just do a search). When you first turn it on, the sound is terrible - sounds like static and popping. After 20 minutes, the sound is better, but still not clear as it used to be. Additionally, there is a static popping sound that comes occasionally from the back of the TV and it will turn itself off. The only way to get it to come back on is to unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in. Philips support is basically non-existent. Save your money and the environment by buying something that will last more than one year!!

PIECE OF JUNK

Worked fine for about 18 months and then began having the same problem as so many others have experienced with this model. Upon turning on the set, it began emitting an ear-splitting screeching noise and shutting itself off and on again, over and over, all the while making the nearly unbearable noise. The repair (faulty power board) is as costly as a brand new set. Infuriating that Philips does nothing about this -- these televisions should be recalled.

No Clue what the others are talking about

I bought my TV in the spring of 2007. 2 and a half years later, mine still works as good as the day I bought it. The only problem I've had with it is that the "Phillips" letters started falling off a week after I bought it, and now instead of saying "PHILLIPS" it now reads "ILIP," not really something that has anything to do with the quality of the TV. The HD picture is superb, Blu-ray movies look spectacular, and PS3 games look amazing. The sound quality is still good. Maybe I just got lucky, but as I said, my TV is still as good as the day I bought it.

This HDTV should be recalled

I got this at a great deal in a store around the holidays of 07. I played it smart and registered for the 2 year warranty threw Philips. 2 years and 2 months after i bought this TV it died. The TV first started to go black and randomly turn on and off. Some time after that it would occassionally let out a high pitched screetching sound out of its speakers and shut off. After unplugging it and replugging it back in i would get it to work for a short time when the problem would occur again.

Finally i contact Philips and they said that this models was no longer under warranty and couldn't be replaced or fixed. They suggested to me to take it to a local repair shop to get it fixed...

After doing research online i discovered that im not the only one with this problem. Apparently soon after warranty for many people the TV died. This problem is caused by a faulty part in the TV's motherboard that causes it to fry it completely. The average repair cost i saw online was $200+ which doesn't include labor. So for the first time in my entire life i had to throw away a TV.

If you google this model you will find similar storys and you will wonder why wasn't this model recalled. There is a none defect in this product and Philips refuses to acknowledge it. After this experience i will never buy another HDTV from Philips again. Steer clear of this TV.

This Energy Star-qualified 720p model is only 2.7 inches deep without its detachable stand, so it can provide high-definition picture quality without taking up much room. The tuner can receive conventional analog channels (NTSC), as well as digital channels (ATSC), including over-the-air HDTV broadcasts where available and unscrambled digital cable channels. Two HDMI inputs and a variety of other inputs make it simple to connect DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, or even a computer.
