Question : Should I buy a Philips 1080p LCD TV?
There's a 42" Philips 1080p LCD TV on Woot for $750. Should I buy it? It also says that it's recertified. What should I do? I've heard so much bad stuff about Philips but I really don't know. I've never had a Philips TV before. HELP! Thanks
Answer:
Of the big name brand TV manufacturers, Philips/Magnavox (same mfg.) is at the bottom of the barrel in quality. Way too many consumer complaints. And a 'refurbished' just adds to the potential of problems. Stay away!In 40"-42" LCD, look at Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, and Samsung, kind of in that order, for some acceptable degree of quality. Reliability (and some performance) falls off too rapidly after these brands. Another possibility for very high quality, with reasonable price is the 720p/1080i Panasonic Viera 42" plasma. check it out.

Question : i have a philips lcd tv that half the screen is black and other half is dim it also flickers whats wrong?
the sound works fine but the screen is very dim and flickering the left side is almost completely black the tv isnt even 2 years old any suggestions to what the problem is?
Answer:
It sounds like problems with your TV's backlight circuitry. I suggest taking it to a authorized service center and getting an estimate of repair. There is nothing you can do yourself to fix the problem.

Question : I bought a 42' Philips LCD 1080P TV. With a regular cable, the picture is not as clear as my old CRT TV. ?
I also tried to watch DVD and VCR with my new TV, but the picture did not look as good as on the old one either. If I get a HD box, will I have better image when I watch DVD or VCR? Please help.
Answer:
This is what you'll have to do:-1. Buy a hd upconvert dvd/vcr combo. This combo lets you upconvert your old dvds and vcr tapes, so that you can finally enjoy watching them on your 1080p television. Click on this link and watch this video:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShJ6uNDtxhU2. Get a hd dvd player that allows upconvertion of regular dvds to 720p and 1080p resolution. But it as to have a (hdmi) output or else you won't get the best picture on your 1080p tv, from your regular dvds. Also you need to get a (hdmi) cable. Click on this link to look at one:-http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=64864423. If you want the best picture from your cable, you need to get a hd cable box. This box will convert the cable signal so that your picture is much sharper on your 1080p tv. The word (hd box) is not complete without another word beside it. eg. (cable hd box, dvd hd box etc.) Buying a so called (hd box) as you mentioned won't magically transform your dvd and vcr to hd or 1080p resolution. So to sum up what you need:-HD upconvert dvd player or HD upconvert dvd/vcr player combo(one) HDMI cable (very important if you want the best picture, do not use standard cables eg. (yellow-video cable nor composite cables- green,blue,black,red etc.) HD cable box with (one) HDMI cable (for best picture)That's all you need for some eye candy!

Question : Trying to hook my toshiba satellite to Philips LCD TV???
Ok, I've been at this for three days. I'm a PC tech, so I've tried all the basics. My laptop has VGA and S-Video out. I'm not happy with the S-video quality, and my tv only has HDMI (not DVI) and component for Hi-Def. I bought a VGA to Component (RGB) cable. I combed through the web trying to get some info on this. The native resolution for my tv us 1366x768. Of course this resolution is not one of the selections for my Intel 945GM adapter. I know power strip is not compatible with this intel card, and I also tried to hack the .inf file with the help a brilliant post I found on the web, and still nothing. When I connect my laptop to the tv, the picture is very noisy, then after a while, it's just black. HELP!!!! Just tell me if this is possible or not. I'm driving myself nuts over this trying to make this work when it may not even be possible. Just give it to me straight, I need to get some sleep... lol thanks.
Answer:
VGA is sinple RGB with some extra signals thrown in. Component is RGB where some of the extra signals are included in the RGB. So, a VGA to RGB cable doesn't hack it. You need a VGAS to component converter.

Question : Philips LCD TV's?
I was wondering what everybody thinks about Philips TV's. Walmart has a good deal on them right now for a 47" and I dont know if they are quality TV's or not. Thanks for your help
Answer:
Subjective info like, "I owned one and liked it," is of little value. Look at the pro reviews. Phillips/Magnavox (same mfg.) is the lowest quality of the "name brands." Almost a guarantee that you will experience problems. Just about anything carried by WalMart and other similar discount stores, like Philips, Ilo, Polaroid, RCA, Element, Vizio, and Olevia, are third tier (a.k.a. junk) TVs. Stick with the reliable, quality name brands like Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Hitachi.

Question : I have a Philips LCD TV. There's a USB port in it. How do I view movies through this?
Do I connect my computer to the TV directly or copy the movie onto a USB drive?
Answer:
Copy to flash drive then put it in do not hook up your comp to it that could blow both the comp and the tv and be a major problem. Also I think that usb is just for pictures but i could be wrong so don't quote me on that.

Question : I have a Philips LCd TV model-32PFL5322D/37. I wanted a tv that can support true hi def on 1080i.?
On this site it says the tv has a Display format of 720p and input video formats of 1080i. Does this mean i can get high definition in 1080i? ?? http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-and-plasma/philips-32pfl5322d-32-lcd/4507-6482_7-32402687.html?ta g=nav
Answer:
It will accept 1080i but cannot display it as 1080i. It will convert 1080i to 720p before being displayed.If an LCD can display 1080i, it can also display 1080p and will be advertised as such. Look at the resolution of the LCD tv. If it is less than 1920 x 1080, then it is not a 1080p display.On a different note "true HD" is a rather good market tactic. Most consumers would have trouble telling the difference between 720p, 1080i and 1080p TVs, especially in the 37" size you are looking at.

Question : Philips LCD tv-flashing a red light-won't turn on?
Model number is 37PF9431D/37- The power light (which is usually green) is flashing a red light and the TV won't turn on. What's wrong!?
Answer:
It could be a number of different things!I can be narrowed down by the number of flashes of the power light. I do know that if it flashes one long, two short that that's a firmware problem. You can update the TV's firmware by downloading it from the Philips' website onto a portable USB device. Then plug that into the TV's USB port.If the blinking code is different then that, i recommend contacting Philips to have them send a technician over to repair the TV! If this is the case, then i'm thinking there's a potential problem with the TV's power supply!Good luck!

Question : How do I connect my Philips TV to Sony receiver?
I want to connect my sony surround sound receiver to my new Philips 42PFL3603D/F7 LCD TV. I want to connect it via my receivers optical input, but it appears my TV's audio output is "SPDIF OUT". I've never even heard of this? Are there optical to SPDIF cables? Thanks in advance!
Answer:
s/pdif is digital audio out.If your TV has a little plastic protector on top of the SPDIF port, take it out and connect an optical cable. If it is an RCA plug, then connect a "coax" audio cable (although any RCA cable should work just fine..).Your Sony receiver should have both coax and optical digital audio inputs, so just get the cable you need.
