Perfect TV for a bedroom

Great picture, a little weak on the sound. Light weight and fits perfectly in the entertainment cabinet in our bedroom.

Excellent TV and Excellent Value

I have owned this TV for about a year now. Initially, I was a little concerned about buying and shipping a TV but there were no issues.

After research and viewing, this TV was simply the best bang for the buck available. I am still not aware of a better value for a 32" LCD. The picture is flawless and the sound is just fine. This TV is used in a study, but have it connected to a Bose sound dock that I use for my iPod. Movies sound great. I didn't buy this TV for the sound quality, but without any external speakers, it is certainly within the norm on quality. There is no better picture in this price range.

Good TV with a few flaws

If Philips paid more attention to the firmware on this TV, it would be a must buy. The extra picture enhancement features they offer on this TV are a big fat joke. Nearly every corrective or enhancing option causes skin tones to become red. The picture setup assistant lets you choose the picture much like the optometrist determines your prescription, but the end result is always horrible. You're better off googling the optimal settings for picture quality. The only "extra" feature I use is the 120hz option, which makes movement seem very life-like.

When you fiddle with the settings enough to get a good picture, it actually does a very good job. Colors are vibrant and everything is very sharp in HD. However, I run into two consistent issues, the black levels are not great and there is a very slight delay in the signal reaching the TV. The first issue wasn't such a huge deal to me because my last TV wasn't really that great with black levels either. The second issue isn't an issue unless you play video games, which I do. The delay is a problem in rhythm games where timing must be precise. Fortunately most games have options to compensate for this, and most games you don't even notice the delay, but it's something to be aware of. On the other hand, first person shooter games don't suffer too badly.

Not much to say about the sound as I don't use the internal speakers. They're not mind blowing, but not bad either. The most irritating part about sound on this TV is the fact that the mute button is disabled if you use the headphone jack for your speakers.

A couple miscellaneous notes: the info button on the remote is pathetic. Again, if Philips invested more in the software this could be a great TV. My tiny 22" LG TV provides more information about a TV program (like the start and end times, progress of the program, etc.) than this 32" TV does. I also upgraded my firmware as soon as I unpacked the TV. I am using 1.08 I believe.

I'm still satisfied with this TV because I didn't have to pay tax or shipping, but you might not be if you're really picky about your TVs.

Satisfied

I thought of buying Samsung 32" 120Hz TV. But considering the price, I decided to try this one. I thought, in the worst case, I could have returned it (With my past experience, I have full faith on Amazon).

My only complain with this TV is, I could not figure it out, using it as a computer monitor. I tried with a VGA to HDMI cable but it didn't work. My computer doesn't have any DVI or HDMI port, only VGA output.

I am impressed with the picture quality. It is so sharp and vivid that there is no doubt that buying this TV was a very good decision. Sound quality is ok.

Pros:
*Amazing picture quality, extremely sharp and smooth, Vivid color.
*4 HDMI Inputs
*USB input.

Cons:
*It has 4 HDMI inputs but doesn't have any VGA/PC input. Though I had a VGA to VGA cable but I had to buy a VGA to HDMI cable, but it didn't work.

* It doesn't have any optical digital audio output. It has coaxial digital audio out.

A great upgrade!!

I purchased this tv as a first HD tv for my wife and I. Taking it out of the box and setting it on its swivel base was very lightweight and I love the thin trim around the screen. It has a setup assistant to help choose which picture type looks the best with whatever cable/satalite signal you recieve at home. When I first set up the tv (which was very easy by the way), I noticed right away the comment someone else had made about faces looking "shiny" or glowing. That is due to the 48000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio on a smaller set. Once I turned the Dynamic Contrast and Active Control (automatic room lighting control) functions off and set the regular contrast(85) and brightness(60) way up, the picture was very bright and colorful without the glow (I found out that is due to stage and camera lighting) and the dark color and black didnt looked washed out. The 120Hz makes the movement so fluid and smooth its almost like your watching through the cameramans lense live! The sound isnt bad either! It has rear firing speakers to reduce that tinny flat panel sound, a five band EQ and an Incredible Sound function that makes lows low and highs high!(not just bass boost) This has been a great tv so far and I plan on getting a bigger one next tax season! What a great upgrade from a box set!!

Waste of money

This was my second try at a screen cleaner as the first one I had just left streaks everywhere , this one was no different(i'm assuming different manufacturers use different screen materials, so i can only say for certain this doesn't work on an LG ), now with 60 or so odd dollars of "screen cleaners" sitting on a shelf I decided to do what I should have done the first time RTFM, right there in my owners manual under "cleaning" it says to use a solution of warm water with a splash of fabric softener (yes, fabric softener) then ring your cloth out as much as possible. I tried that and my screen is now as clean as the day I took it out of the box (and smells "springtime fresh"), I was amazed that I was willing to pay $30 for something to clean my tv when all I needed was the fabric softener I already have (you can get a lot of it for $30) and a microfiber cloth which will cost you about $1

GREAT PRODUCT

Used to use Monster iClean but noticed it left my Apple iMac with a large amount of smudge on the glass. Gave this a try and it cleaned with no residue at all. Highly recommended.

Philips Cleaning kit..

Hace no más de un mes tuve la oportunidad de comprar una nueva TV y fuí por la Philips de 42".. con el tiempo pude observar marcas de dedos en la mísma y tras leer vaaarios reviews, decidí comprar el cleaning kit del fabricante de la TV.

No me arrepiento, es de facil utilización, es un limpiador MUY EFECTIVO que no deja rayas ni "manchas" en mis pantallas. (Lo he utilizado para limpiar las pantallas de unas notebooks)
El producto viene con un paño de microfibra bastante grande que puede llevar a cabo el trabajo de limpiar una gran pantalla sin inconvenientes.

También quiero destacar la entrega rápida y en excelente estado.

super pleased with purchase, and excellent value

I purchased this TV about 1 month ago, and so far love it. I own a Panasonic Viera th-50pz80U (480hz 1080p)that I bought 2 years ago, and my brother owns the newer g10 50 inch 600hz panasonic, and this phillips is as nice as those two Plasma TVs. Upsides of this tv, LCD, more durable as far as moving around. Plasma tvs are still glass and need to be kept upright, never to be placed on their face. this can be moved more. It is brighter than the plasma TV at baseline. Colors pop without haveing to put the TV into a brighter mode as I have done before on my plasma. there is no burn in or streeking as with the plasmas if not taken care of. I have not had a problem with the panasonics, but on rare occasion on pause I will see a little burn in that will fade on my plasma. I think that the speed of the TV, 240hz, has made it comparable to my plasma for everyday movies. This has a digital motion program built in the set which can be turned off and on. For regular movies and TV, I turn it off. On animated movies, wow, i think this TV beats my plasma. The draw back with the digital motion is that it looks really choppy in movies with a lot of action, like car chases . It does funny things with the people on the screen as well. If it is focused on a character, it almost feels as if they were standing there in the room. It looses the warmth and depth in background, and again seems choppy when the focus person or object moves, and looks really processed (like a computer straining to keep up with rate) if the background moves. Regular movies and sports, I love my Plasma TV. This Philips 5505 model does not have Wifi built in for net flix, but the 5705 model does. This one runs a bit cheaper, and as a second nice tv for the bedroom, this works well and is a great value for the speed and size. Only a few of the upper models from sony and LG have 240 hz LCD/LED tvs, and those models will cost you quite a bit more for a comparable TV. The Cheapest i saw the Sony was around $1100 for a 40 inch. For LCD tvs, this one is great, and the digital motion can be turned off which is a nice feature. As a final note, my friend sprung for a samsung 46 inch 120hz model, and spent considerably more, and this toast it all around. again with the samsung as with most LED tvs, they over process the image and it looks choppy and unnatural. That is why i like the fact I can turn on and off the Digital motion feature. Check this TV out, great value and performance.

Update- response to some questions that came up. The Net picture are not that good

Thanks for the good questions, the pictures are tough to see

The Bezel is a glossy bezel, reflective

The screen is essentially flat. I note a small reflection when the tv is off, but there is no reflection when the tv is on, and i can tell you my plasma tv that is one draw back, the reflection on bright days. in looking at the other lcd/led tvs on the market, this is the same as most of them these days. My friends Samsung 46" 650 model has an actual plastic protective cover over the LCD screen which does reflect, that was a shock. the non reflective front is one of the advantages of any LCD/LED tv over most plasmas

Mesurments 26 1/2 tall, 9 3/4 at base, tv 3 3/4 thick, 39 across horizonal, corner to corner at 40" screen, almost 43 corner of bezel to corner of bezel.

Finally, LCD/LED tvs run much cooler than plasma tvs, so this tv is much cooler and nicer in my room than my plasma would be.

One final note. Depending upon if you want Net capability for streeming videos from the internet eg, netflixs, or blockbuster streeming vidio, the 5705 model online here at amazon is only a few dollars more. I got my tv at a warehouse retailer for less than the current price today on sale, so this model was a no brainer, and I don't really care about the net capability because various blu-ray players have that capability as well. so if you want a stand alone tv and you plan to get a blu ray player, net capapble doesn't matter. if you have limited space and watch all your movies offline, then the 5705 model would be worth the investment.
hope this helps
