Just aweful!

Very handsome t.v., okay sound (we hooked up a surround sound because it wasn't the best quality), cheasy remote, but over all we were satisfied with it's picture and HDTV is fantastic! However, we bought this Philips 52" LCD HDTV just 15 months ago, and now it's a very expensive paper weight. After we found out that Philips Customer Service wasn't interested in talking to us (no warranty, no service!), we had to hunt down a "certified Philips Repair Center". First we had to pay them to come pick up the massive T.V. for $70.00, then we paid an additional $50.00 to have it diagnosed. We had to purchase the schematics for the T.V. repair tech because he didn't have them on hand, (?!) that was an additional $30.00 we had to pay Philips. In the end, the LCD is completely dead and it will cost $1200.00 to replace. $150.00 to find out we've been had! There are other reviews I've seen recently that say the same thing, no customer support and no way to fix the t.v. without purchasing a part that costs nearly the same as a brand new t.v. I've seen reviews where customers say it only lasted for 7 months, and no way to repair or replace it. I guess 15 months was pretty lucky? So buyers beware, Philips won't back up their product, won't deal with you, and it's probably going to cost you more than the t.v. is worth to have it fixed if anything goes wrong. We will not be purchasing any Philips products from now on considering how much we paid for that paper weight. Now I have to pay a fee to have it dumped, to add insult to injury!

(We did not have the option of buying an extended warranty, since we bought it direct from Philips!)

things you should know

So you want this TV it looks like pure sex and the wife is not beating you over the head about the price right?? ok ill try to keep this short and sweet is it worth the money??? YES but you have to remember if you have any cable company or even fios understand they broadcast in 1080i not 1080p but that ok the picture syill will look great on this tv the halo effect that most hd tvs have is almost non issue here it also come with a light sensor that adjusts your picture according to the light in the room it is truly a wonderful feature that you will enjoy but want to see the true power of this tv ?? put in a blue ray disc and prepare to crap your pants , and yes there are problems as you will find that people have had with this tv on the net but remember ALL tvs have problems no matter who makes them and the problem with this one was fixed long ago with a software update and this one should have that update installed already so not to worry also if you are a gamer the 2 ms response time will make you smile from ear to ear oh and i have to admit the speakers that come with this unit are some of the best i have ever heard on a set but i have home theater and no TV speakers can compete with that look at it this way if you don't like it you can always return it but i assure you you will not .

Great TV, you won't regret it!!

This TV is amazing, the picture quality on HD channels is wonderful and still good on non-HD. Stick a Blu-Ray in and you get awesome picture that makes you feel like you are there! Fly over scenes make you feel like you are flying! I would highly reccomend this TV for anyone looking to get a great tv at a great cost!

Great for the 7 months that it worked

I bought this TV in June 2009 from Sam's club. I noticed that every tenth time I would turn it on, the Philips logo was distorted. Philips said that is normal. Yesterday, I turned on the tv and when I tried to change the input, the menu was faded and pink. Pretty much every menu and input setting was faded with lines along the screen. Power cycling did not help. Thank God for Sams because otherwise I would have had a paperweight or had to wait for Philips to repair my unit.
Here are the good things while I had it:
-Great sound
-Great response time, okay picture
-Heavy duty glass stand
Bad things:
-uses 350watts of power which is like having a plasma tv
-Crappy contrast ratio
-You better hope you have a warranty on this thing. That would explain why Sams club is clearing these out at $998. If you are going to buy one of these things, buy the longest warranty you can.
-no VGA input for computers, annoying changing inputs

I loved Philips and had great respect from them since they are well known in the healthcare field. But after seeing these issues, I have concluded that these newer TV's in general are just heavy paperweights. They probably build them in China now and expect the consumer to shell out 2k every 3-5 years instead of the good ol' days where our old RCA set lasted 26 years! Regardless these things depreciate faster then my car. This TV was $1499+tax 6 months ago and the year before that was $2399! So in 2 years, it has lost $1300. I am going to just go buy myself a cheap Vizio or Insignia with a credit card keep it for 2 years, resell, and get another one.

Hope this helps anyone considering buying this set. I would say go for it but get an extended warranty!

Love it so much I have two

This review is being posted after 7 months of ownership.

I moved to digital TV this past winter. The worst thing about going to a nice TV was it made my other TVs show their age. So I treated myself to more than one. I bought a total of 4 different brands thinking that I would have a REALLY nice TV in my living room and something less spectacular in my bedroom. I ended up returning a more expensive TV to get a second Phillips because the Phillips looked and sounded better side by side.

Others smarter than I may talk about technical specs that make this an inferior TV. I am not interested in that debate. I know which one looked best when I had them side-by-side in my home.

Watching blu ray movies is nothing less than awesome (when you get a GREAT movie recorded in blu ray.)

FYI, I looked mostly at 120Hz LCDs, but did try one plasma TV. And in case you were wondering, yes, these are quite a pain in the behind to repackage and take back to the store. But I have no shame when I am spending this much money and I can look at the output side-by-side and I realize the cheaper TV looks better.

Great BIG TV

I purchased this through Amazon/TigerDirect. Great price, less than half of what Best Buy calls for.

The TV is enormous. Much larger than the 42" description would imply. At first, I didn't think it would fit.

The picture with Ambilight is amazing. Much better than the two other HD sets I own. The tuner on this TV caught much more than the Sony tuners on the other HD sets, probably a hundred more channels. It found over 400 channels including analog on my Comcast cable.

The remote needs to be aimed directly at the TV to work. The interface connectors on the bottom of the set would have been better with a diagram of them on the back. The side buttons aren't labeled too well either.

It did accept all of the media I used, including USB thumb drives and such. The manual is a trip and a thick one too. I'm still not sure what everything does.

I like it.

Good but not Great

First, this is indeed a "cool" tv. Looks great turned off, and very cool with the full ambilight. Also, decent speaker, easy hookup and good stand.

That being said, the remote is kind of low-grade - does the job, but not great; and the picture is only good. whatever you do, DO NOT go look at the new Elite plasmas or you won't buy this - cost aside.

Overall, a happy purchase for the price - but not the best HDTV quality - not even by a longshot...

Phillips Ambilight

The TV is amazing!!! Have the Ambilight on in a dark room while watching a movie and then turn it off. It feels like your TV just drastically shrank.

Awesome TV, great price!

I had been in the market for a new t.v. for quite sometime. I had wanted to by a HD LCD, but my budget could only handle so much. When I saw the price on this t.v. I immediately purchased it. For this price your not going to do better. The ambilight feature is incredible when you watch in the dark. It really helps your eyes adjust to the changing picture environment very well. I was very particular in getting a set that had a high contrast ratio, and this set has a decent dynamic contrast ratio, not the best, but again...your not going to do better for the money. The other, image processing, features are incredible and offer a ridiculous range of picture adjustment. Oh, btw, this is no small tv...it measures 50" wide, but it is worth it. It is very sleek and modern looking. One last thing, the options to hook up compenents seem endless. The SD drive is awesome, no more looking at pictures on a 3.5" camera lcd. For gamers this is an awesome set: 1)unlike plasma the lcd doesnt burn, 2)wide options for hooking up game systems, 3)the PIP allows you to watch tv and game on two equal sized screens, so you arent missing anything (ie...football!!). Do your self a favor and buy this tv!

WOW

Let me start by saying this TV completely spoiled regular tv that we are all used to. As my buddies and I watched our first HD movie with the ambilight full surround, within 10 minutes we all agreed watching tv without ambilight will never be the same again! The ambilight brought the tv to life, it's a whole new world. Picture quality is great, and I love the picture auto-format option. One cool feature is the demos you can view on live television. The philips tv sort of splits the screen and shows you what your picture looks like with and without Clear LCD and Pixel Plus 3. The difference is extremely noticable.

Sound is good, its loud, clear, and nice base.

Although the screen is 42 inches diagonal, the tv is approximately 50 inches wide. This is due to the black border of the tv and the white background that was added to reflect the ambilight. It's a brilliant looking tv, very luxurious.

One thing I was dissappointed about was the memorycard/media option. I like to edit and create videos and convert them to DivX, Avi, MPEG files. I thought I would be able to play those types of media files right off my of SD card. Turns out you cant. Just pictures, music, and .alb files.

The remote is very nice looking, and the back of the tv has multiple inputs.

Overall, your tv/viewing experience will never be the same once you get used to ambilight. It really makes a world of difference and you will love it... especially with the different modes of ambilight. You will fall in love with the tv, bottom line.
