Faulty TV

We purchased the TV in November and by the time we got o January we had problems witht he Picture. Whenever the tv was turned on we would get multitude of little multicolor lined grid of the program we were trying to watch. We woudl have to turn off and turn ont he tv multiple times to get htis to go away. We contacted Phillips and they decided to give us a newer model becasue the part needed for this tv is on backorder and it is not guranteed that it will come in ever.

I wish the problem happened sooner so that I could have returned it to the orignal place of purchase. This will be our first anfd last time buying a Phillips TV.

Btw, we did not purchase the TV from Amazon.com

Full HD LCD display, with a 1920x1080p resolution The Full HD screen has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest resolution of HD sources for the best possible picture quality. It is fully future proof as it supports 1080p signals from all sources, including the most recent like Blu-ray and advanced HD game consoles. The signal processing is extensively upgraded to support this much higher signal quality and resolution. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with superb brightness and colors.

Great Flat Screen

We've been using this TV since June 2008! No problems - however, we don't really use the TV speakers so I can't really comment too much on them but before I had the theater system hooked up it sounded fine - one thing from the sound that I really miss was the TV's sound processers ability to mediate the volume transitions from programs to commercials concerning broadcast TV.

We have a DVD player, Wii, Roku (Netflix), TV antenna, and a VCR all hooked up via a HiDef Stereo receiver. The TV works great with everything.
We have rearragned our living room such that at times it is desirable to rotate the TV on its base towards the couch and this is done with ease. I'm using a logitech remote but it was easy enough to use the original TV remote.

I saw lots of reviews about this TV with the outcome of a coupon at Costco. I waited until the very last day of the coupon validity to see if anyone had posted any negative reviews and there were none that were valid enough to me.

I highly recommend this product as long as you don't want to mount it on the absolutly flat on wall as the access ports all come straight out the back and therefore you would need to keep the back of the TV at least 2-3 more inches away. You could always cut out the wall there I suppose. Your choice.

This thing is amazing

I purchased this product on Black Friday as an early Christmas gift. It's my first flat panel HD TV. I bought it on the specs, the Philips name and the price.

Set up was a snap. It took longer to get it out of the box than to get it operational. The remote is intuitive. The on screen menus are simple and straightforward.

For me coming from a traditional TV, the picture is outstanding. Colors are rich and lush. The blacks are black. The detail is amazing. You can see the pores on news anchors' skin. The screen is viewable from multiple angles.

Speakers are hidden within the unit's case. Sound quality is excellent.

Setting up other devices (DVD player, game console) was simple. It has more connectors than I expect I'll need (at least for now).

This unit provides a lot of value.

price vs. performance

"I bought this tv a few weeks ago for our kids to use for their viewing. (XBOX 360/ WII, ..etc.) The XBOX 360 graphics when using HDMI are incredible.

Sound is good enough. FWIW, the headphone jack is a nice feature for use w/ wireless headphones. i.e. The kids can put on headphones and "voila!" peace and quiet.

HD channels are very crisp/clear. Standard def is pretty good also. (standard def depends alot on signal strength from your cable provider.)

Overall I gave the tv a 5-star rating b/c of the low price and reasonable performance ratio. This is not a high-end Sharp or Sony so I am not considering that in the review. It is however several hundred dollars less that the high end."

Best price for great 42" LCD

For the price of $750 you will unlikely find a 42" LCD that has as great quality as this Philips! I had a Vizio 32" prior to upgrading and saw a remarkable difference in the picture, sound and overall appearence!!!

A good TV with very sharp pictures

I bought this set because I needed a set which can deliver sharp and crystal clear pictures with vivid colors. This product out performs most sets in its price range and class. It has convenient connection panels both in the back and on the left side. It seems to me that the quality of this model is fairly consistant(the picture quality is the same as the ones I saw in stores). Comparing picture qualities with Sanyo and Zivio next to each other, this set is the winner.

I was surprised at the picture quality

I purchased this TV as a referb unit and was expecting nothing more than a pretty marginal picture. When I connected it to my Cable box, I was really surprised at how good the picture looked. The sound is about average, but could be slightly louder for some stations. I end up having to turn the TV all the way to MAX volume and still the sound is low.

I have found two issues that cause this TV to loose stars. The first issue is that the TV will not do an HDMI re-sync with my cable box when I turn the TV on. Therefore, I have to unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable every time I turn the TV on. I know that this an issue with the TV and not the cable box as other TVs I have tried with this same cable box do not have this issue.

The second issue is pretty minor, but still is a bother. The only audio output jack is a digital coax out, not a pair of RCA jacks for left and right. Therefore, I cannot connect the TV to my amplifier/speakers - which is only a problem because of the low sound

Overall, I would definitely recommend the TV based on the picture, so I gave the TV 3 stars. I have had the TV for 3 weeks now. I will update this review after I have had the TV for a longer time.

Worked Well For Awhile..

I bought this tv 5 months ago. I was slightly disappointed in the picture quality. It looks good, but not GREAT. Other than that, it was working fine until this week when it refused to stay on. I called Magnavox directly and they are going to send me a replacement. Kind of a pain.

Big Picture, Small Price.

I have had my TV now for four Months and am very pleased with it's performance. I FINALLY was able to see first hand what "High Definition" looks like as I just bought my first Blu Ray DVD for my new Blu Ray Player. All I can say is "WOW!" The colors are amazing... the blacks are black and this TV has excellent detail and contrast. I am sure there are better HDTV's out there, but for the price I paid I am VERY pleased with the picture as well as the clarity of the slightly underpowered speakers. Watching Journey To The Center Of The Earth in 3-D was quite a treat and I will watch it over and over thanks to this quality TV. Thanks Magnavox!!

Seven Months and It's Dead

I definitely wanted a Sony or Samsung but my wife bought me this set at less than $500.00. It really looked great but after only seven months of viewing, I heard a loud POP! The set is fried and has to be replaced. We bought it at Target, a place I will never buy electronics again. (GPS UNIT Didn't work). Spend the extra money and get a better TV. This is pure crap.

Not a Horrible TV

I have had this TV for 2 years and find that it was not a horrible purchase. The picture is excellent when playing DVDs, but somewhat grainy with regular cable (a problem with other TVs as well). The remote is tiny and it is next to impossible to see the buttons in low light (so buy a new remote. . .). The channel images on the screen are also too small and the time delay when switching channels requires patience. The worse part of the equation is the volume. As others have said, the volume on setting "1" is too loud. Guess it is good for the price, but I wouldn't buy again.

Great LCD monitor, good TV

I have owned this machine for more than 1 year. I use this machine as both extended monitor of my laptop and TV. As a computer monitor, the picture is crystal, especially when I watch the photos taken with my Nikon D40 on it. The pictures are well reproduced with the original color, very sharp and saturated comparing with LCD monitor of my laptop and other CRT monitor. The reason I give it 4 star is that it's not a good TV, compared with my 14" DAEWOO CRT TV. I think this is due to the low contrast of this machine. However, for about $300, it's a great deal!

Thank Goodness I purchased Extra Warranty Protection!!!

Purchased a REFURB through ebay slightly over 1 year ago (Jan 2008) and decided to purchase an additional warranty(square trade). I paid about $350 + shipping for the TV and was very pleased until December 2008 when I went to turn it on one day and NOTHING! I have no idea what the problem was & cannot imagine what led to it~ The TV was wall mounted (by contractor), NOT hooked up to cable,as I used a simple antenna, and I did have a DVD player connected to the TV. Filed a claim with warranty provider & the TV was repaired & sent back to me. I tried 3 different times to call and find out what the problem had been but was never able to get an answer. Seems to be working fine but I'm keeping my fingers crossed since the warranty has expired!!

No Digital Tuner! No HDMI, but also not a lot of $$$, either.

I received this item as a shelf pull from a Big Box store, and immediately noticed the large sticker on the base telling me that it's only got an analog tuner so it won't be able to get an over air signal after Feb of whenever, so if you're looking for a digital tuner, look elsewhere.
Anyway, I agree with the others on the volume issue, it's rather loud at the 1 setting on the volume, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep, but it's not a deal breaker, and is easily adjusted by using the volume control on your input devices (you might be surprised to know that many cable boxes and DVD players have their own volume controls)
The picture is great, and it makes a more than appropriate bedroom TV, if you can tweak the volume controls a little.

Good picture poor volume controll

I bought this TV for use in my bedroom some time ago. The TV has a great picture but from level 1-10 on the sound there is no change in volume which is a nuisance. At this sound level the TV is hard to fall asleep too and forget it if you don't set the timer and an infomercial comes on in the middles of the night because it's going to wake you up.

My only other complaint is turning on and off the TV. If you turn the TV off using the button on the TV you can't turn it back on with the remote. To me this is very strange and took a little getting use to but now it's not a big deal.

I have had my TV for almost 2 years and use it in the kitchen now because the of the volume issues but over all it has been a good TV.
