Great TV for price!
My Sylvania 27" analog TV finally bit the dust after 6 years. Thanks to the federal government's tax stimulus check, I decided to be a good American and help the economy out and purchase a new flat screen TV. I grew interested in the Philips because it was a new model, looked great in person, and was very affordable. I purchased the TV from a major warehouse retailer where you have to pay for an annual membership. It was only $999 online, and I got free shipping and a 2 year extended warranty. I...

Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Lots of inputs. Standard number of HDMI inputs is 2. This has 4. All capable of 1080p. Matte finish screen for easy viewing in most light. No annoying reflections. Great sound for 2x10watt speakers.
Cons: Dynamic contrast is buggy. I recomend turnning it off. The Active light control is a little weird. When the image goes dark, it counters it making it brighter, which distorts the reason ...

A Good Value
This is a fine, but not perfect, HTDV for the price.
Pros: Price, 4 HDMI 1.3a inputs, true 1080p, bright, high-contrast picture, handsome unit.
Cons: Remote lacks some features, some loss of detail in dark areas.
Summary: If you seek a 42" 1080p LCD by a major brand name and don't need all the high-end features (e.g., PiP, fancy upconverting, powerful surround sound), this is a handsome choice with fine picture quality and is among the very least expensive (under...

AIT Delivery Stinks
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The TV itself is great.
Cons: "AIT In Home Delivery" was a nightmare for me. First, they would only deliver during the day, and since I work I had to pick it up after hours. The first set I received was damaged. Newegg told me that UPS would call and arrange to pick it up, and that a new one would be shipped to me. Howeve...

This is NOT the 120Hz version!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: First, please note that I am commenting on the 120Hz version of this television. I highly recommend it. The Philips is the most aesthetically pleasing of all television choices. The refresh rate is JUST now being matched by Sony. The quality of the image is exceptional and even beats the Sony in a side-by-side comparison of the same HD content.
Cons: There is a LONG list of problems. NONE...

Awesome TV
This TV is the best I've seen on the market. It's slick, audio is great, almost no latency and the picture is awesome. The remote and the menu is really easy to navigate. I recommend it.

Awesome Picture Quality
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Awesome picture quality. Great contrast. Looks amazing in 1080p. Both my 360 and my PC look great on it. Sound is very good for built in speakers. Lots of inputs.
Cons: Very faint humm of the TV's power supply. You have to aim the remote just right to get it to work. No VGA support. (DVI works with the right cable).

Great TV
Looked at several different LCD HD TV's. Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp. Shopped online at Amazon, Best Buy, Circut City. Went to Target, and Walmart to check out the TV's in person. The Phillips had the best price and as good a picture as any of the others. The Sony 40 inch I saw had an outstanding picture, maybe the best, but the Phillips was just as good and several hundred dollars less. I love watching sports in HD on this thing! Great TV! Love it!

Barely worth $300
I am extremely happy with this TV.
it says on a lot of sites that this TV has an 8ms response time, but when you look in the owners manual it says its 5ms.
I think watching SDTV on this TV is great. I work for the cable company, and that being said, I have seen A LOT of pricey/cheap whatever price range of TV, look like crap when it comes to standard def programing. its not really something you want to see after spending X amount of dollars on a new TV. this one pulls it off very...

Ridiculously Awesome TV
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: 1. This TV has great picture quality. No cut corners on this. Clean quality picture.
2. There is a ton of inputs. Total of 4 HDMI inputs. Each input has its own separate menu. So i can run separate settings for TV viewing, a setting for my 360, and even a setting for my PC developed specifically for PC monitor usage.
3. Matte screen allows for perfect viewing whenever. And overall TV looks g...
