Excellent picture quality and very power efficient!!
This tv is amazing, it picked up my HD channels right away and the picture quality is very impressive! We've been watching so many movies and it's been such a treat. The sound on the TV isn't all that bad either, it was a big improvement compared to our older CRT tv... but for movies we have sound coming from a receiver/theater speakers.
I connected my killowatt meter to measure the consumption in power saving mode and sure enough, it consumes between 65watts to 75watts. I looked a...

Great TV, great price.
We did a bunch of research before buying this TV, and to be honest, the eco-tv power-saving features were the factor that closed the deal for us. I figured that we'd trade a little picture quality for the savings in power, but that it would be worth it in the end.
I was wrong! The picture quality is terrific, even with the power-saving mode turned on. The main difference is that without the power-saving mode on, the set is extremely bright. With the power-saving mode on, the set has ...

Great TV at a Great Price!!!
After reading just about every online review of this television I could find, I decided to pull the trigger on it. I was a little hesitant as I found a couple reviews claiming that this television had a couple weaknesses. One being that it couldn't produce a good black (common with cheaper LCD TVs) and two was that the sound wasn't very good (most use surround with a flat screen anyways). Well, upon receipt from Amazon and shipped with CEVA, the television looked amazing. Great shipping, got...

Solid LCD for the price
I had done a considerable amount of research before I purchased the Phillips 42 and I have to say I am quite pleased with my choice. I have owned the TV for about a month now and here are some of my findings. Hope this helps.
After reading a few conflicting spec reports, the Phillips 42 does in fact have a 5ms seek time. Some sites you will see have it listed at 8ms but this is incorrect. The 5ms is amazing when watching sports or playing games. There are roughly no 'trails' or incon...

Customer Service Warning!
42" Philips TV purchased on October 20th, 2007 from Costco.
Television began to have intermittent problems after seven months. The power would come on, then the screen would go black. Contacted Philips customer care on August 10th, 2008. The tv was still under warranty.
Philips said a satellite repair agency would contact me within a couple days.
A week later, after no reply, I called Phillips again on a friday. They called the repair agency while I was on hold ...

Awesome HDTV!
Pros: Stelthy sleek styling, Vivid picture quality, 4 1.3 HDMI ports, Low power consumption.
Cons: Speakers can use some help, Remote control is very basic
I 'm very happy with my purchase of this Eco HDTV. It has some great features & uses less power than any HDTV in its class today. The images look crystal clear while watching DVD's & TV. Playing games on the Xbox 360 is a blast! Can't wait to see what the PS3 looks like! This 42" runs extremely cool too! It doesn't cr...

WOW
I have never taken time to write a review before, but after getting this TV I had to. I have shopped TVs for 2 months before buying this and I'm glad I did. The picture is amazing. I hooked it up to my digital cable box that is not HDTV and thought Wow great picture, but when I played a DVD on my 1080 upconvert player through HDMI I was speechless. Its like looking trough a window. The sound is good from TV but through a tuner its incredible. As a matter of fact I just ordered a new 7.1 tuner to...

Good HD pictures, but....
Philips 42PFL5603D/27 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
This TV displays gorgeous pictures on channels broadcasting HD and very good pictures from digital channels, but the images in standard broadcast mode leave a lot to be desired. And, the slowness of changing from one channel to another is very annoying. The channel information stays on the screen much to long for my taste. The remote control is too small and its number keys are too sensitive. If you do not depress them fast enough you get ...

Obama in HD!
We bought this TV just so we could watch Obama's inauguration in HD while being as caring and compassionate as we can about Mother Earth. This TV carries Al Gore's signature of approval, having been imported from a foreign country, to eventually be disposed of in the same foreign country - thereby restoring America's claim as the happiest shiniest beacon on the hill, the envy of eurotrash throughout the world. However, we have had to explain (several times) to our neighbors that the U.S. is not ...
