 Excellent HD Television Jul 15, 2010
Purchased this HDTV for under $1K early 2010 and I of course have been doing shopping for a LCDTv for quite some time then.
When I ran across this TV being displayed next to Sony,Sharp,Samsung and a few other brands I was simply amazed how the quility on the Philips not only looked as good as the Sharp but looked better than other displays there Sony included.
Normally i'm a Panasonic fan but when I compared them I had to go with tyhe Philips.
What you get 120hz processing,480i,480p,520p,720p,1080i & 1080p.
4 HDMI connectors,1 USB for firmware upgardes and Picture & MP3 playback,2 component,2x-composite,2x-s-video Plus2 more audio options. Unfortunately no optical.
Have tested Blu-ray playback with the Sony Playstation 3.
And the colors are rich & deep and the resolution is very sharp. The black levels are excellent on Blu-ray play back. Alos should mention that the tv handles 24hz playback excellently just as the director intended.
Standard TV depending on what service you use I have tested with Bright House and Verizon Fios cable.
Bright house standard picture was acceptable but you could plainly see digitization during some shows depending on the channel you are watching.
Bright house HD content was very nice at 1080i and again this depended on what HD channels you were watching.
Verizon Fios cable standard is above acceptable the standard picture quality is a bit moresoft than sharp but there is no digitization that can be seen good detail and excellent motion.
Verizon Fios cable HD programming: I dare say it's close to Blu-ray quality on most HD channels of course not quite as sharp or deep as a BR movie but very impressive.
The sound on this TV again depends on service Brighthouse the sound is loud and acceptable through TV speakers.
Fios The sound is very very low requires me to turn on home theater system to hear it properly.
On a note the speakers are placed behind the casing so this also muffles the sound and they do sound decent not excellent this is where Sony's TV came ahead thier sound was more crisp and louder.
From edge to edge the Tv stays bright in all corners and also stays sharp in the corners as well.
I have tested PC hookup and was pleased Surfing the net at 1920x1080 was sharp and easily able to read it was as sharp as my Computer monitor.
Also tested Crysis,Gears Of War and a few other games on the Tv they looked incredible on the Philips and there was almost no tearing presnt when I had Vsync off in game my PC monitor tears terribly the Philips TV surpassed my 23" LCD monitor that I use daily on my PC.
Xbox 360,Wii and of Course Playstation 3 playback same discovery it looks sharp and plays well.
The Playstation 3 games do sound much better through my Surround system since thier games support DTS sound.something Nintendo and M$ do not offer in thier games.
All in all this product is awesome and I hihly recommend this set to anyone that does not wanna spend Sony or Samsung prices but want the same quality.
Just make sure to do your home work before purchasing any TV this is an investment and should be something that fits your price range and needs.
 BROKE 4 MTHS AFTER PURCHASE/BEEN AT REPAIR SHOP OVER A MONTH! Jul 11, 2010
We bought this television after a great deal of research Superbowl weekend. We came home the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend to find the television would no longer come on (only 4 mths after purchase). We called Philips and they told us the name of a repair person, who was not available until after the holiday. We called and realized the repair person was over an HOUR away and would not come. Called Philips back, they "escalated" our call and told us it would be 24/48 hours before anyone could get back with us that they did not have any one closer. Two days later, a representative calls and says there is a certified Philips repair technician twenty minutes away and to call them. We do, and after speaking with someone two different times, get an appointment to come the next morning. They literally come in and take the television. It is now July 10th, and I am staring at a blank wall! The repair company does not call us, we have had to call them repeatedly, and finally had to call Philips to get them to call back. They claimed they ordered one part, and that did not work and they were ordering another part. Then a week later we went through the same calling ordeal to find out, that new part was defective and they were ordering a new one "that day". It has been another week, so we called on Wednesday, Philips said to give them until Friday and if we had not heard from them by then, to call back. We called back yesterday and Philips said, "They are so sorry it is taking so long. The repair company is doing the best they can and Philips is trying to get the parts to them as quickly as possible." If we do not hear anything by Tuesday or Wednesday, we are suppose to call back. We are so frustrated and would NEVER have bought this television if we had known the problems we would not only have with it, but with simply having it repaired! DO NOT BUY THIS TELEVISION!
 don't buy from phillips!!!!!! Mar 30, 2010
This tv was perfect except for the fact that after a little over 2 weeks of owning it, we got a thick green vertical line going down the center of the screen. Phillips said it was defective!!! and they wanted to send us a REFURBISHED ONE TO REPLACE THIS ONE....and we would have to pay to ship our tv back to them...now obviously it was still in warranty, plus we bought the extended warranty. we only had it a little over 2 weeks, and they wanted to replace it with a USED tv....so we spent around 1,400 for a tv that would be replaced within 2 weeks. AND ON TOP OF THAT...the replacement tv would only have a 90 day warranty...so, that would mean that we were screwed out of our intitial 1 year warranty and the extended 2 year warranty....AND THEY WERE ALSO VERY RUDE AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!!!! If you own this tv already, take a good look at the manual and read through the warranty, I can guarantee you will not be happy with what is written in there. If you end up having a problem with your tv, you are basically screwed out of the money you spent for the tv!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A PHILLIPS PRODUCT AGAIN!! After having this problem, I did some research and found many other people complaining about phillips lcd tv's...and the horrible customer service!!! So do yourself a favor and don't buy this tv unless you want to take the chance of having a problem with it, and then not having a good company to back up their products and provide good service to their customers.
Luckily for us, the store that we bought it from is very understanding and willing to take it back so we can buy a different brand tv. THANK YOU BJ'S!!!!!!

great tv for the price Mar 13, 2010
tv is great, good picture, can't beat this tv for the (...) from a club store, trying to find a surround bar for under 200 that will enable me to hear the voices above the sound in movies for its in a large bathroom and running the jetted tub its hard to hear what people say without turning it up real loud, right now i have a computer speaker system hooked up to the headphone jack, i cut the two little speakers off of that system and added two good speakers, but still cannot control adjusting the voices to be heard over the background music like on my living room surround sound, not sure if this tv will work with a 5.1 surround bar or not, tried working with the equalizer inside the tv menu but no difference, i have hd cable, hdmi cables looked great, but had to hook up component cables because i have a toshiba dvd recorder and the hd box keeps giving me that dreaded copyright message you have to turn off when you change channels on the box, of course not the tvs fault, the cable boxes fault, so if you can find this tv for a great price its worth it, for my brother has a samsung and my parents have a 47 in phillips and the samsungs may have a little bit better of a color but not much, im glad i saved the money and bought this phillips, if anybody can help with a recommended surround bar to help hear the voices better please comment, i would love to hear someone that has this tv and the same problem how you fixed it, remember this is in a large bathroom so i just want a soundbar, not a surround sound system, don't hesitate on this tv, although you probably will be hard pressed to get this tv for one grand again, buy it if you can, the remote is just fine for me, i don't understand the big fuss, its not pretty but i have no problems with it, good luck

Fifty Two Inches of crystal-clear High Definition Mar 11, 2010
I bought this LCD TV five months ago, to upgrade from a my previous Philips 42PFL5332D/37 42" 720p LCD. I wanted to go bigger and 1080p and 120hz were too cool to resist. I was not disappointed, Watching a Blu-Ray movie is so phenomenal on this set, it feels like you are watching the studio's master copy. 120hz makes Video Games, Sports and Live broadcasts so lifelike and fluid, just dont use it for movies, it creates a "soap opera effect", this can be disabled by turning off the "Digital Natural Motion" in the OSD Menu. The chassis is handsome, with rounded edges reminds me of a giant I-phone. The clear plastic trim adds a sleek sophistication and looks nice compared to other dull square all-black sets. There are two mini-woofer drivers on the back of the TV as well as "invisible" tweeters, this TV is supposed to have improved audio over other HDTV's, I wouldnt know because I use a 7.1 Channel Surround system instead. 4x HDMI ports, its future-proof. Only drawback is its plain-jane remote, pick up a logitech harmony and youre all set. Let me put it to you this way.. I went to see my San Diego Chargers play the Tennessee Titans on Christmas Day, 8 rows from the field, but I actually still missed watching it on this Philips! its that good.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
