Philips Cineos 32PFL9603D

By Ian Morris

We love it when a TV manufacturer remembers that most people don't live in enormous mansions. It's great for us plebs who live in lowly flats and modest houses to have a TV with the latest technology and excellent picture quality. Philips' 9603 does ...

Picture ; sound ; design ; features ;

That remote control wheel will drive you round the bend ; not very cheap ; bright backlight in dark scenes ;

This is a good, sturdy TV for people who want high-end performance on a smaller scale. Picture and sound both help to sell the package and the styling is clean, fresh and attractive

Digital SLRs are big, heavy and awkward to lug around. So what do you do if you want SLR-style capabilities in a pocket-sized package? With its 12-megapixel sensor, wideangle zoom and hands-on controls, the ? Ricoh GX200 sounds like the perfect...

Philips Cineos 42PFL9603D/10 42in LCD TV

By John Archer

Award: Recommended!

We recommended the 32in version, but how do an extra ten inches affect proceedings? John finds out.

As I'd hoped, all the outstanding AV qualities found in the 32PFL9603D are merely amplified by the bigger 42PFL9603D, without any new weaknesses coming to the fore. Admittedly it's not cheap for a 42in TV, but provided you're willing to treat it with ...

The idea behind 100Hz on an LCD TV, in case you're not aware of it, is that doubling the normal 50Hz PAL refresh rate should help reduce LCD's traditional problems with motion blur. A few weeks back I found myself rather taken with Philips'...

Philips Ambilight 37PFL9603D television

By Jamie Carter

Light up your life

Ambilight, judder-free Blu-ray pictures, four HDMI inputs, bass-heavy sound

Poor remote, PC networking falters, expensive

The fabulously featured 37PFL9603D comes dangerously close to completely redrawing the battle lines between LCD and plasma TVs

Found on the 37PFL9603D in its Spectra 2 "stereo" manifestation, the Ambilight engine monitors what's playing on the TV and projects similar coloured light from strips of LEDs. Ambilight is best seen as an extra feature because the 37PFL9603D is...

Philips 42PFL9603H

By Vincent Lheur

The PFL9603H displays nice images but mainly suffers from dynamic modifications to the gamma curve which cannot be deactivated. Otherwise, blacks are a little to grayish.

Good looks, extensive spec ; impressive sound by flatscreen standards ; deft, natural images ;

Occasionally flustered by fierce motion ; expensive ;

By Ian Morris

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

The Philips 32PFL9603D is an attractive TV for all, the maximum performance in smaller dimensions are looking for. Both the image and sound quality to speak for this device with its clear, fresh and attractive design.

excellent picture and sound quality, attractive design, useful features

Navigation Pad annoying on the remote, not exactly cheap, backlighting in dark scenes too bright

Measured in terms of its size, this TV is more expensive, but convinced by a great picture and sound quality.

FazitIm ersten Moment erscheint der Philips Cineos 32PFL9603D etwas überteuert. Aus diesem Grund macht der Cineos 32PFL9603 zumindest auf dem Papier einen hervorragenden Eindruck. Denn der Fernseher zählt ohne Zweifel zu den schönsten Produkten...
