Es una perdida de dinero, no compres una como esta.

costumer service y lo que intento el tipo fue de venderme otra igual por $400 dolares, y me dio un numero para que yo llamara para reparar mi tv, diciendome que ellos no podian hacerse responsables, aun sabiendo que es un problema frecuente de este...

Yo compre una hace poco mas de 12 meses y ha sido la peor compra que he realizado,cuando cambio de canal, pierde resolucion, a veces la pantalla cambia a verde, purpura o simplemente se pone

negra, ademas cuando la apago se queda encendida la luz del frente y no la puedes volver a encender, tienes que ir atras del tv, desconectarla y volver a conectar despues de unos segundos.Llame a

Major pile of garbage

This was the biggest joke of a TV that I ever have purchased, I strongly suggest against purchasing one of these, they are junk. I had another Phillips TV some 22 years ago and it to was nothing but problems, I will never purchase another in this life...

There are no Pro's

Every time you turn this TV on, it takes up to 5 minutes to get a picture, maybe, green screen, black screen, change resolution screen, it is a crap shoot. Also happens when changing channel, you spend most of your time turning it off and back on

Great picture quality! Not so incredible sound...

Great picture quality Full HD 1080p, really, this TV has a superb image quality, also offer a 120Hz subfield, it really produces sharp and great motion even in SD, contrast and brightness are acceptable, 3 x HDMI, 1 x component, 2 x standard video-in, 1 x

Only thing here is the sound quality, even if it's "incredible surround" sound quality is a mixed bag, min. frequecies for the loudspeaker is <120 Hz,(good enough for tv but watching DVD's or bluerays is awfull due to lack of deep frequencies) instead

Buyer Beware - Only lasted 18 Months

I have this TV and the picture just went out. I have sound, but no picture at all, not even the menu. And, of course, Philips only has a 12 month warranty. The nearest repair shop is 90 miles away and the part, labor, and gas will result in more than...

Short life span

We bought this model last year on special pricing, and exactly one year to the day the picture stopped working. Fortunately I registered the TV and called immediately. We were given the option to get it fixed locally (parts and labor paid for by...
