Philips 46PFL7505D/F7 7000 LED Series HDTV Reviewed

 

While the affordable HDTV market is more competitive than ever, few models available on the market today come with the performance level of the Philips 46PFL7505D/F7 7000 series LED HDTV....

The Philips' build quality, despite being an affordable HDTV, is first rate and features some design cues that make it appear far more upscale than it actually is ; The Philips' feature set is nice for the price and it possesses enough inputs,...

Philips has been in and out of favor with enthusiasts over the years and as such has been a player and then not a player in the US market, making them a shaky investment at best. Thankfully the Philips in question here is cheap enough that should...

Philips 55PFL7505D

 

All in all, the Philips 55PFL7505D does not compete well with the other high-end LED-backlit TVs on the market today. It may have passed muster in previous years, but its disappointing contrast ratio, high power consumption, lack of extra features and...

This LED TV features four built-in speakers instead of the standard two

Its contrast ratio in unbelievably low, and its power consumption is very high

Even though it boasts a screen size that reaches the high end of the scale, this TV falls short in display specifications and features.

GREAT FLAT PANEL TV!!

 

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BUY PHILLIPS. I HAVE BEEN BUYING THE PHILLIPS BRAND TV'S FOR YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. THEY ARE THE LARGEST PRODUCER OF TELEVISIONS IN THE WORLD BUT ARE NOT POPULAR IN THE USA FOR SOME REASON.

PICTURE HAS GREAT CONTRAST & DETAIL ; SOUND FROM TV SPEAKERS IS GREAT ; THIS TV IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF THE 27" TUBE TV IT REPLACED ; PRICE BEAT EVERYONE ELSE FOR THIS SIZE & FEATURES. $599 AT TARGET ON SALE ; CALLED PHILLIPS TECH SUPPORT FOR A LIT

NO PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS FLAT PANEL

Great led-lcd for the price!

 

Well, to me I don't think you can find too many led-lcd's of such quality for around the same price. Great buy!!

Bought this led-lcd at Target for about $650. Got it home and set it up and noticed that the picture is crisp and sharp. Dare I say...beautiful! The backlight of the led is bright! Sound is good! I haven't found another led-lcd for around this price

The only con is the sound when playing video games or watching blu-rays on my PS3. The sound syncs up a little bit slow with the games and movies...but after awhile you don't notice it much

Great TV for the price but not great for gaming.

 

Overall for everyday TV the set is really good, but if you like to play games at all then consider getting another TV

Great picture, decent sound, nice design, easy setup, easy updates

The biggest problem with this TV is the processing lag time when playing games. You won't notice it when using the TV speakers but I have tried watching Netflix through my PS3 with gaming headphones on and the audio is noticeably ahead of the video

This was such a great deal and we love everything about this TV, no complaints. Easy set up, easy to adjust color/brightness, etc. HD picture quality is just incredible, almost 3D effect sometimes. Fun to watch DVD's of movies we've already seen and...
