Never a Philips for me again

I guess i'm not so lucky with my Philips tv's as the other reviewers. I bought my big screen tv at the end of 2001, all well until beginning of 2004, picture and colors got worse and worse, started jumping on stand-by, picture started to get smaller...

Super wide viewing angle!

 

Super wide viewing angle!

I have the 64" version of this TV. This is the best projection TV I've ever seen. It blows away all those that you see at sprts bars. The viewing angle is wide which allows a lot of people to watch at the same time without having to crowd directly...

Product Specifications

Enjoy a superior home cinema picture with this Philips 64" Rear Projection television. Combining multiple stretch technologies, CTI, tint correction, and more, this set responds to signal by adjusting saturation and correction levels for sharper colors and noise-free images. Using Delta 77/78 lens, the undisputed industry standard in optics, the high-performance lens system achieves more consistent edge-to-edge brightness and contrast with a dramatically reduced focal length - result is crisp, well-defined large screen images and slim cabinet design. Component Video Input supports advanced video input (such as DVD) for superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise surpassing even that of S-Video! Removable Protective Filter provides substantial increase in visual contrast and prevents serious accidental damage to the delicate front lenticular screen. It's almost like having a full-time bodyguard watching over your investment. AutoSound Plus instantly optimizes sound to satisfy any program situation. Select from one of four factory settings including movies, music, voice, or personal with a variety of combination of ultra bass, treble, and automatic volume leveling to suit any taste.
