Philips 50PF7521D

 

This monstrous screen with its stylish glossy black bezel wouldn't embarrass a screen twice as expensive

Great price, Features aplenty

Some picture noise

Also, SD handling results in an excessive reduction in various picture elements, including sharpness, colour toning and noise levels - not least because this version of Pixel Plus generates more side effects with lower-quality sources

Philips 50PF7521D/10 Widescreen flat TV 50

 

The 50PF7521D is not a bad looker for such a cheapie

Superb value, Easy to set up and use

Issues when switching from SD to HD, Some dithering visible under motion

The dithering effect occurs more frequently during standard-def viewing, with which we also noticed that while the older generation of Pixel Plus at work certainly makes standard-def pictures look sharp, it also makes them look a touch grainy. Plus...

Uniquely expansive though Philips' flat TV range is, we still didn't expect to find this premium manufacturer providing such a cheap 50-inch plasma option. But we're certainly not complaining - as long as the £1,300 50PF7521D isn't rubbish, of course

Price that's hard to beat, Reasonable features, Surprising HD pictures

Problems with skin tones

This 50-inch plasma TV breaks new pricing ground - and the compromises aren't as hard to swallow as you would think
