Very Disappointing Purchase & My Last From Philips

I bought this TV in November 2007. My immediate problem was that the HDMI connection did not work. After weeks of calls with Philips, they eventually agreed to replace the set with a reconditioned one. Now, when powering up, the speakers crack and...
