42PFL7432D/37

The first thing you'll notice about the Philips 42PFL7432D/37 (after struggling to plug your HDMI cable into a connector that's facing down and nearly impossible to see) is its Ambilight--two LEDs behind the set that bounce light off your back wall to...

Excellent menu setup Cool ambient light feature

Mediocre picture quality

Philips's remote is long, thin, and backlit, and it has plenty of empty space around its few buttons. But that ease of use comes at a cost: The remote isn't programmable

Bill Of Goods

We purchased the Philips Ambilight model number 47PFL7432D/37 in August of 2007 from Best Buy, and yesterday, September 10th 2010, it simply stopped working (the set no longer powers on -- it "clicks" like it is on, but there's no picture). So, we got...

No Regrets

I did quite a bit of research prior to making this purchase and am very pleased with the decision. The picture quality is excellent! I've had friends over that also have flat panel TVs and they all say our picture looks better than theirs. I also...

Happiness is a Philips television ....

Bought our Philips August 2008. Our first problem was that it kept turning itself on and off. In November 2008, a Philips technician advised us of the software update which we downloaded from their web site onto a flash drive. We then plugged the...

Product Specifications

Boasting the highest resolution available for consumers, advanced picture processing and unrivaled style, Philips' Ambilight FlatTVs deliver powerful performance that will impress today's most demanding consumers. Philips' new Ambilight LCD FlatTVs boast 1080p resolution, Perfect Pixel HD Engine to maximize 1080p content for the best picture, Pixel Plus 3 HD, Digital Natural Motion and ClearLCD, the peak of high-definition (HD) for today's demanding consumer.Ambilight Full Surround emits light from the left, right, top and bottom of the screen. This "surround-sight" effect allows consumers to enjoy a visual extension from all sides of the screen while creating a more relaxing entertainment experience. In addition, the entire display is surrounded by an integrated canvas that makes the screen appear to be floating when hung on the wall, producing a dramatic, saturated color effect. The canvas also frees consumers to place the set wherever they desire, regardless of the color or surface of the wall.
