Philips 42PFL7603D

By (fwd.five.tv)

The Philips 42PFL7603D is the ultimate flat TV from Philips. Its 106-centimetre screen boasts a 1920x1080 resolution. It uses various technologies such as the Natural Motion, which eliminates flickering, thus, creating equal movements. It also has the ...

By Sam Kieldsen (homecinemachoice.com)

Philips Ambilight 42PFL7603 (42-inch LCD)

By Blurking (asia.cnet.com)

If it wasn't for the incompatibility problem with my Nakamichi Soundspace 10 using component out, I would have given this TV a higher rating.

Good value for its money (if you can get a discount on it)

Not compatible with my Nakamichi Soundspace 10, only one component input
