Philips 42 PFL 7662 D/12

 

Pictures rendered on the Philips are radiant, and colors are faithfully portrayed; The TV presents pictures from 1080i HD playback with incredible clarity; The set is finished to a very high standard

The user cannot regulate the backlight; The corners of the screen show very slight brightening; Original cinematic material in 24p format has irregular judder

Both resolution and video processing of the Philips 42 PFL 7662 D/12 satisfy even the highest demands. However, the lack of a manually configurable backlight control remains a weakness.

To me, Philips is a company that has mastered the art of producing flat panels that dazzle in showrooms. When Colin and I started this website back in February 2007, the very first HDTV we went out and buy was the Philips 42PF9831D, because we were so...

Philips 42PFL7662D/05

 

Slim, Looks good on the wall, good sound quality. Perfect for Sky HD, Blueray or HD gaming

when using standard T.V or standard Sky the picture is blown up to the screen size, this gives a significant drop in picture quality, if closer than 3-4mts away you can see the pixels on the screen, so the further away from the T.V the better. You will...

Its not often I review anything but this is a brilliant TV. Only thing it lacks for me is Picture in Picture & a socket to connect to a PC which both come with cheaper TV's. However 1 componant & 2 HDMI sockets is useful (console/cable/spare). As is 2...

Philips 42PFL7662D: A damn good tv
