By Alex Jennings (cnet.co.uk)

Using image processing and Philips' Ambilight technologies, the picture quality on the 47PFL9632D is extraordinary. This TV produces levels of sharpness, purity, motion clarity and fluidity that, for its price range, are unprecedented in the LCD world ...

Picture quality is generally outstanding ; great looks ; Ambilight ; good connectivity ; immense feature count ;

Philips Cineos 42PFL9632D

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

You could see the light with Philips' Cineos 42PFL9632D. With Ambilight technology improving blacks and colours on the screen, you'll get a refined and detailed picture with this flat panel TV. Plus, you'll hear decent quality sound for day-to-day ...

Philips 47PFL9632D

By 1r0nf15t (cnet.com.au)

The sheer detail that this screen shows is incredible to the point where movies that used to be believable now have obvious looking special effects.

Very bright with a strong contrast ratio and plenty of features. Took all of about 4 minutes to set it up including lifting it onto the tv table. The inbuilt speakers actually have some merit ;

The are still some problems with the true motion settings making movies look unnatural and cartoonish ; I do notice ghosting occurring in fast motion where there is a high amount of contrast ;

Philips 42PFL9632D Ambilight TV

By techno girl (cnet.com.au)

Had mine for three months now. had a few glitches in the beginning but hopefully all fixed now.

Great clear picture ; love the 100htz ; Blue ray from my ps3 is crystal clear ; didnt notice any problems with blacks or trailing very happy with my buy and sad philips are leaving the tv game ;

Just the few days where channel ten and ABC wouldnt work kept on pixeling out. but philips fixed it. was very frustrating at the time though ; Takes a while to turn on ;
