Philips 47PFL9632D

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 52PFL9632D

By Rob Gillman (cnet.co.uk)

The 52-inch Philips Cineos 52PFL9632D models impresses, and not just with its Ambilight technology. It boasts plenty of connectivity and its 'Full HD' resolution means that every pixel of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies is on display. Feed it a diet of hi ...

Excellent motion handling and black levels ; hi-def connectivity

No PC input ; 4:3 material often has to be stretched out

If big, beautiful hi-def pictures are what you're after, this 52-incher delivers the goods. Bold but realistic colours, strong black levels and the smoothest motion we've seen on an LCD, married with good connectivity and design, make this one of the ...

Philips' Aurea TV may be grabbing the headlines and plaudits, but in its own...

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 ...

Picture quality ; sound quality, styling ; Ambilight

Price ; lack of PC input ; picture processing looks bad at times

The Philips Cineos 42PFL9632D is a great TV with superb picture quality and the addition of Ambilight -- if you like that sort of thing. Our only major complaint is that some of the picture processing distorts the otherwise excellent image quality

The good news with this Philips Cineos 42PFL9632D TV is that if you don't...

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
