Default settings are not good ; Blacks could be darker (but thats LCD for you) ; Are all the picture enhancers necessary ; No video streaming, I dont see why it couldn't if Philips wanted
Philips 42PFL9703D
100hz leaves some to be desired. but all in all with its 2 ms response rate and wide colour gamut it provides colours as good as sony with none of the lag. 3 yr warranty provides good piece of mind, and usb and ethernet are welcome extras. having compared...
2ms ; 100hz ; usb ; ethernet ; 3yr ; european
