Handles standard-definition content very well, USB connectivity, strong audio system, great price for the features offered

Only 720p resolution, limited to two HDMI inputs, relatively poor viewing angles

This is email I sent to Phillips customer service….

First of all, Standard Def looks better on this tv than most $3000 sets. The sound quality is also good. Standard 480p dvd's look very clear. Hd performance is nice, but it will not blow you away. It produces nice blacks and with some tweaking it will...

Contrast could be better. You don't get much detail out of dark scenes. The scaling on this tv is annoying. At closer distances artifacts are extremely obvious, more so than higher quality sets. It will often stretch the image off the screen or make it...

The initial setup of the TV is very user friendly, no need of technical knowledge to configure the the best picture you can get from this unit. I love the ASCII TV tuner. I can get some extra channels from digital signals and local HDTV channels as...

The output audio is AV instead of regular RCAs. That's a little off the universal audio inputs from home theatre units so I had to buy an extra adapter. Shipping people not good in my area, the driver did not want to wait for me to check the unit in...

I felt that the TV was all that I expected. It was very easy to put together and get running. The picture was very good and the speakers were the best I have had from a TV. I really thought this product was a great buy for what I paid.

None!!

The black trim(not the casing for the screen, but the black trim intergrated ON the screen) is extremely easy to scratch, I rubbed it with a napkin to remove a fingerprint and was instead repaid with a horrid series of scratches. Also on programming...

Great high definition picture, stunning looks and terrific value. The audio is ok and serves its purpose.

Heavier than LCD TVs but lighter than my old 36"" CRT.

Simply Put Awesome TV! Even at 50 Contrast, and color, (Recommended For first 200 hours on Ploasmas) Still a Very Stunning picture! Audio was aslo Good to Excellent! Rivaled my older 36"" Sony XBR CRT. Simple setup and the base is beauiful!, although I...

Hmm The only thing I can think of is the Menu system is a little spartan in features, and the Picture does not format properly on The Science Channel leaving Black bars on the side, plus when you Stop a DVD then resume it from an Upconvert DVD player,...
