Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works great.

 

This TV has excellent picture quality, even on NTSC analog. The USB connector lets you do slideshows with your pictures or play your MP3 music

No VGA input

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Above average LCD

 

I bought my TV at Target for $750. My friend has the Samsung is in the same catagory as mine. Yes, his is better. But he paid $1400 for a 46"and I paid $750 for a 42". For the price, I would take my TV.

The TV's overall picture quality is good. It is very hard to tell the difference in quality from a Samsung unless they are next to each other. It has 4 hdmi inputs. For the price this TV is excellent, but it lacks features that higher priced TV's have

I have two big complaints although I won't complain for the price. First, the TV lacks any kind of detail picture adjustment. It only had tint and pictures. I would like it if you could adjust it like a computer monitor. Second, No DVI inputs but no...

Better than average.

 

I was able to compare the TV side-by-side with other brands at a store. Better brightness than Vizio, better picture quality than Sanyo, but not quite as good as Samsung and Sony, but much lower cost than those brands. Plenty of connection options

1 dead blue pixel. I didn't see it until I got to a "No Signal" screen. I do not see it when I am further than 4 feet away though ; The connectors on the back should be 90 degrees to the wall. If I decide to wall mount it, it will become an issue

AIT Delivery Stinks

 

Newegg has always had great customer service in my experience, but it seems for large items they use AIT, who in turn hands it off to a local shipping company. These three entities don't seem to communicate with each other. Maybe I just had a bad...

The TV itself is great

AIT In Home Delivery" was a nightmare for me. First, they would only deliver during the day, and since I work I had to pick it up after hours. The first set I received was damaged. Newegg told me that UPS would call and arrange to pick it up, and that...

Ridiculously Awesome TV

 

I actually bought this TV for $800 on a private sale, so for the amount i paid it is a goldmine.

1. This TV has great picture quality. No cut corners on this. Clean quality picture ; 2. There is a ton of inputs. Total of 4 HDMI inputs. Each input has its own separate menu. So i can run separate settings for TV viewing, a setting for my 360, and...

Not really much. Some people complain about the remote, or not having as many functions as they want straight on the remote, but honestly, its simple, well laid out, and has every button i need (power, volume, channel, menu, and source) ; It has a...

Awesome Picture Quality

 

AIT shipping was slow. But worth the wait for the deal on the TV.

Awesome picture quality. Great contrast. Looks amazing in 1080p. Both my 360 and my PC look great on it. Sound is very good for built in speakers. Lots of inputs

Very faint humm of the TV's power supply. You have to aim the remote just right to get it to work. No VGA support. (DVI works with the right cable)

It worked Great - for about 11 Days

 

Distorted on 3/11. I contacted Philips service on 3/12. Philips and their service agent replaced the PCB board (took 4 weeks for the part to come in, they told me 7-14 days max when ordered) on 4/14, and it did not fix the problem. After I make several...

Great picture for the price while it worked

Terrible customer service

nice tv

 

Maybe? ...Philips. I can recommend a Philips for 1600 and a Sony for 3000 the man said. I have a good deal for the Philips. It is your lucky day. The price, well my budget was around 1500. So that was okay. I bought the Philips Flat TV 52 PLF 3603 D...
