 Got Fooled, don't buy Philips November 25, 2008
Christy (Texas)
I bought this tv and was really happy with it, until 12 months later the picture suddenly went black. My warranty had just ended a couple of days ago, I called Philips and they will not do anything at all to help me fix it. I searched online trying to look for a solution and stumbled to a bunch of people with the same problem with the Philips LCD tvs. Read the complaints yourself at http://www.consumeraffairs.com/home_electronics/philips.html
 Great HD LCD TV! August 14, 2008

This is my second HD LCD TV and it is great! It has excellent colors, blacks and set design.
The speakers are rather weak, but I am comparing that to my HUGE sound system.
The remote is long, but has good buttons.
The set looks beautiful, except for the cheap looking shiny, plastic support on the base. Luckily it is mostly hidden in the shadow.
The set up menus are thorough but relatively easy to use.
Lately, while watching the Olympics in HD, I have noticed a bit of choppy motion blur. The high speed action gets a bit pixelly. But, with most movies and HD shows, I have not noticed it. The picture is smooth and crisp with great color.
This is probably not the best TV in the world, but I can't tell. And for the price, it is perfect!
buy it. August 12, 2008

This is my second HDTV. I bought a Vizio 32" and I love it, great set. I moved into a new house and just needed a bigger screen for the Great Room. I looked around for two weeks, comparing prices v. features and quality of picture. I found this set at Target for just over a thousand. It beat out the LG equivilant at Circuit City with ease. Set it up, wow. This is the finest television I have ever owned, and would take it over the Sony Bravia anyday. Of course, if the Bravia came down in price I might reconsider that statement. Anyways, the Phillips 42" LCD 1080p is amazing. Haven't had time to customize my settings, but the factory presets are enough to spure this review.

I researched quite a few 42" 1080p HDTV's before purchasing this one. My decision was between this Phillips and the LG 42LG50. I went with this one because it was cheaper, had all the same features and the many good reviews. I have not been disappointed. The TV is attractive and made of quality materials. Viewing is great from any angle. Both the SD and the HD picture on this TV is amazing.
I tweaked factory Picture settings a bit:
Contrast 100
Brightness 53
Color 65
Tint 0
Sharpness 4
Color Temperature Custom
R-WP 96
G-WP 117
B-WP 94
R-BL 3
G-BL 1
Perfect Pixel HD on
Dynamic contrast medium
Noise reduction maximum
Color enhancement maximum
Active control on
Light sensor on
Picture format automatic
This TV also has a fantastic Image Stretchng feature that adjusts the aspect ratio automatically depending on what you are watching, the picture never looks out of proportion, very nice.
In response to other reviews, I've found no problems with the picture, the audio is nothing great but I have sound running through my stereo receiver so I don't use the TV speakers. The TV remote does turn the TV completely off, standby is not a problem. The light sensor adjusts the picture for the light in the room, very nice feature. I updated the firmware using the USB port, no problem.
Two of my friends paid twice as much for their Sony's and mine looks just as good. Highly recommended.

My friend told me never buy any electronics from Philips but I decided to trust this giant brand. After I got this TV, the nightmare began. First, the DVI audio input not function properly. Second, I really doubt this is a 1080p HDTV. The resolution was so horrible after I connect my computer to HDMI input on TV. Third, the color looks weird on red. It is even worse than my old Panasonic 720p TV. After couple hours adjustments, I had no choice but returned this TV. Right now, I feel such a fool not listening to my friend. Anyway, it is totally wasting of time and money.
