Customer Review

I did a tremendous amount of research before I bought this HD, including scouring amazon customer feedback, CNet, and Consumer Reports, and so far, after three weeks, the Philips has lived up to the great reviews. The picture is terrific, it’s easily customizable without being a brain-teaser and set-up was a breeze. It also glossy and sleek, while the screen is thankfully glare-free. I do really, really, really wish it came in white, though. Overall, you can’t find a better HDTV for the price.

Unlike other reviewers, I find the sound fine despite the speakers being in the back but then, I’ve kept mine on the stand about 18 inches from the wall and not tucked in a media cabinet. I agree that the remote should have some sort of backlighting b/c until you memorize the buttons you’ll need a flashlight to adjust format, sound, etc…

A couple of general buying tips: despite what manufacturers and reviewers may tell you, 32″ is a perfectly sized TV for the living room. My general viewing range is about 10-12 feet and I wouldn’t want a TV any larger. Also, don’t waste your money on 1040p for TV’s less than 40″–the higher resolution doesn’t register at the smaller sizes. Reputable reviewers say that 720p ( like the Philips) is exactly as good for 32″ and I agree.

Oh and one other thing: To take advantage of HD I hiked over to my local cable provider’s payment center and replaced my two year old digital cable box with an HD digital box. It’s free and totally worth the trouble. You’ll get better HD features, channels, and flexibility of resolution.

Sweet TV - FatOrangeTabby - Lansing, MI
We purchased this TV as a backup for our 46″ Samsung DLP. The color wheel and lamp in that TV are constantly going bad on us and we are so happy to have purchased this one. The LCD is so much more reliable! This TV has a great picture and looks really sharp in our bedroom when it’s not standing in for the other in our living room. We have not had a single problem with it in two years. Video games look great on it, as do DVDs. The remote could be a little better. Sometimes it seems like the TV is not very responsive when you press a button on the remote, but it’s something I can live with. The sound quality isn’t the best. I have to turn it up pretty loud to hear it over our elliptical machine when I’m using it. Overall, I’m very satisfied and I would definitely buy both a Phillips TV and an LCD TV again.

Great TV - J. Bishop - Cincinnati, OH USA
I am very happy with the Phillips 32″ HDTV. Bought mine at Wal-Mart and the most important factor to me was picture quality. The Phillips picture was sharper than the Samsung, Sony, or Vizio 720p HDTV’s. People have complained about the sound and I don’t think it is all that bad. Setup and controls are very easy to use. I think it’s a great HDTV for the price (I paid 9.00)!
