Philips 42PFL3603D - 42" Diagonal Class FlatTV LCD TV - 1080p 1920 x 1080

I loved my first Philips TV. the only thing I hate is that they have to display the Philips logo when you turn it ion. I never had an issue with it and now 6 years later it's still working but the remote 'eye' pooped out and it doesn't work anymore. I can turn it on/off, switch channels, etc via the side panel. The only reason why I'm giving a 3 star ease of use is because the side panel controls doesn't have a source button and now I cannot switch the source if I want to switch to my dvd, playstation players etc. Still, for 6 years of use it's a great product.

I did a lot of research on HD/LCDs & narrowed the field to the Philips and Sony Bravia. We went with the Philips 42" because of the many features it has, including 3-HDMI connections. After we got it hooked up we were really taken with the outstanding picture and sound. I especially liked the ease of changing the many picture and sound options. Our son told us of Philips' lead in the creation of the DVD & players. I am impressed with their HD/LCD Tvs - especially ours. I highly recommend this awesome TV!

This was a gift. Good picture but within a week the screen went blank. After spending some time online with Philips they told me it had to be sent in for repairs, so we returned it and purchased another brand instead. Quite a hassle packing it back up and returning it.

I love the tv, great picture, and great sound!! I've had it for only three weeks and already encountered a problem. It doesn't make me think any less of the tv or brand though. There is something wrong with the speaker, it makes a light ringing noise when the tv is on. If I mute the tv the sound goes away and same if I turn it off. I called Phillip's and they scheduled someone to come out just within a few days. It's not a big deal, especially for the price!!! I've never heard anything bad about Phillip's. Must have!!!

BUY IT WHILE YOU CAN!!! There is a whole lot more to say about this TV set. But I would get to the core. 29000:1 contrast ratio, awesome sound, pixel perfect picture, great black finish and yes, dirt cheap, under $1,000. Check it out at your local best buy, they sell it for $1,300.
