Philips 52" Full HD 1080P LCD HDTV with Built-in Tuner, 52PFL3603D/27

After 14 years, several moves, couple different states, we are still rocking!!!! Love this tv! I've only replaced the remote!

Largest cons are the lack of audio out options. There is a headphone jack and a SPDIF jack only. Really needs more for external a/V hookups. Also when setting up an hdmi connection it tries to include 5.1 for stereo spkrs. Pros : Great picture 4 hdmi ports and energy star compliant.

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 bought this tv in December 2008 and find that it works very well. Picture quality is excellent. Sound is not very good but you can add your home theater and it great. Price was good. Overall I think it's a good product for those of you who enjoy watching the big screen.

Arrived on time, ship-to-store worked flawlessly. Was interesting getting the 118 pound box up the stairs, but my wife and I managed. With amplified rabbit ears, was able to "register" 14 analog and 15 digital stations (pre-DTV transition on 1/23/2009). Many of the analog signals (most of which are ~60 miles away) are poor, but the digital ones, when there, are stable and gorgeous. With such weak field strengths, however, there is no single place where all the digital channels come in. Moreover, for those not detected by the set upon installation, it is very tricky to find them, as one must set the TV to the "real" digital channel, not the one advertised. For example. PBS is analog channel 30, and its digital signal is very weak. To force the TV to tune it, you have to know that the digital signal is actually on channel 21, and set the TV to 21 while messing around with the antenna until you find the "good spot". Then, once registered, it assigns the digital channel to 30.1 as it is supposed to do. This process can be quite confusing, but I suspect it is normal for all such HDTV sets, so it is just a peeve, not a comparative demerit. The set runs a bit warm to the touch, and its speakers (the 3603 has only the 20 watt option) are a bit tinny, but one can connect larger speakers and they sound fine. With the picture formatting on "Automatic" the set sometimes changes its mind about the desired stretching in the middle of a movie or show, but it's not very annoying, and one can always choose a particular format when will remain stable. Color rendition is good, plenty of brightness even in a sun-splashed living room. All in all, a good set and a good bargain at $1750.
