Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Philips 15PF8946 15-inch HDTV-ready flat-panel LCD TV is more than great looks. The perfect size for a small space, the less-than-3-inch-thick display provides an excellent audio/visual experience with features like Crystal Clear III, Active Control, Virtual Dolby Surround, and unique flat speakers. It even has a built-in FM radio tuner so you can listen to all your favorite radio channels, and up to 40 station presets make sure you tune in fast.
The high-definition (HD tuner not included), 1,024 x 768 XGA LCD panel uses the latest panel technology, such as Philips' proprietary Crystal Clear package of innovations featuring a 3D digital comb filter (eliminates dot crawl and color bleeding, enhancing fine detail, cleaning up image outlines, and removing most extraneous colors), Dynamic Contrast for deep blacks and pure whites, and green and blue color enhancement. The high 400:1 contrast ratio gives you better subtle color details and the ability to see the picture in bright light conditions, and the quick 16-millisecond response time means it's capable of handling fast-moving action--even 3D games--without image blur or lag. Active Control delivers the best picture setting, any time, from any source. The incoming signal is automatically analyzed and key picture settings, like sharpness, color, and contrast, are adjusted. The 4:3 aspect ratio is better for viewing analog broadcast TV and pan-and-scan-formatted video, but the TV has a 16:9 compressed picture mode so you can have a more realistic cinema experience.
Built-in flat speakers (4 watts per channel) sit on either side of the active-matrix TFT LCD, giving you full stereo sound without needing to connect to an external speaker system. Virtual Dolby surround-sound support simulates cinema surround-sound effects without the need for rear speakers. Philips' Smart Listening auto volume leveling eliminates drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break.
Other features include 100 preset channels, Autostore for easy tuning, Auto Picture (five modes give you picture settings for different types of programming), Auto Sound (four modes to tailor the TV sound to enhance what you're watching), multilanguage onscreen display, sleep timer, integrated NTSC tuner and RF jack for terrestrial reception, ergonomic remote control, and an antireflective screen.
Want to do more than just watch TV? The 15PF8946 has an FM antenna connector for getting better reception, a rear composite input, and a component input that helps minimize digital and line-scan artifacts during DVD playback. And, because the TV is progressive scan, it can take advantage of the more filmlike images produced by progressive-scan DVD players. It has a VGA input too, which receives the signal from your PC so you can use it as a TV and a PC monitor. A set of side jacks has a composite A/V input with S-video, a mini headphone jack, and an audio in for using the TV's speakers with your PC.

I LOVE it.,

This review is from: Philips 15PF8946 15" HDTV-Ready Flat Panel TV (Electronics)
I haven't tried it with my computer, but as a TV I love it. Good sound, good picture, nice looking. The one down side is that if you are laying below the TV, the color looks really dark but you can adjust it easily by changing the TV setting with the remote. It is very minor and other than that, I really enjoy this TV.
