4.0 out of 5 stars High quality at a decent price, December 9, 2007

This review is from: Philips 19PFL5422D 19-Inch LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I picked this TV up at Best Buy a few days back. It was the only one that didn't have a box with damage. Paid $450 plus taxes. I spent a good hour or two fiddling with all the TVs in the same shelf that were from 19" to 26" HD sets. There were 26" of unknown brand that were the same price, slightly more or less, but all had either terrible sound or video, and the majority were of a lesser resolution than this TV.
It does have slight leakage from the backlights but only videophiles like myself will notice, and honestly its hardly noticeable.
I really like the automatic picture sizing feature, it does a great job resizing the screen with different video sources automatically and stretching them in ways that don't make the picture look bad or way off-scale. Some of the time I still resort to setting the mode manually but for the most part I live it alone.
The ATSC tuner works really good, switching between channels doesn't take very long compared to other sets. This thing really shines with true HD channels, even with the lousy cable system I have available to me, I was watching some mindblowing video about the birth of the solar system and it was absolutely amazing.
The TV is stylish and looks great. I used to have a 32" flat CRT TV which blew up after a voltage spike, and with the difference in picture quality and availability of digital stations I don't miss that big heavy bulky piece of furniture at all.
If you're looking for a TV thats great to watch and doesn't dominate your living area, or a TV for a bedroom/kitchen, this is a great choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Above Avarage, January 4, 2008

Rather Then bogging you down with conversational points I'll try and list the facts of this HDTV.

Video: The Video is excellent, Although with a 8ms you can see a slight blur while gaming. I noticed this while playing on a low def PS2 game. The only other complaint is the slight white hue around the screen. It's a bit distracting but nothing too serious.

Audio: The speakers with the set are generally good, for the size they're a bit above average. I hooked up some external speakers and that problem was easily solved.

Design: The TV looks great, hands down. But i did have some trouble with the Connection Ports facing downward, it can be a hassle to plug in your DVD player for the first time. But this is nothing too terrible.

Overall:

In retrospect I'm very happy with this purchase, It's worth the price. And overall an amazing HDTV.

Pros: Great video,Decent Sound,Good Design,Easy Install.
Cons: White backlight Hue, Awkward placement of connections, Slight Blur.

I had purchased several different HDTV's and wasn't too impressed with the other brands in this price range. But this one impressed me. The 1080p with HDMI was a pleasant surprise since the in-store display didn't mention it. Blu-ray movies look amazing on this set. I couldn't be happier with it. My only complaint is that even at maximum volume, it doesn't seem that loud. This may not be a problem for you, as I enjoy my TV at a higher level of volume. Apart from this issue, the sound is very nice on this set. It does have a headphone jack for private listening, which is a nice extra. The simulated surround sound is quite good as well. I bought two of these and both are working quite well without issue. It's very easy to set up and navigate menu's as well. A very well made product overall. You cannot go wrong with this set. Buy it.
