Terrific picture!
This television has a great picture. There is a special setting that allows you to easily adjust the picture settings depending on the type of program you are watching. It also has a clock that you can set as an alarm, a great feature if you use this TV in the bedroom. If they made it in white, I would get one for my kitchen too!

DO NOT BUY if you plan to use for more than 5 years!
You want a TV that'll work for a year or two? Then this is the TV for you! Great, adjustable picture, great sound, good price. But, be warned, you might just have a different opinion of this set 5 years later. See, when I first bought it, it worked perfectly. But now it has become a huge frustration. For seemingly no reason, the TV will automatically...

You want a TV that'll work for a year or two? Then this is the TV for you! Great, adjustable picture, great sound, good price.But, be warned, you might just have a different opinion of this set 5 years later. See, when I first bought it, it worked perfectly. But now it has become a huge frustration. For seemingly no reason, the TV will automatically shutoff all of the time. So, what do you do? You turn it back on. 8-10 seconds later, it shuts off again. You turn it on, it shuts off, on, off, on, off!!! Finally you get so frustrated that you leave the thing off! It's not an overheating thing, as it can do this a few seconds after initially turning the set on. I've even gone as far as to set up a fan next to the thing, but it doesn't help the problem. It's not a connection problem as the Philips website suggests. I've checked all of the connections. It seems to do it more when there is brighter colors on the screen, but adjusting the picture to make it very dim doesn't help the problem. Search the internet, you'll find others with the same exact problem with this set. The best I can figure out is that it has something to do with some feature in the TV that automatically shuts it off when it starts to emit dangerous levels of X-rays. Yes, you read that right. Not only is this a nonfunctioning and annoying TV, but it may also be dangerous!! Really, they don't make em like they used to, or at least Philips doesn't. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a TV to work for more than 5 years. Now, I can either go through the trouble of fixing this thing, or spend about as much money on a new set. And I can guarantee you this: I won't be buying another Philips TV!! |
