3.0 out of 5 stars nice tv but horrible high pitched noise/ reflective screen, November 4, 2003

By

This review is from: Philips 27PT543S 27" TV (Electronics)

We bought this tv after our 20 yr old one quit. We were so excited to get a new one, did lots of research, and got this one at Best Buy. Compared to the Toshiba, which I really wanted, this had superior picture quality and sound. We got the set home, set it up, and almost immediately, this high-pitched noise comes from the back of the tv, and boy is it annoying! I called the company, who, after I convinced the noise was heard at least 10 feet away, (and over shows) recommended a local tv repair shop. I am so very disappointed with this noise. The only other complaint I have about it is the mirror-like screen - you can see nearly everything reflected back from the tv monitor, so we have to turn out some lights to be able to see the picture more clearly. Great tv otherwise.

1.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!!!!, March 31, 2005

Hector (Houston TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips 27PT543S 27" TV (Electronics)

My wife and I received this TX as a wedding present. I had read the reviews and was convinced that we should return it and save ourselves the trouble, but b/c it was an online purchase, it was too much of a hassle to mess with. After about 1 week the TV would not turn on with the remote, you had to push the on/off button on the unit several times before it would sometinmes work. The Tv turns off and on randomly without notice. It was quit working all together and we have no warranty and no means to return. We have had the tv a total of 3 months. I feel sorry for our family members who purchased the TV b/c they waisted their money and now we have to waste our. Thanks for nothing Phillips, we will never buy anything made by you again.

This review is from: Philips 27PT543S 27" TV (Electronics)

philips tv's have the best picture in the world-period!!although there have been these reported problems with this tv if you look at reviews of even the much more expensive sony's you will see similiar problems reported.What should really happen is manufacturers should keep track of the percentage of returned-or defective products and then release that to the public.reading anecdotal reports online really hurts their business(at least with me).Since I've read of problems with alot of tv's(even ones 10 times the price of this one)I have determined that it may be risky to buy an expensive tv-and even more risky by mail.If manufacturers included free in home repair(or inexpensive for a cheap set like this)I would have much more confidence and would buy this tv and possibly even much more expensive ones in a MINUTE!!!.As to this tv it has the best color,best contrast,and has perfect focus(not blurry)even on the edges,unlike toshiba etc.(I'm refering to NON flat screen tv's).I have researched tv's for 20 years and philips has always had the best picture(the original sony trinitrons were good but philips has been the most consistent).unfortunately they may have had production problems as described here(as most manufacturers have if you read reviews).If the reviews indicate more of a problem it is probably only 5% max more than any other manufacturer,and therefore may be worth the risk considering this tv is far better than any other non flat screen(and even many flat screen)tv's.without any large # of verifiable complaints it is basically impossible to really determine whether one brand is any worse than any other.If you want to be safer buy from a local dealer--smaller local dealers are usually better than larger dealers like best buy,cc etc in helping you if you have a problem.
