Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Philips 42-inch 42FD9954 TV offers advanced plasma display technology and enhanced audio with a built-in 7-band equalizer--all in a package that's less than 4 inches deep. It has a wide selection of connectivity options, including DVI and VGA (PC) inputs, for all your home theater needs. The HD-ready 42FD9954 also features an anti-reflective screen, a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 1,024 x 1024 pixel resolution, 160-degree viewing angles, and a wall mount.
The 42FD9954 features Philips' plasma ALiS (Alternative Lighting of Surfaces) technology, which increases vertical resolution without sacrificing brightness for better picture performance from any source, producing a full 1080i resolution. The high light output of this set--1,000 cd/m2 (candelas per square meter)--delivers exceptional detail even in well-lit rooms. It also has a 1,000:1 contrast ratio for increased picture depth, which results in greater dimensionality and a less washed-out picture. Other features include a 5-level autopicture function (soft, natural, rich, personal, and multimedia), picture-in-picture mode (PIP), tri-mode tint control, and a fanless design for less distraction during quiet film moments.
This set has a built-in 181-channel tuner, though you will need an HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. The 30-watt RMS stereo speakers (15-watts per channel) offer lifelike sound. The 42FD9954 has a DVI-d input, VGA input, 1 HD component input, 1 SD component input, SVHS input, 2 composite A/V inputs, 1 stereo A/V output, a subwoofer output, and headphone jack.

Great HDTV Viewing!,

This review is from: Philips 42FD9954 42-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HD-Ready TV (Electronics)
This TV is great overall. I am extremely happy with the picture quality when using it under HD. Its absolutely unbeliveable!! The drawback is Time Warner only has about 13 HD channels, everything else is in SD. Under a SD signal the TV is an average performer (which is why I gave it 4 stars & not 5). The picture does get grainy and my $300 TV looks much better than this set! But it is still "bearable".
I did go down to a local electronics store and do a comparision of this set against the leading brands (under HD signal), and i must say it was just as good or even better than some of those 5K+ TV's out there. Its works great when hooked up to my pc, I did have to go out and get a decent video card with a DVI out. The picture quality is simply great. Bottom Line: Buy it! But just be prepared to be patient until more 'n more programs get broadcast in HD. Blog: [...]

Great experience from start to finish.,

This review is from: Philips 42FD9954 42-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HD-Ready TV (Electronics)
This is the nicest and thinest TV I have ever seen, and now owned. The colors are awsome, and everything is very familiar if you have owned a TV in the past, except for how thin this unit is. We bought this to give ourselves more room, and didn't actually realize how much room until the old 32" Tube TV was gone. We got to get rid of the TV stand, and the huge TV and now have a nice small unit that we can hang on the wall. Philips makes awsome product, and we have had a grat experience from Amzon throughout the entire process.

Great panel. Screwed up inputs,
This review is from: Philips 42FD9954 42-Inch Plasma Flat-Panel HD-Ready TV (Electronics)
The box says dual component HD inputs. The set has only one set of component inputs. The DVI-D port does not support HDCP so it will not work with any new DVD player and set top boxes with DVI output since most have HDCP protection on them.
I bought this from a local store (Fry's), returned it. Philips' tech support is clueless about their own technology. The wonders of outsourcing! I would not buy this TV since it is not "future proof". No DVI-HDCP and no HDMI. DVI input works for PC only. WTF would someone buy an expensice plasma for a computer.
