5.0 out of 5 stars
Great LCD TV! 120 Hz and HD look awesome..., July 22, 2008
This review is from: Philips 47PFL7403D/27 47-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Great TV - the 120 Hz 'perfect pixel' leads to beautiful visuals and high-speed motion. It looks even better mounted on the wall. Highly recommended - the 4 HDMI inputs are great if you have a cable box and PS3/Blu-Ray player, as well as other gizmos. The side inputs will come in handy, although I haven't used them yet.
Only thing I wish is that it had a VGA input for my computer. oh well. All in all, a good set.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing Image, Good Sound, Great Value, December 25, 2008
This review is from: Philips 47PFL7403D/27 47-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
This is one of the most impressive images on a flat screen I have seen We are fortunate enough to own a Panasonic 50 inch Vierra 1080p plasma, a very new Sony 40 LCD 1080p 60 hz, a vizio (50 and 32 1080i) and now this. Connected to a Direct TV HD signal via HDMI it is the most impressive, clear, life like picture of any of the above tvs with similar sources/inputs. It has very good speakers, not great, but better than any other in our house.
Wonderful value. It has a remote of lesser feeling quality, but it works fine.
Great Value. It may need a firmware to update bring it to its best. These are easy to do, simply download the update onto a memory sitck via usb and connect it to the tv via the usb input. Enjoy, I will look at philips first next purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Philips 120Hz 47inch TV, October 17, 2008
This review is from: Philips 47PFL7403D/27 47-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (Electronics)
The picture quality is definetly 5 stars. I do not have cable or satellite and am in awe of the picture quality I get from the digital stations from my antenna. Watching DVD movies with an HDMI compatible player was phenomenal. If you just need to have the best picture for watching TV, sports, movies this is great.
The reason I gave it four stars.
1. Remote : Very cheapish for the price of the TV. It can not be programmed to run anything but your TV. There are programmable remotes out there for around $35 so this is not the main reason.
2. Switching channels : Using the remote, when you type in the channel you want to go to the numbers on the screen are very small for such a large screen size. Also, when just using the channel up button or down button it takes a little time (<1s) to "get the picture" but the channel does not show up on the screen until the picture does.
3. Menu : Is easy to navigate
4. Output: There is no output of video, so I can not record shows onto a VCR. Also the output for sound is one digital RCA type (outputs great dolby 5.1 from digital broadcast TV), so you better make sure your reciever has this on it for your surround sound system. Mine had it for my DVD player and other components, but not for TV. One plus here is that I can watch the TV, sound comes into my reciever on the DVD setting, and when I put a DVD in to play I do not have to switch the reciever to DVD. That actually is pretty great.
5. Options : This is why I gave it 4 stars. It finds station great and labels them accordingly with the call letters of the station. Bad thing is I want to lable them so I know I am watching NBC, CBS, ABC. You get the picture. I would have loved to name them NBC-1, so I know where my antenna is supposed to point to get these stations. Not a bad minus but my old analog television even had this.
