Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

When larger-than-life movie viewing is in question, Philips' monster 60-inch 60PP9202 poses a clear answer. The set is tailor-made for rendering the latest high-definition broadcast programming with clarity and vivid color. The standard aspect-ratio (4:3) set delivers 1080i high-definition signals at full resolution when connected to an optional digital set-top box. Now you'll be able to revel in every drop of water, each soaring aerial shot in your favorite programming, whether off-air HDTV broadcasts or DVDs played through top-of-the-line progressive-scan DVD players. Technologies like 35-point digital convergence, Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC, which automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments to defray image burn-in), and Active Control (which continuously analyzes the picture to control digital noise reduction and sharpness) enhance the picture in subtle but meaningful ways. Other features include picture-in-picture and a protective screen filter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture for the price, easy to use, only 1 HD tuner, March 17, 2004
By 
jbowe (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips 60PP9202 Epic 60" HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
Update: Had a convergence problem where the red went all out of whack. Service guy came and fixed it with a new IC for about $250 (still cheaper than the extended warranty...). Apparently this can be common with many projection TVs.

Picture is still great after 2 years!!

Original review:
This TV is huge and is great for anyone that wants a big screen TV with standard 4:3 aspect, but still show a large 16:9 widescreen display for under $2K. The widescreen is 55"! It is beautiful as my wife has said. I recommend this TV for anyone that is on budget, not that this TV is cheap. The size and picture are absolutely stunning. I've only had minor issues with this product. The single HD tuner required me to purchase an HDTV swither so that I could play 480p (progressive scan) DVD's and also hook up my HD cable TV box. I bought the MadCatz HDTV swither for $20. Works great. The HD tuner cannot understand analog or 480i signals. I don't know if this is normal, but being a newbie at this stuff, it took me a while to figure out the right configuration for all of my hardware. The TV comes with a protective screen which has already paid off since my kids have written on it with pens and also scratched it within the first 2 weeks of ownership. Also, closed captioning is not an option under HD mode, unless you switch it on "manually" through the cable box or subtitles on the DVD player. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off until a service guy came out and figured the problem. The manual omitted that you cannot control it through AV-4 (HD mode). Customer Service was responsive when I contacted them regarding the closed captioning issue. My Playstation 2 is also fun to play on this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars the beast, March 19, 2005
This review is from: Philips 60PP9202 Epic 60" HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
first of all i bought this tv at sams club for $1299 and the service plan for around $199 in january
when i first started looking at tv's i decided i wanted something bigger than my curent 32 incher.
my uncle had just bought a 42 inch samsung projection tv and stand from sams club for around $1100 so i checked there and they were out of stock..so after looking around for a while i decided on a 55 inch wide screen philips from wal-mart that cost $1299
i wanted a philips mostly because i had just bought a new philips 6500d 5 disc dvd changer/home theater system.
the only problem was that wal-mart doesnt offer a service plan here in alaska so i decided to look at sams club agin because i knew they did.
so when i went there and saw the 60 inch beast for only $1299 and saw it was philips i was in love and bought it
i rented a u-haul because i dont have a truck and had a friend help me move it this was not easy it took us 3 hours to get it in my house at tempritures reaching -35 degrees below zero
i have 36 inch wide doors so that made it easyer but i also have a L shaped entry way with about 5 steps so that was the tricky part! defenatly needed help could not have done this myself!
so after i got the tv inside out of the box and connected to everything we watched alien vs predator and this tv is awsome
i would definately buy this tv agin i have had no problems since i bought it and have been very happy with the quality of the product!
i give philips 5 stars for there quality/price this tv is truely the beast.
if you are interested in this tv just make sure you read the other reviews at epinions.com they will explain more of the techical data about this tv the best info review i read is named
"a mixed bag" the author is right about everything:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful TV... Great Price..., March 7, 2005
This review is from: Philips 60PP9202 Epic 60" HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
Recently i had been looking into buying a Big Screen TV over 50" to replace my standard 32" crt in the living room. So the first decission to make was obviously widescreen or standard. I had settle my mind on a 55" mitsubishi widescreen and i had ordered it and everything. As i went and picked up my freezer from Sams Club i saw this monster sitting there at such a low price. So i run home and do a bunch of looking around in forums and reviews and came to the conclusion that i am canceling the order at best buy. Why? Because this TV is 60"... it will give around a 55" widescreen picture. So why pay more for less a TV. This one not only shows the picture the mitsu would but also shows more on standard movies and even more important cable television. It doesn't have a dvi input but i am using a radeon 9600 for the dvi out and i got a dvi>component converter so i can still do the 1080i with my card. It only has one component in also. but i am purchasing a reciever that will do the switching for me and i only need one input. So not only is the tv huge. its practical, its cheap, and what a wonderful all around look. The only thing i have beef with on this tv is that is has no real way to grab it and move it. Getting it up a stoop and through a door was a tough job so if you buy have them deliever it and bring it in for you. The back gaurd on it isn't very stable so its not a good thing to grab on. Weighs i would say around 200 pounds so you if moving yourself will need something more then the average house wife to help you with it. Other then the moving of it i have nothing bad to say. LOVE IT 4.5/5 Got mine at sams club for 1299. And for another 199 i got a 3 year service plan on it. Not only cheaper then best buy but cheaper then the manufactures warrenty... AND it goes into effect AFTER the manufactures warranty ends. Sorry for any bad grammar or spelling =(
