I just received this set on 3/9 and couldn't be happier. Personally, I think Philips makes the best looking projection sets. As far as the picture, regular cable channels look any where from good to ok...but they looked that way on my 27" Sony, too. On the HD channels, the picture is simply wonderful. This set also has some really nice features, like DVI high definition terminal connection, subwoofer output, and the ability to use the tv's own speakers (which are good) as the center channel. It also has an auto convergence feature, as well the ability to adjust convergence manually. For $1,800.00 + free delivery and no tax, it's a great bargain. Instead of a smaller plasma, buy this set and use the money you saved to take the family to Disney! :)

Worked OK for about two months then the picture folded up and completely vanished. Philips refered us to a local shop which came promptly, unfortunately a defective part would take about 4 weeks to get. After four weeks, it was expected in another two weeks. Then another week. Then another week. After the shop e-mailed Philips and got no response they gave up checking, I started calling Philips. That was a month ago. Each week Philips tells me the part will arrive next week (well, there was one time that the part was arriving that day, but then the next day it wasn't there, so it would be another week).

So Philips somehow keeps manufacturing and selling this model, but they don't have the part to fix my defective set--after almost four months. How do they do it?

For an item that costs thousands, manufacturers should provide better support than this. There won't be any Philips products in my future.

My 32" Sony went out after 10 years and i was on the hunt for a new TV. It had been many years since searching for a television and they have come a long way. Although i had been happy with my sony and was looking at sony tubes the big screens caught my eye. I looked at the Mitsubishi, Sony, Akai, Toshiba, Phillips. I did think the Mits and Sony had the best picture quality for a rear projection and was just about to purchase a 65" Mits for 2,499$ when my wifed noticed a green tag laying next to the Phillips and it was for 1,499$ for the 60". After further help at the store with all the features and hooking up a DVD player to view the picture and an HD box to check out the HD view I was sold. For the price nothing could touch it in quality and size and have been very pleased with the picture quality and sound quality. At my price point im must say im overall pleased but wouldnt we all want the 61" Plasma, dang i dont have 20,000$ to burn, LOL.....

We bought this HD Tv in March and couldn't be happier with it. We've now added HD cable to the house! The sports programs we've watched have been amazing. The picture quality is excellent. The only problem is with the remote for where Philips put the "AV" switch - under this concealed area that's a pain to open at times. Other than that, we'd buy this tv again in an instant. We bought it at $1800 with no delivery and no sales tax. After more research, we could not find a better deal anywhere - internet or local stores.

I bought this for my parents when I was in Iraq. Yes Iraq and they just LOVE IT. It was a good price for an awsome set. I've seen the picture and sound and it's true. I bought me a big set too not this one cuz it was just to big.

I would love to give this tv a five. I am no expert but it is very nice. my father has a 61" sony and this one has a way better picture. my problem is that it arrived with a crack in the screen and i have written two emails to amazon and have not received a response. the tv "in general" is a good bargin. if my problem ever gets fixed I would defiently recommend it to anyone.
