I purchased this TV two months ago at a popular warehouse retail store. I had spent one month researching and shopping around. At the start of my research, I was leaning toward a 42" Plasma. Throughout my research process I determined that the LCD technology was equal to, and probably surpassing the plasmas. I decided to switch gears and only focus on LCD's. I had also been told by MANY of my peers that, "whatever size you are thinking about, go one higher assuming you have the space." I took their advice, and have not been disappointed.
My ultimate decision to purchase this Phillips model was in large part due to the cost; however I spent a considerable amount of time in the store fine tuning the picture on the floor model to make sure that I could achieve results that I was looking for. I found that within a short amount of time I could get the picture to look at least as good as all the other floor models, and better than the majority of them. The menus are not as easy to navigate through, as some other brands, but I see this as a non-factor. Once I set up the picture and programmed my favorite stations, it's simple to use.
I'm an Architect so overall set design was also important to me. I have to say that the Phillips, by far, was the best TV to look at, regardless of it being turned on. The TV stand, is very geometric, and constructed out of simple materials, without plastics. In my opinion the set would fit very well in any "contemporary" room. I recently hung mine on the wall with a peerless, tilting, wall mount, and concealed the cables. I'm slightly sad that I had to moth-ball the stand, however now the room looks like it has another piece of art on the wall. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. A great way to spend the Tax Return!!!
Amazing Picture Quality, Great Features for a reasonable price March 6, 2008

I have had this TV for almost a month now and it is absolutely amazing to watch HD programming on this television.
Please note the model number when looking at a Philips TV. Walmart and SAM's club both sell Philips 1080p 47" TVs but the models are different. I bought mine from SAMS and this one had HD Pixel Engine, while the one at Walmart doesn't.
Anyway, back to this TV. I am one of those people who like to do a lot of research before a purchase. I had the following requirements for a TV:
- Great Image quality. I still remember looking at some Plasmas and hated the fact that the you couldn't see anything on the screen if you not directly in front of them. I know Plasmas have gotten a lot better, and in my humble opinion LCD's are better. I can actually watch this TV from my kitchen which is atleast at a 45 degrees angle.
- Good for at least 5 years. This where the 1080p part comes in. Most programming today is either done in 720p, or 1080i. Only your blu-ray, or HD DVD player will actually be able to utilize the full capacity of 1080p. But I am sure that in future, 1080p programming will be available and I wanted to be prepared.
- Great brand, reasonable price. I love Philips, but I love SONY more. The problem with SONY however is that there products always cost a lot more for comparable set of features. This TV has some amazing features like SONY, just not the dazzling price.
In the end I am pretty satisfied with everything, or may be I am just trying to justify spending $1700 on an idiot box , who knows.
Here are some issues that you should be aware of before you buy an HDTV:
1. Regular programming looks worse. This tv does an excellent job of resizing the image automatically, but it is still a low resolution picture on a huge screen. Remember you don't want horizontal or vertical black bars while watching 4:3 programming because it can cause burn-ins. I know some of you will jump up and say that LCDs don't have that problem. To them I say, READ THE MANUAL. It's available on Philips' website.
2. Burn-ins. I know I covered that in my last point, but again, the manual says that burn-ins can occur, so be careful. I'd rather watch a little stretched out picture than mess up my TV.
3. You have to get HD programming to actually utilize the potential of this mammoth. I am a comcast customer in Florida, and they have a decent selection of HD channels. Remember directv might have more HD channels, but Comcast offers NBC, ABC and all the local channels in HD. It's not how many channels you have in HD, it's how many good channels you have in HD that counts. So before you buy this TV, make sure you have GOOD HD programming in your area.
I hope I could help some poor chap out there looking for a little guidance.
