great product

I have a Philips LCD TV for three months now, and overall I am happy with it. Great picture, great sound level and a nice design. The only issue I have is with the media connect function. Using the media connect function is not that great, because when yo use this function, there is a noticeable lag between the TV and the computer. It is better to just hook up the computer to the TV using a HDMI cable, but overall it is a great product.
Pros: great picture, great sound, good design
Cons: media connect, placement of speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

OK Overall

Looks, picture, sound are all good. The short comings I find: You must have your router very close in order to take advantage of the internet.....,..so I can't. And for some reason it takes a while to come on after hitting the power button.
Other than these two problems TV is a go!
Cons: can't use the internet option if router isn't near, very slow start after pushing power button

Ghosting of sport images
on August 5, 2012

Not impressed with the quality of sports/actions images. While watching live action sports (football, golf, baseball, etc.) the images are not crisp; for instance golf balls and footballs in flight are shown as multiple balls instead of a single crisp image when in 1080i. I'm hopeful that this can be improved by software updates as I have not found a config setting to make the improvement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you haven't already, try pressing the auto-mode button at the top left of your remote control and then press down to move it to sports. This is for high action video and should correct your problem. If you are still having problems after that, please contact customer support @ 866-771-4018

Great picture...sound could be better

Fantastic picture quality. The built-in speakers have almost not bass and too much high and mid range. Ended up driving my dvr through the home stereo speakers. Sound is acceptable for my Wii. Also the buttons on the remote a touchy. When I click one, the TV acts as if I press the same button multiple times.
Pros: picutre, easy to use
Cons: sound, remote
I would recommend this to a friend!

good value

Overall I would recommend this television to others. For the money, it is a capable tv. I bought it for its cost to size, number of HDMI connections, and wi-fi capability. Although I bought it for the 4 HDMI connections, I ended up buying a Denon receiver to get better sound quality while watching movies (a flat panel can only do so much) and I now run everything through that and only use 1 HDMI.
Picture quality has been good to great for the most part. TV shows and movies have been excellent. Golf, baseball, and auto racing have been great but soccer has been below average to average. Can't figure out why.
Although I tested the wi-fi, and it was acceptable, I went with plugging the tv into the wireless router do to my living room setup.
NetTV picture quality was average to good but I prefer the better picture quality of the PS3 for Netflix and access to Hulu Plus. Vudu looked just as good through the Philips as it does with the PS3 though. I tested the internet music and video clip selections but nothing appealed to me. Just hope that Philips supports and/or allows others to come up with improvements to the internet viewing options in the future.
MediaConnect is an interesting feature and I plan on using it more in the future.

One reason I purchased this product was the media connect. It is not like expected or advertised. It usually doesn't work. Other than that it has a great picture.
