Price range: £488.99 - £499.98
What is it: HD Ready LCD TV with a remarkably affordable price
What we think: The 37PFL5522D is extraordinarily cheap for a 37-inch TV from an established brand, but you get what you pay for

We like:
Exceptionally cheap price tag; includes a version of Philips' Pixel Plus HD picture processing
We don't like:
Suffers with motion blur; slightly cheap looks; muted colours; lack of connectivity options
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Philips has notched up some notable successes of late at the premium end of the market. But we have to say that its trip 'downtown' with the 37PFL5522D hasn't been entirely successful, as the set fails to escape from LCD technology's traditional deficiencies as well as we'd hoped
