"The backlighting is not uniform, This TV set is not reliable."
What I like:
The image quality when I bought it, but not now. The features.
What I don't like:
The unreliability of the backlighting.
Review:
At the beginning I was very satisfied with this TV set. But 2 months later, when I switch it on, the screen looks dark and we can see horizontal dark areas going from one side to the other. The cause of that is the backlighting is not uniform. You might think my set should go to repair. Yes, but the problem is that I'm not alone. I want to wait until Philips solve this reliability problem before sending it to repair.

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
