Review:
Bought my Philips TV on the internet and paid considerably less than the prices quoted here. It arrived in a very cleverly designed box, which made setting up and connecting it extremely easy. I had everything up and running in no time at all, with all cables nicely hidden behing the front panel of the TV.
The picture quality of this TV is simply amazing, and once it is a bit darker outside you start to apppreciate the full effect of Ambilight! It really fills your whole living room with colour and is not only a style statement but really enhances the whole movie experience. Sadly I dont have HD TV yet, so cannot appreciate the picture quality this TV is capable of, but even with digital TV the quality is great.
The remote control deserves a special mention as well. It is very stylish and very easy to understand and use.
The only thing that surprised was, that there is no onscreen display to show when you turn up the volume. Not that it really matters, but thats my only criticism, if you want to call it that.
All in all, I am very happy I bought this TV.

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

Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
