"Best thing ever"
What I like:
Superb picture, connections, design, ambilight
What I don't like:
should have motorized base swivel.
Review:
This 42PFL9632D from Philips is an advanced LCD TV set and I am glad that I have one.
I enjoy everything although the sound should have a few more watts but because I bought the Philips sound bar HTS8100 with DVD player (another masterpiece from Philips) I have the perfect "marriage" on my lounge (at list) between picture and sound.
Connecting a laptop via HDMI or S-VHS is wonderful avoiding the old "PC connector".
I do miss the motorized base swivel from my previous LCD and I would give a 10 to this superb LCD.
Thank you Philips for producing wonderful technology with beautiful design.
NB. Because my LCD is made in China (not in Europe anymore, no offence) I do hope that Philips are still committed with the QUALITY of all components that are used in this LCD.

On 2 December, Freeview HD launched, at least technically. Sadly, there's no equipment that can receive the broadcasts at the moment, but the channels are certainly up and running

An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12)
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
