Good: Picture quality and the USB connection.
Bad: Slight judder on slow pans
Comment: I've now had this TV for 4 months (£1000 online but I've since found it for £850)
I've got it hooked up to Sky+ HD and a PS3 and the picture quality is superb. On very slow panning shots there is some slight judder but this is no worse than any other LCD I've seen. Watching the BBC HD broadcasts of the English Euro qualifiers has been a joy even if the performances could have been better! The high refresh rate eliminates any trails behind fast moving objects...
The ambilight is cool when the room is dark and the general look of the TV is great.
The best feature of all though is the USB connection. Philips have generously provided support for DivX and Xvid so I just copy my downloads (Heroes series 2 is great by the way ;) onto a stick and then plug 'n' play... It works fine for standard def avi files and does a fine job of upscaling...

Good: HD pictures, SD pictures
Bad: Sound could be better
Comment: Only had the TV for a month, had to go back because anything white was looking lime green, had it back now and everything seems fine. Slightly worried but hope it will be ok. Apart from that picture is breathtaking!

Good: Style, quality, Ambilight, picture quality
Bad: Confusing menu for adjusting settings
Comment: 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.
