Philips 7000 (32PFL7404H/12) review

In this review

The 32PFL7404H/12 also offers impressively vivid colour saturation, sparklingly detailed and clean high-definition images, and some impressive judder reduction when watching Blu-ray material.

While the 32PFL7404H/12's audio predictably doesn't sound as punchy and authoritative as that of the 9000-series models, it still manages to sound slightly better than many other 32-inch TVs in its price range.

Our only significant gripes about the 32PFL7404H/12 are that you have to be careful with some of the image settings (the 'advanced sharpness' mode, for instance, should be avoided at all costs), and its realistic viewing angle is rather limited.

Conclusion
The differences in AV quality and features between the Philips 32PFL7404H/12 and 32PFL9604H/12 are sufficient to make saving up for the higher-spec model worthwhile. But that doesn't make the 32PFL7404H/12 in any way a bad TV -- it just shows that the 9000-series model is great. Judged against its direct rivals, the 32PFL7404H/12 is easily one of the finest TVs in its class.
