Review: The Philips 42PFL7662D 42 Inch LCD

If you are hoping to get a bigger monitor for your living room at 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution, and if you want to start getting yourself ready for the shift to high definition programming, then you may want to consider the Philips 42PFL7662D LCD HDTV. At forty-two inches, this monitor has Pixel Plus HD that can allow you to watch high definition television with better details, clarity, and depth. The monitor also has its own 3D comb filter, which acts to separate colours with better definition providing sharper images than found on other LCD televisions.
 
This TV promises surround sound for better audio, and is slim: you can mount it on your wall and save yourself space for your other gadgets and appliances. In addition to these, you can enhance your own viewing experience by buying add-ons to this television set. For instance, you can get cables, brackets to attach your TV to your wall, various remote controls, and a home movie system that can allow you to get a home cinema feel. Your Philips TV is also high definition ready, so you can get high definition TV signals, and enjoy your Blu-Ray and high definition DVDs better.

This particular model of Philips LCD TV's also has a 5000:1 contrast rate, which allows it to display deeper blacks and brighter colours, an LCD weakness that has been around for some time. This model also has its own digital tuner, so that you can watch free channels that are broadcasting in digital. You can also avail yourself of the TV's built-in electronic programme guide. This model also has sockets that can allow you to hook up your TV to external video appliances.

Reviews for this Philips 42PFL7662D LCD have hitherto been mixed. Some critics and reviewers on-line call it brilliant, but often complain that they cannot connect the LCD TV to a personal computer easily. The picture quality is unlike any other, some critics even say, plus the TV is quite easy to set up. In some cases, however, customers have complained about having to go back constantly to their local Philips repair shop in order to have the TV fixed, but always coming home and finding something wrong. Complaints are also rife on after-sales service for Philips.

However, the price could well do it for this LCD TV, as some customers see it as good value for their money. The menus in particular appear easy to use, and Blu-Ray movies and high definition games look better on this LCD TV model. There is a complaint however, of not having good enough resolution when dealing with moving objects, as well as sound modes for the television, which are not good enough. The sound, reviews report, is too full of bass, and if headphones are used, there seems to be a low buzz that constantly plays. Moreover, the television seems much heavier than other LCD models, which are known to be lighter and easier to mount on a wall.

For more information on the Philips 42PFL7662D LCD TV model, you may talk to your local Philips representative or to appliance stores in your area that sell Philips products. Be sure to test your TV extensively and report any repairs that may have to be made. Moreover, update yourself on the latest in LCD TV technology so that you will know in advance if you have to deal with any problems with your LCD TV set.
