Summary: Picture Sucks
Review: After a short while my TV developed a green spot left of center. With the warranty, it would easily cost more than the entire TV to pay the labor to repair it. Then the sound began to get distorted for about the first half hour of operation every day. If you like watching your TV with a large green spot on the screen and distorted sound, this is the perfect product for you. If not, spend a bit more and get a TV you can actually watch. Preferably not a Philips product.

Summary: The Best 27" Standard TV
Review: After looking over about 30 TVs in the 22" - 30" range in Best Buy, the choice was clear. This Philips TV has by far the sharpest image and the most vibrant color of any standard TV in the 27" range. The quadrasurf feature is great too - it lets you assign your favorite channels to programmable buttons so you can hop between channels with a single click. The quality of the set and its construction are very high, it has survived two moves without any problems. It has lots of connection options, even a headphone output on the side. I can't recommend this set highly enough. When the time comes to get a larger set, I'm definitely getting another Philips.

Review: Great picture. Lousy TV. Mine quit working after 4 months. Conveniently 1 month after the full-coverage warranty. If you've read the other reviews you know to stay away from this and any Philips TV.

Summary: High Pitched Noise
Review: I bought an older model of this TV about 3 years ago, and I also have had problems with the high pitched noise it gives off. It's incredibly annoying and distracting when you're trying to watch a good show. The sound is of course most noticable when the volume is lower. I wouldn't buy another Phillips. Pay a little more money for a better brand!

Summary: PLEASE READ THIS
Review: I bought this TV for a birthday gift. First of all one must remember when reading reviews that most reviews are from people with bad results with the product. I have a 27in Philps TV., 6 years old with no trouble ever at all. This TV has a feature that is not shown in the description its called AVL, that you turn on in the menu under sound. It keeps the volume at the level you set it at. Which means no loud TV commercials.

Summary: The Sound on this is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
Review: I purchased this tv last March.Immediately after hooking it up I realized that I had made a huge purchase mistake. <br /> I am not a techie snob in the least. I just wanted to watch my basic cable shows in comfort. The sound on this tv sounds like a blown speaker in a car . That humming/buzzing sound interferes with basic dialogue on tv shows. I was so upset that there wasn't anything that phillips could do to help me ..I don't recommend this to anyone not even to a deaf consumer ...that is how awful the sound is..oh and the picture isn't great either ..save your $$ for a sony or toshiba.
