Summary: It died & terrible customer service
Review: After about 2 months, the TV simply would not turn on. Called the customer service number -- the man who I finally talked to probably hadn't even seen this TV before. There is also no way to get the TV off the hanging bracket without taking the bracket down -- at least the customer service rep didn't know of a way. Worked great when it worked, just didn't work!

Summary: Exceeded my expectations
Review: Bought this tv for only $88 to use in the kitchen. I am impressed with the picture and the "undercabnet" attachment. I may buy another to give to my son and daughter in law as a gift.

Summary: A decent TV
Review: Does what a TV should do, has a good picture and good sound also. Only thing it is a little wide from front to back. But form side to side it is a nice shape and size.

Summary: Philips 9" TV
Review: Ecellent reception, sharp picture, fits where larger sets won't. Appreciably better sound and video than the cheaper sets I looked at. Not quite up there with the Sony 9"in terms of absolute color saturation but contrast, detail, sensitivity appear just as good,and it's ... cheaper.Would be better if they provided a tilt/swivel base instead of the overhead mount intended for mounting by hanging it from a kitchen cabinet. Cute but that's not the way most of us go. Dusty

Summary: Good and Bad news
Review: Good news -- This TV is very reasonably priced for the size. It could save much space in our kitchen. The under counter bracket has a much wider turning angle han some competitive units. Picture is bright and reception is good. Sound is adequate - better than some small units. The FM reciever is a great added bonus! Bad News -- Connected to an antenna instead of cable the UHF channels show the wrong channel number. Some TV's have a setting to correct this. The FM tuner doesn't search automatically or save channel settings. Thus, it is not convienent to use with more than one channel. These are both very minor shortcommings that can easily be ignored. Unfortunately, the TV emmits a very annoying high pitch noise that my 16 yr old son can easily hear. It is probably the horizontal scan mechanism radiating noise at 15,750 cycles per second. For this reason we are regretfully returning the TV.

Summary: An Adequate to Mediocre Kitchen TV Fairly Priced
Review: I bought a refurbished unit, but it looked new to me. Five minutes after hooking up to the cable, we had an extremely bright, sharp picture -- so bright and sharp that it almost hurt the eyes. It has a control to automatically search for all the tunable (cable) channels. Forty-five minutes later, while I was making supper, there was a small explosive sound and the picture was all fuzzy and washed out. I was hopping mad and ready to send it back, but I let it run all night to see what would happen. It looked the same the next morning, so I used the controls to dial a perfectly adequate picture. I think what happened was that it was factory-set for an extremely high color temperature, say 9000°+, but the tube couldn't hold that. BTW it has a normal range of picture tuning controls that you access through the remote. Also, I don't like the high-color temperature setting so many TVs come with now -- nor do I like the excessive red bias that many models have as their default color. Now it looks like a fairly normal picture -- not nearly as bright and sharp as it was initially, but perfectly adequate for a kitchen TV. It's been used every day for the past five weeks and it's OK -- not great, but not bad -- a perfectly average, or maybe even mediocre but functional, screen. Its not as sharp as the 14 year old GE five inch set it replaces (small text is extremely fuzzy), but the color fidelity and contrast are better. The sound is average too -- monophonic coming out of the right side of the set. The FM radio works just fine but it's a nuisance to dial stations if you like to hop around. The frequency of the station to which you are listening is shown on the screen constantly, but it hops up and down every few seconds or so to avoid burning the screen -- I don't know if that's necessary nowadays, and its slightly annoying to look at -- but why would anyone stare at an otherwise blank screen? The [$$$] I paid for the set is just about right -- it's that kind of set, not great, not bad. I'm thinking about getting another one. Dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Summary: great TV set
Review: I bought this TV to use in my computer room so i could see TechTV. The picture is clear and extreamly razor sharp in detail of picture, the color looks natural, and the tube is somewhat of a flat tube so it reduces glare and distortion of the corners unlike other tube TVs. this is my second Phillips TV set and i have been very pleased by the reliability and performance of them.
bottom line... Great TV,very sharp picture, perfect detail in picture, and a great price tag.
