Philips Lcd Tvs

Review by Shbrai : awesome picture for a good price

That's my second Philips TV. I decided to buy Philips again because was very happy with my old TV. It was the right decision... it is cheaper than other brands like Sony and LG, and in my opinion the picture is even better!! The 120Hz makes really a difference when you are watching sports. Amazing! The connection with Internet services like NetFlix works perfectly using my WiFi... really convenient. The initial setup couldn't be easier!! I recommend this product!!

Review by wayne : WIFI

Great price for A Internet ready TV with wi-fi Picture looks good Very happy with the TV.The bad you cant add local Channels (antenna) without erasing the channels you have stored. Not a LED LCD TV,it will use more power,and not as thin.(But thats y it cost less)You can do a google search to get the picture setting..copy and paste,HDTV picture settings forum: Philips 40PFL5706/F7 picture settings

Review by Rob : Great TV

This TV has officially been the best TV I have ever known, the HDMI hookup to the computer is especially awesome for Skyrim. When I'm watching TV I love it, the picture is sharp, just make sure to set up the color first. The net TV is an awesome upgrade, just wished it would work with amazon prime.

Review by mystuff "mystuff" : Very good value for your $

Out of the box the TV was very easy to set up. Slip it onto the stand, fasten 4 screws and you're done. The picture quality set up is very easy as well with walkthrough on-screen prompts. The wireless network setup is the same. Found and connected to my router easily. My router is three rooms away and I do not experience any lag at all watching Netflix streaming over my wireless connection. Excellent! It's just like watching any movie on a cable station.Having the Pandora, Twitter, game apps and other apps available is a very nice touch. Only thing missing is Youtube but you can stream that over the TV through your wireless or USB connection from your laptop or pc.Sound quality is good as well. I would recommend this TV and think it's a good deal for having the wifi option included.

Review by yudi : great buy

i bought this one on black friday after a long search through all the sales and i am very happy with my choice. Great picture quality. easy internet access through wifi which allows me to watch netflix movies without any other connections. i dont have any hd channels or special programming and still the image looks great on regular cable channels. position of cable port its a bit awkward and uncomfortable but manageable.overall a great purchase for the price

Review by Dave Reece : Fixed Media Connect issue!!!

I bought this T.V. last week, and would agree with most other reviewers (I Like it and got it for $599.00 at Best Buy Canada)! Also that not having analog RCA out jacks is a drawback. BUT, my main reason for writing the review is that by going hard-wire ethernet to my router instead of wireless, ALL the media streaming issues are resolved. The Media Connect that displays the Computer on the T.V. is very robust now (will still drop sometimes if I am streaming from a lap top in a different room, but not when my P.C. is hooked directly to the router). So by plugging in directly to my network router via the ether net port, I am very pleased with all streaming. I do agree that the wireless part sucks with Media Connect. I could not get it to work for more that 30 seconds before the message "T.V. has lost connection."

Review by SFMD : Should be a top seller.

I was hesitant to purchase this TV with one review online that didn't give it a good rating. It appears the TV was reviewed before it was released. Since then, the firmware has been updated which shows Phillips is committed to improving their product software in the long run. Also, you can't beat the price and features. A trip to a local retailer showed how nice this line of TV's are. The frame looks nice on the wall, with a consistant width all around and rounded corners. The picture quality is good and blacks are black with no bleeding. 120Hz display makes action smooth. Sound quality is good and the speakers are on the back of the TV so if you are mounting on the wall, the sound gets reflected back nicely. As a bonus, you get 4 HDMI ports. Most in this price range have 3. I have yet to try the Wireless Media Connect and Apps but I will update my review when I do.This is a great buy and looks nice mounted on the wall.Update: 11/25/11 Still working great. The apps and streaming from a PC to the TV also works good. The only gripe on the PC to TV streaming is there is a few seconds of lag. This could be attributed to the fact that my stream is going over wifi. Some content such as Copyrighted DVD or BluRay streams are blocked.Tip: Put it in Game mode for lag free gaming.

Review by Tom : Awesome Deal

Huge upgrade for me, just the wi-fi don't work properly. Doesn't sync up to my computer and lacks info on getting it to work. Other than that the TV is awesome.

Review by Jeremy McGuire : Really nice TV

We got this TV a few weeks ago, and so far I really like it. As a TV, the picture and sound are outstanding, as a supposed "smart" TV, not so much. I have my wireless router about 5 feet from the TV and the connection is still laggy. The UI for the TV is sluggish. I'd suggest using a roku player or a gaming system to connect to the internet. The only thing that is nice about the wireless connection the TV has is for updating the firmware. But my overall experience for the TV has been positive.
