Good looking TV - but has bugs.
(2 out of 5) by ESL on Aug 5, 2007 (Alexandria, VA)Ordered it from Amazon on 27 July 07. Excited when it came in less than a week delivered right to my door. Horray for Amazon! It is a beautiful set, but has significant problems: For one, it has issues acquiring the cable signal and often takes over 10 minutes to find it when turned on. Called the Philips hotline (they answered immediately!) and was told it was a satellite issue, not a TV problem. Funny, since my last TV didn't have any problems receiving the signal. Very, VERY frustrating.
Second problem: I tried to connect my digital camera to the USB and the TV said it was an "unsupportable device". Wow! If a common Canon Elph digital camera is not supported by this TV, then few devices must be. (In fact, the manual says that only USB 1.1 are compatible). The Philips tech people said I should download the pictures onto a memory stick to view them. Odd and unnecessarily frustrating.
So, based on my early experience, there are better HDTVs out there.
