price vs. performance
(5 out of 5) by N-da-O on Dec 30, 2008"I bought this tv a few weeks ago for our kids to use for their viewing. (XBOX 360/ WII, ..etc.) The XBOX 360 graphics when using HDMI are incredible.
Sound is good enough. FWIW, the headphone jack is a nice feature for use w/ wireless headphones. i.e. The kids can put on headphones and "voila!" peace and quiet.
HD channels are very crisp/clear. Standard def is pretty good also. (standard def depends alot on signal strength from your cable provider.)
Overall I gave the tv a 5-star rating b/c of the low price and reasonable performance ratio. This is not a high-end Sharp or Sony so I am not considering that in the review. It is however several hundred dollars less that the high end."

Best price for great 42" LCD
(5 out of 5) by Fish On on Dec 23, 2008 (Annapolis, MD)For the price of $750 you will unlikely find a 42" LCD that has as great quality as this Philips! I had a Vizio 32" prior to upgrading and saw a remarkable difference in the picture, sound and overall appearence!!!

This thing is amazing
(4 out of 5) by Hiro4Now on Dec 11, 2008 (Texas)I purchased this product on Black Friday as an early Christmas gift. It's my first flat panel HD TV. I bought it on the specs, the Philips name and the price.
Set up was a snap. It took longer to get it out of the box than to get it operational. The remote is intuitive. The on screen menus are simple and straightforward.
For me coming from a traditional TV, the picture is outstanding. Colors are rich and lush. The blacks are black. The detail is amazing. You can see the pores on news anchors' skin. The screen is viewable from multiple angles.
Speakers are hidden within the unit's case. Sound quality is excellent.
Setting up other devices (DVD player, game console) was simple. It has more connectors than I expect I'll need (at least for now).
This unit provides a lot of value.
